Nigerian afro-fusion artist Tim Lyre presents ‘Tighter’ ahead of his new kaleidoscopic EP “MASTA”, released via avant-garde London-Johannesburg-based record label Outer South. This EP follows his debut album “Worry <“, released in March of 2022, a project which instantly cemented itself as a cult classic amongst the alté community.
His new single ‘Tighter’, which is set for release on October 13th, is a sultry, sexy afrobeats jam that seamlessly navigates themes of sensuality, love, and pure joy, alongside one of the year’s emergent stars, Minz, produced by long-time collaborator DaRe.
With a bold departure from thematic conventions and painstaking care taken with every element of the futuristic sound, the project emerges as a breath of fresh air, boldly showcasing Tim’s unrelenting commitment to artistic exploration.
“For self-assurance, self-confidence, and overall self-improvement. I’ll do my best, I want you to do the same. Take good care of yourself. I look forward to seeing the greatest version of you.”
Encompassing collaborative efforts from the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Nigeria, MASTA stands as a vibrant pan-African and diasporic masterpiece, effortlessly melding voices and cultures into a harmonious, globe-trotting symphony, a global expression of where afro-fusion finds itself in 2023.
