‘Angelina’, produced by the renowned Blaise Beatz, is a refreshing Afrobeats tune layered with heavenly harmonies, lush melodies, and warm instrumentation that perfectly complement the song’s theme of adoration and longing.

The new single comes off the back of a string of accolades for Drille. His ‘Before We Fall Asleep’ album earned him an AEUSA Award nomination for Album of the Year, while his viral hit How Are You My Friend (featuring Don Jazzy) became a fan favorite across streaming platforms and social media.

With over 15 Headies nominations to his name—including Best Vocal Performance (Male), Best R&B Song, and Best Alternative Song—Johnny Drille has consistently proven his prowess not only as a singer-songwriter but also as a top-tier producer and sound engineer. His technical brilliance earned him the Beatz Award for Producer of the Year, cementing his status as one of the most versatile talents in Nigerian music.

‘Angelina’ is a lyrical and sonic gem that sees both Johnny Drille and Fireboy at their romantic best—offering fans a tender, feel-good tune destined to dominate playlists and hearts alike.
