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. Seru The Ellipsis Ft Lowfeye – Fruit and Veg
“Fruit and Veg” is not a song for the party; it’s a song for the walk home. It’s for moments of solitary reflection, for staring out a window with your thoughts, for processing the day.
2. Swing – L’enfer
Some songs are meant to be played in the background. Others demand your full, undivided attention. “L’enfer” (which means “Hell” in English) Swing falls into the latter category.
3. Utah Nice – Time
The early stages of a crush are a special kind of torture. It’s a world of hopeful texts, overanalyzed conversations, and the agonizing space between dates. Utah Nice’s “Time” captures this specific, fragile emotion perfectly.
4. Zlatan ft. Qing Madi – Demons
Zlatan teams up with Qing Madi to tackle a more intimate enemy on this record. This is not a song about overcoming the world; it’s a song about overcoming the war within.
5. Durand Bernarr & E-WHIZZ – No Business
This record isn’t a timid, questioning love song. It’s a bold declaration of unconditional surrender. Durand is fully aware that he’s in too deep, and his only response is to love even harder.
6. issi ft. Blue Pappi, Lowfeye & Kane Keid – Bhantshi
“Bhantshi” operates on a frequency that resonates beyond its lyrics. The ad-libs, the specific cadence of the flows, and the raw energy are all cultural signifiers. This is music made for the speakers of a moving car.
7.ANNY & Ghanaian Stallion – 100%
n a world of situationships and mixed signals, “100%” is a breath of fresh, affirming air. It’s the anthem for when the talking stage is over and the real commitment begins.
8. Rumbidzai Mundeta – Anondichengeta
Rumbidzai sings of being shielded from danger, provided for in times of need, and granted peace in the midst of chaos. Each verse stands as a testament to a specific instance of grace, building into a powerful chorus where the title “Anondichengeta” is proclaimed as an unshakable truth.
9. Learn Zimbabwe, Shona Prince & Takura ft Tamy Moyo – Pote
“Pote” is more than just a collaboration; it’s a vibe. It’s a testament to the power of Zimbabwean artists to create a sound that is locally authentic and universally irresistible. So press play, and don’t be afraid to get a little lost.
10. Yanga Chief – Utatakho
