Obongjayar unveils new album 'Paradise Now'

Obongjayar returns with 'Paradise Now', the highly anticipated follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut, 'Some Nights I Dream of Doors'. Marking a bold new chapter for the Nigerian-born, London-based artist, the project showcases his most expansive sound yet.

Crafted between London and LA with the help of producers Kwes Darko, Yeti Beats, and Beach Noise, 'Paradise Now' is a sonic journey that feels both global and deeply personal. With influences ranging from Afrobeat and punk to soul and electronica, Obongjayar builds his own version of paradise, one defined by freedom, resistance, and healing. Notably, the album features a standout collaboration with fellow UK powerhouse Little Simz, adding extra weight to an already powerful body of work.

Thematically, the album explores ideas of identity, displacement, and the search for peace in a world of chaos. It’s a powerful reflection on growth, as Obongjayar peels back the layers of his artistry.

With 'Paradise Now', Obongjayar further cements his place as one of the most innovative and important voices in contemporary music. Check out the album in full via the links below.
