Nigerian veteran singer, D'Banj has released the first instalment of his project titled, “Stress Free, Chapter 1” EP.
On “Stress Free”, D'banj slips into a traditional Afrobeat crooner mode, visible in the multi-layered fusion of horns, saxophones and futuristic Afrobeat synths across tracks.
The Egypt 80 bring the horns on the Afrobeat fusion, “Zombie”,and the Afrobeats-meringue mix of “Lagos” as well as the free-wheeling “Stress Free” and “Banga”.
“I went back to basics – which is why I got The Egypt 80 Band (Fela Kuti's band, led by his son Seun Kuti) on all seven tracks – and then eased into a realm of zero anxiety after a turbulent 36 months of stress that the world has been through!” says D'Banj.
