Afrobeats is home to irresistibly fascinating female talents whose impacts have been felt locally and internationally. But there’s one notable songbird and diva with a captivating aura and presence. Her name: Yemi Alade.

With multiple chart-topping singles and highly-coveted awards to her name, Yemi Alade’s decade-long successful musical career has seen her sing soulful ballads, dancehall club bangers, and scintillating R&B records all while maintaining her title as Mama Africa.

In these ten songs from her impressive catalogue, the songstress expresses different sides of her persona and entertains in an unforgettable way. This week’s Afrobeats Throwback Thursday presents Yemi Alade at her very best.

10) Bamboo

‘Bamboo’ is a classic. The Fliptyce-produced mid-tempo ballad reels listeners in through Yemi’s impeccable vocals as she relays her unshakeable feelings for an unnamed love interest. Listening to this song again, you’d want to fall in love all over or remember the good old days.

9) Temperature

Off her debut album, ‘King of Queens’, the Dil-assisted track has Yemi duetting her heart out on this Afro-R&B number. At this point, she was on top of her game. The compelling visuals also tell a good story of how the singer can be such a lover girl.

8) Na Gode

Pairing up with her hit machine at the time, Selebobo, she served up this jam to express her gratitude for the wins she had recorded so far. It was perfect as the lead single off her sophomore album, ‘Mama Africa’. She was already entering francophone-speaking markets and winning over their hearts during this phase of her career.

7) Africa

What’s a Mama Africa without a song about Africa? On this song, Yemi confirms her love for Africa on a BeatsByEmzo production. Recruiting Sauti Sol for a verse crowned it all.

6) Want You

Maleek Berry’s eclectic production blends with Yemi’s audacious vocals in this EDM and Afro-Caribbean music fusion track. Talk about range.

5) Bum Bum

This dancehall track introduced Yemi’s racy side to fans. Records like ‘Bubble It’ and ‘Baddie’ were birthed because ‘Bum Bum’ was teased and the audience liked it.

4) Shake

Who does highlife with Duncan Mighty and kills it? Yemi Alade. Off her critically-acclaimed album ‘Woman of Steel’, ‘Shake’ sees Yemi collaborate with Nigeria’s highlife maestro himself, Port-Harcourt’s first son, Wene Mighty to deliver an exotic record.

3) Vibe

She wants a boy who will love her scatter. Another EDM beauty served up by the Queen herself. ‘Vibe’ is a delicious blend of dancehall and reggae.

2) Remind You

Yes. This song is to remind you that R&B is Yemi’s bread and butter. Her vocals glide effortlessly and smoothly as she reminds a love interest of the times they used to share.

1) Criminal in Agbada

‘Criminal in Agbada’ is the singer’s conscious side expressing itself. Yemi flaunts her dynamism on this reggae track as she discusses the socio-political ills of her country.

Consistency is the name of the game. Give it to Yemi Alade.

The Headies has unveiled the nominations for its 17th edition and it wasn’t without some surprise omissions.

The eligibility window for this award ceremony was fixed between April 1, 2023, and July 31, 2024. During this time, Nigerian artists released notable projects and records, many of which were nominated.

Like every award ceremony, some omissions sparked conversations, especially given the profile of the artists involved and the quality of the snubbed material. However, the Headies 17th edition suffers peculiar challenges notably because of the recurring delay in the ceremony and poor execution.

In this article, we considered some of the major snubs and misses from the 17th Headies Awards nominations list.

Note: This write-up is based on the assumption that the omitted works were submitted.

BEST RECORDING OF THE YEAR

TEMS – BURNING

SEYI VIBEZ – DIFFERENT PATTERN

BURNA BOY – HIGHER

AYRA STARR & GIVEON – LAST HEARTBREAK SONG

SARZ FEATURING LOJAY – BILLIONS

NOTABLE SNUBS: ASAKE‘Lonely At The Top’, ODUMODUBLVCK‘Blood On The Dance Floor’

Ahead of the awards predictions for this category favoured Asake‘s hit record ‘Lonely At The Top’ whose composition carries an imposing quality that made it the standout track from his sophomore album ‘Work Of Art’.

Also, OdumoduBlvck‘s ‘Blood On The Dance Floor’ is one of the most musically accomplished singles in the year in review and its omissions come as a surprise.

PRODUCER OF THE YEAR

SARZ – HAPPINESS

LONDON – OZEBA

MAGICSTICKS – BASQUIAT

REMA/PRODUCER X/CUBEATZ/DEATZ/KLIMPERBOY – HEHEHE

DIBS – DIFFERENT PATTERN

NOTABLE SNUBS: P.PRIIME, JAY SYNTHS, BLAISE BEATZ, KZITO

In the year in review, P.Priime had an emphatic run that included producing a bulk of Rema’s successful sophomore album ‘HEIS’. It comes as a shock that he couldn’t secure a spot among the nominees.

Jay Synths was the man behind Flavour‘s ‘Big Baller’ which earned two nominations including one for Song of the Year. He also produced one of the defining hits of 2023 in KCee’s ‘Ojapiano’. Many observers will find his omission puzzling.

Blaise Beatz produced one of the biggest hits of 2024 Kizz Daniel’s ‘Twe Twe’ whose beat richly explores Nigerian indigenous folk drums. However, this wasn’t enough for him to earn a nomination.

If musical accomplishment is a basis for nomination in this category, it’s also puzzling to see why KZITO wasn’t nominated for his contributions to Victony’s Album of the Year nominated project ‘Stubborn’ notable for the track ‘Pier 46’.
