Over the years, Olamide has earned the title of “voice of the street,” a name that continues to precede him. The legendary Nigerian artist has not only built a solid career for himself but has also played a pivotal role in the rise of several successful acts, including fan favorite Asake. More than a decade into his career, Olamide is still delivering hits. He now returns with his 11th studio album, Olamidé.
As fans everywhere welcome the album, recognizing it as replay worthy but none of which have made their way to apps like TikTok and Instagram, just yet. It is agreeable that Olamide’s concern stands at quality before trends. Featuring the People’s favourites, Olamide’s album had Wizkid, Darkoo, FADI, Seyi Vibez, Popcaan, Dr. Dre, Asake, Dj SPINALL, Daecolm, Boj and Young Jonn.

Starting off with tunes to ease you from the day before, or perhaps the hour before, from whatever stress there is. Fxrtune’s serves as a welcoming introduction into Olamide’s Olamidé Album. Paving way for the Religious Fans' favorite which takes on Prayer and reflection, Hasibunallah comes in as a self-appreciative sound.
Speaking of favorites, “99” has already emerged as a fan standout. Its instant impact hooks you from the first listen— the beat and rhythm being so fluid, it feels like you’ve known the song long before its release. But for me, Indika is the heart of the project. It carries the album on its back as I would describe it to be deeply resonating with a certain and peaceful atmosphere, and specifically memorable.
Nigerian music has fully embraced the art of sampling, and Olamide makes sure his new album doesn’t miss out. On “Luvaluvah”, he samples Lauryn Hill’s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You“, layering it with a romantic melody that feels timeless. It’s the perfect song for you and your partner, reminding you that even the smallest gestures of love remain essential, especially in these serious times.
On multifaceted terms, Olamidé remains that guy as the album contains multiple themes, the love of God and romance of your person, self reflection, appreciation, gratitude and hope. Olamide’s sound resonates with the streets ready to take on the party and then lay in bed reminiscing good times.
