Nigerian singer-songwriter De Gold releases his new single Devotion on 18th September 2026, an Afrobeat-rooted, Afrogospel-flavoured track built for early risers and those chasing something bigger. Devotion began with no plan at all. During a session with his producer, sosickpro, the pair were simply playing through sounds when De Gold started humming harmonies over one particular beat. The producer moved on without hearing him, so De Gold asked him to go back, certain he had felt something on it. Rather than sit down to write, De Gold began freestyling about how he felt after returning from a trip that had cost him some personal things, including items he had to sell.…

While countless love songs celebrate new attraction or heartbreak, “Touch This Body” turns its attention to what happens after the butterflies settle.

There is a strange beauty in music that refuses to reveal its final shape too early. For Seamus, the songwriter and creative force behind Phraen, that uncertainty became an important part of making “After,” an album that grew from character studies, atmosphere and a willingness to follow an idea wherever it led. The record was originally titled “Lens,” reflecting its early concept as a series of snapshots from different characters’ lives. Rather than building the album around one fixed musical direction, Seamus approached each song according to the personality and atmosphere it needed. That decision opened the door to some…
