Afrobeats star, Olivetheboy, has released a new EP titled “Out of the Blue”, sending waves through the African music scene and beyond.
The project comes on the heels of a whirlwind year for the young Ghanaian artiste, who has quickly become one of the continent’s most talked-about talents.
The eight-track EP marks Olivetheboy’s follow-up to his successful “Avana” deluxe EP, which included his Telecel Ghana Music Awards “Most Popular Song” nominated ‘Asylum’.
“Out of the Blue” showcases Olivetheboy’s signature blend of Afrobeats, Soul, and contemporary Pop, with features from a selection of prominent African acts. Featured are Sarkodie on ‘Bend’, Mayorkun on ‘A Fuul’, Qing Madi on ‘Survivor’, Soundz on ‘Design’ and Veola on ‘Convo’.
Already, songs like ‘Bend’ and ‘Tattoo’ have taken over the conversation across social media.
Sources close to his management confirmed that the artiste is planning a tour across the UK, Europe, and the US in support of the project.
Currently, Olivetheboy, born Joel Ofori Bonsu, is signed to Columbia Records via Loop Music.
In 2023, he was the most-streamed Ghanaian artist, and in 2024, ‘Asylum’ was one of the most-streamed songs from Ghana.
