Nigerian singer-songwriter Orezi, born Esegine Allen, is making a powerful comeback, determined to reclaim his place at the apex of the Afrobeats scene. With fresh music, high-energy performances, and an ambitious year ahead, he’s setting the stage for a triumphant return.
In November, Orezi teamed up with South African sensation PCEE for a remix of his impressive single I Swearcreating a fusion of Nigerian and South African sounds that resonates across borders. The collaboration has been making waves, and with the release of the official music video—shot in South Africa—the track’s momentum has only grown stronger.
This latest release follows the success of his Chocolate Daddy EP, which showcased his versatility through collaborations with artists like Tekno, Ugandan superstar Sheebah, and Cameroonian singer Daphne. The project reaffirmed Orezi’s ability to unite diverse African influences, further cementing his status as a gifted artist.
After spending significant time in the UK, Orezi recently returned to Nigeria and wasted no time reconnecting with his fans. On Sunday, February 3rd, he delivered a thrilling, high-energy performance at Club Vogue, marking his official return to the music scene. The night attested to his enduring star power, as he had the crowd vibing to both his classic hits and new sounds.
Looking ahead, Orezi has confirmed that a new album is on the way. However, before the full project drops, he plans to keep fans engaged with a steady stream of singles, ensuring that 2025 is the year he solidifies his place at the forefront of Afrobeats once again.
With his hunger, talent, and a clear vision for the future, Orezi is back—and he’s here to stay.
