Nigerian singer-songwriter Fireboy DML, after his electrifying performance with DJ Spinall on his Coachella debut, released his first single of 2024, “Everyday,”
The track marks the conclusion to the old Fireboy, ushering in a new era of his sound which incorporates a more grounded and culturally resonant vibe with traditional African beats as the backdrop, gentle shakers in place of typical percussion, and a saxophone that carries the melody the whole way through. Thus, in turn induces a more intimate and soulful atmosphere that complements Fireboy’s moving lyrics with a softer, rhythmic forward approach, which showcases his continuous musical innovation.
In “Everyday,” Fireboy’s emotive lyrics delve into themes of longing and affection, with poignant lines resonating with listeners on a personal level. Fireboy’s growth as an artist is shown through this track’s authenticity and raw emotion.
Fireboy DML made his debut at Coachella with a high-energy performance on fellow Nigerian DJ and record producer SPINALL’s set. Then, on weekend two Fireboy joined Jon Batiste for an electrifying performance of their hit record “Drink Water” which also featured Jon Bellion for the first time ever off of Batiste’s Grammy-nominated studio album “World Music Radio”. Additionally, Fireboy was featured on Forbes Africa’s 30 Under 30 List and has secured his second mainstream crossover record, “Liar,” in collaboration with Justin Timberlake from the album “Everything I Thought It Was”. This success follows his first notable mainstream hit, “Peru,” featuring Ed Sheeran, which achieved Platinum status in the U.S. and went 2x Platinum in the UK.
