Nigerian artist Joeboy returns with new single ‘SMH’.
Out now, the single continues Joeboy’s vibrant creative partnership with Tempoe, an astute, empathetic studio voice who knows how to unlock the Lagos star’s intention.
‘SMH’ is a finely balanced return, with the spacious, haunting production lifting Middle Eastern tropes and blending them with afrobeats fire.
Lyrically, Joeboy reveals a tale of regret, building a dong that touches on toxicity and the toll of manipulation and emotional abuse.
Out now on Young Legend via Warner Africa, it’s a real creative statement from Joeboy. He says…
“There’s a certain clarity of mind that hits you when you finally understand that not all relationships are meant to last forever. Some are just phases with lessons to learn — simple as that. Whatever seems to be missing, no matter how hard you try, is missing for a reason.”
Tune in now.
