Every week, the iMullar staff rounds up ten songs we cannot stop listening to, thus forming the weekly list of songs known as “On Rotation.” You heard these recommendations here first. From the UK to Nigeria, each track from this week’s selections is guaranteed to be a vibe.
1. Lalid – The Matter
Lalid floats over a minimalist, Drill beat. The production leaves just enough space for his rugged flow to detail a a new dog in the yard.
2. Deno – Girls
Pure, unadulterated Dancehall swagger. Deno’s boastful anthem is built on a punchy, no-frills beat and a chant-along hook that’s engineered for the club. His charismatic flow bounces between melodic taunts and assertive bars, crafting a track that’s as much a viral moment as it is a celebration of hedonistic youth.
3. Nhance – Love
Nhance delivers a warm, Soulful record that declares devotion. It’s the kind of effortless, dark mantra that reminds you that some love are just too dangerous to venture.
4. EeQue, Pcee & Royal MusiQ – Ke Wave
This is Amapiano in its hypnotic form. It’s a masterclass in minimalism, designed for the dance floor to get lost in the groove and never find the way out.
5. Otile Brown ft Nviiri The Storyteller – Furaha yako
A gorgeous ballad that finds two Kenyan powerhouses at their most tender. Over gentle acoustics, Otile and Nviiri trade velvety, heartfelt vocals about finding joy in a partner’s happiness. The sincerity in their harmonies is palpable, making for a romantic and profoundly soothing listen.
6. Blinky Bill ft Lisa Oduor Noah – Bella
Blinky Bill crafts an artful, eclectic soundscape of syncopated beats and melodic synths, creating a uniquely textured foundation. Lisa Oduor-Noah’s vocals are the Soulful anchor, gliding through with a Jazz-inflected grace that’s both yearning and affectionate.
7. Kofi Stone – Rainfall
Kofi Stone offers a masterclass in introspective Hip-Hop, laying his articulate flow over a soulful, jazz-sample-inspired beat. He narrates tales of struggle and resilience with the precision of a seasoned storyteller, using the rain as a powerful metaphor for life’s relentless challenges.
8. Ross Kana – MOLELA
Ross Kana comes through with a festival-ready Afro-house anthem. His fervent, call-and-response vocals feed off the track’s raw energy, creating an atmosphere of pure, unadulterated celebration.
9. Kidwild & Thiago Sub – Has To Be You 2
A deep and melancholic record cut that pulls you into its wistful vortex. The thumping, resonant bassline and ethereal pads provide a sleek backdrop for that haunting, chopped vocal sample echoing the title’s mantra. It’s a sophisticated, moody builder made for lost-in-the-movement trance states.
10. Venna ft. Jorja Smith – Myself
Venna sets a smoky, Jazz-hop scene with his soulful sax melodies and a head-nodding beat, creating the perfect backdrop for a legend. Jorja Smith slides in with that unmistakable, weary-yet-assured tone, delivering introspective bars on self-reliance.
