Obongjayar is back with a bold new statement in the form of his latest single, 'Jellyfish' - a fiery preview of his upcoming second album 'PARADISE NOW', set to land on May 30th. Teaming up with Carlos O’Connell of Fontaines D.C. and producer Kwes Darko, the Nigerian-born artist blends jagged synths, punk urgency, and percussion-driven energy to deliver one of his most confrontational records yet.


'Jellyfish' cuts through the noise as a critique of the ruling class. Laced with Obongjayar’s signature fusion of UK experimentalism and Nigerian rhythmic influence, the track acts as both a protest and a pulse - an outlet for frustration and defiance aimed squarely at governmental dysfunction.


The single follows a string of genre-defying releases including 'Sweet Danger', 'Not in Surrender', and 'Just My Luck', all of which continue to build the layered and unpredictable world of 'PARADISE NOW'.


If 'Jellyfish' is any indication, Obongjayar's next album promises to be a powerful reflection of political unrest, personal truth, and sonic freedom. So, with that being said, waste no time and check out the new track below.
