With luxe licks that gravitate right towards your soul and beats that fire up the rhythmic pulses within a seraphically tropic production, Obeena went beyond ticking all the right Afrobeat pop boxes with All the Way. The Nigerian-born, UK-based artist known as Afro-Remedy is revered for his ability to command culture through rhythm. In All the Way, he brings his signature fusion of traditional African grooves and modern production to a fever pitch of feel-good ecstasy that reverberates with pure spirit.
When you consider his smoother-than-any-metaphor-could-possibly-allude-to vocals, it’s clear he’s got what it takes to rise all the way to the top without friction. The single transcends the typical pop-tinged euphoria and taps into something deeper — something medicinal. With melodies that hit as much as they heal and tones that simmer as much as they soothe, Obeena has contemporary Afro fusion down to a fine art.
All the Way resonates on an atomic level; it’s a voltage surge of vibes, delivered through each carefully crafted cadence and sun-kissed melodic loop.
With a touring history that’s lit up stages from Brixton to Luton to Barking and a spot on Fido’s Live in Luton tour, Obeena is already spreading sonic remedy across the UK. Consider a ticket to his shows as a perscription of naturally derived serotonin.
All the Way is now available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify.
