Nigerian musical virtuoso Johnny Drille has joined forces with Afrobeats sensation Fireboy DML for a captivating new love anthem titled ‘Angelina’—a silky, soul-soothing blend of heartfelt lyrics and infectious rhythm that’s already setting the tone for a romantic 2025.
This collaboration marks Johnny Drille’s first release since his introspective EP Hard Guy Confessions, which featured industry heavyweight Don Jazzy. Known for his genre-defying style, Drille once again showcases his ability to merge rich storytelling with crisp production, and this time, he’s backed by the smooth, emotive vocals of Fireboy.
‘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.
Love is in the air, and ‘Angelina’ is its soundtrack.
