Nigerian Star PATORANKING Drops Star-Studded Album
Raking in over 500 million YouTube views, a quarter of a billion DSP streams for his previous 2020 album Three, Nigerian star Patoranking lives up to his anointed moniker “World Best” from his devoted fans, a following of over 8.8 million on Instagram alone. Through his long standing reputation of layering afrobeats, dancehall and reggae, the Lagos-born artist is in a class of his own. He was instantly drawn to the pulsating native rhythms of galala, an uptempo reggae-inspired music and dance that took over his streets in the 1980s and 1990s. His fourth studio album, aptly titled World Best, is a masterfully modern culmination of this genre fusion – driven by love, life and conscious lyricism.

NJ indie pop outfit Lightheaded announces new EP on Slumberland, shares “Mercury Girl”
New Jersey’s Lightheaded have conjured, through some mysterious alchemy, a distinctive flavor of pop that draws as much from 60s Brill Building, garage-pop and folk-pop as it does from the DIY indie explosion of the 80s/early 90s. Their debut EP Good Good Great! shows that the band’s core Cynthia and Stephen are clearly students of pop in all its permutations, but they wear their influences lightly — a typical Lightheaded song could have been released in 1966 or 1986, but in fact sounds just right in 2023!
