Afrobeats sensation Olivetheboy has just released his highly anticipated new EP, Out of the Blue, making a powerful statement in the African music scene and catching the attention of global audiences.
The eight-track project follows a breakthrough year for the young Ghanaian star, Joel Ofori Bonsu, who has rapidly risen to become one of Africa’s most exciting musical exports. Out of the Blue arrives as the successor to his acclaimed Avana (Deluxe) EP, which featured the chart-topping and Telecel Ghana Music Awards-nominated single, ‘Asylum’.
With a genre-blending sound that fuses Afrobeats, Soul, and modern Pop, Out of the Blue showcases Olivetheboy’s evolving artistry and collaborative flair. The EP features heavyweight contributions from across the continent, including:
-
Sarkodie on the infectious opener ‘Bend’
-
Mayorkun on the high-energy track ‘A Fuul’
-
Qing Madi delivering soulful vocals on ‘Survivor’
-
Soundz adding flair to ‘Design’
-
Veola joining on the smooth and introspective ‘Convo’
Tracks like ‘Bend’ and ‘Tattoo’ are already sparking buzz on social media and streaming platforms, with fans praising Olivetheboy’s growth and fresh sonic direction.
Sources close to his team have confirmed plans for a global tour spanning the UK, Europe, and the United States to promote the EP.
Olivetheboy is currently signed to Columbia Records through Loop Music. After being crowned Ghana’s most-streamed artist in 2023, and with ‘Asylum’ ranking as one of the top-streamed tracks in 2024, Out of the Blue looks poised to push his stardom to new heights.
