After more than a year away from new releases, Midex is set to make a triumphant return to the Afrobeat scene with his highly anticipated single Sick Love, dropping on 10th April 2026.
Blending Afrobeat, Afropop, and Amapiano, Sick Love is a vibrant and addictive record that signals a powerful shift back into Midex’s signature lover boy era. Following the reflective tones of his previous release, Bami Se featuring Lyta, which explored themes of gratitude and personal growth, this new single bursts with romance, rhythm, and pure feel-good energy.
Sick Love draws inspiration from that overwhelming rush of meeting someone who completely takes over your emotions, the intense, exciting kind of attraction that makes everything else fade into the background. The track masterfully balances the softness of genuine affection with the high-energy pulse of desire, creating a sound that moves both the heart and the feet.
Sonically, the record honours classic Afrobeat roots while introducing a fresh, new-school edge. Catchy melodic phrases such as Ebelebe and Boshen Jo infuse the song with authentic cultural flavour and an irresistible bounce, making it perfectly suited for the dancefloor, late-night drives and viral moments on TikTok.
Although Midex has not dropped new music in over a year, he has remained a constant presence on stage, delivering electrifying performances and opening for some of Afrobeats’ biggest names in the UK, including Seyi Vibez, BNXN, Bella Shmurda, Shoday, Rybeena, Reekado Banks, T.I Blaze, Lyta and many more. This sustained connection with live audiences has only heightened anticipation for his return.
Sick Love represents more than just a comeback. It is a bold reaffirmation of Midex’s core identity as an artist who seamlessly weaves love, rhythm and storytelling into music that resonates deeply with listeners. With this release, he looks to reconnect with his growing fanbase and deliver the first in a series of back-to-back hits.
Midex is a rising talent whose sound fuses Afrobeat, Hip-Hop, R&B and beyond, rooted in personal experience and rich cultural influences. Originally from Lagos, Nigeria, he began creating music with the simple aim of connecting people through rhythm and honest storytelling. Since arriving in the UK, his powerful lyrics, infectious beats and distinctive voice have quickly earned him recognition as one to watch. Whether on record or live on stage, Midex continues to build a loyal following with music that feels like a genuine experience.
