Afrobeats

WurlD’s effortlessly emotional vocals guide the listener through a musical journey on *Love Is Contagious*. Each track balances his Nigerian heritage and Western pop influences, combining Afrobeats, juju and Apala into an intriguing blend he calls “fuji pop”. There’s the loping bass rhythm and brass-like synths of “Show You Off”, a collab with Shizzy and Major Lazer’s Walshy Fire. “Paranoid” kicks off with flute and a funky pace, and “Contagious” bubbles with rhythm. WurlD’s lustrous voice is complemented by excellent songwriting, making for a deeply infectious project with a uniquely African vibe.
