Reekado Banks Returns with New Album -“The Game Needs You”

Reekado Banks has made a triumphant return to the spotlight with the release of his long-awaited sophomore album, “The Game Needs You,” marking a major moment in his career nearly ten years after his debut.

The 15-track album, released to widespread excitement, signals a bold new chapter for the award-winning Nigerian artist who first rose to fame under Mavin Records. Known for his melodic prowess and consistent chart dominance, Reekado uses this new project to reassert his place as a vital voice in the ever-evolving Afrobeats genre.

“The Game Needs You” is not just an album — it’s a powerful affirmation of resilience, maturity, and cultural relevance. Reekado blends introspective storytelling with vibrant production, showcasing his evolution as both a vocalist and songwriter. The project dives deep into relatable themes such as love, personal growth, ambition, and the hustle for success.

Featuring a lineup of dynamic collaborators, the album includes appearances by Nigerian heavyweights Phyno, Lil Kesh, Terry Apala, Skiibii, Winny, and Kashcoming, as well as previously released fan-favorites like “Mukutu” and “Glamorous” featuring Mayorkun. Each track offers a fresh layer of Reekado’s sound, fusing soulful melodies with danceable Afro rhythms to create a rich and immersive experience.

From the uplifting bounce of club anthems to slower, emotionally resonant cuts, the album is a genre-spanning collection that cements Reekado Banks not only as a hitmaker but as a storyteller tuned in to the pulse of the streets and the soul of his fans.

Adding to the momentum, Reekado is set to reconnect with fans live on stage for the first time in nearly a decade. He will headline his third-ever concert and his first in nine years in Abuja on July 18, 2025, under the banner: “Reekado Banks Live in Abuja.” The show is expected to be a homecoming of sorts, celebrating his journey and reaffirming his impact on Nigerian music.
