Oxlade is back—and he’s not just revisiting his debut, he’s redefining it. The Afrobeats superstar has officially released the Deluxe edition of his chart-topping debut album, Oxlade From Africa, and it’s nothing short of a sonic evolution.
With four brand-new tracks added to the already-celebrated project, Oxlade delivers more than a repackage—it’s a full-blown reintroduction.
Leading the new wave is “Doingz,” a vibrant, percussion-laced banger produced by Egar Boi. The track is laced with swagger and groove, the kind of confident energy that makes it an instant crowd favorite. It’s Oxlade at his most playful, yet most commanding.
But the deluxe doesn’t stop at hype—there’s depth, romance, and reflection woven through every new addition. “Omalicha” (produced by Mikey Muzik & Freshy) is a smooth, sweet ride through romantic confessions, layered over an irresistible bounce. “Sho Mi,” courtesy of Duktor Sett, taps into a gospel-tinged moment of gratitude and divine awareness, while “Vanity” (produced by Magicsticks) hits an emotional peak—a raw tribute to Oxlade’s late grandmother, echoing themes of legacy, humility, and love.
The expanded project showcases Oxlade’s continued growth as not just a vocalist, but a sonic architect—someone who understands how to build a full experience, not just a playlist of bangers. He’s evolving in real-time, and he’s letting us in on the process.
Speaking on the deluxe, Oxlade shared:
“I want everyone to go back to the drawing board, connect with their oxygen, and just enjoy this while my sophomore project is in the works. I want my fans to feel my love through this project, to know that the old Oxy isn’t coming back. I’m growing, I’m evolving, just like they are, and I want them to grow with me.”
Following the massive success of his 2024 debut—the second most-streamed Nigerian album of the year—and a sold-out 40-city global tour, Oxlade has firmly secured his spot on the world stage. Tracks like “Ku Lo Sa” continue to rack up global certifications, and with this deluxe drop, he’s keeping the momentum alive while hinting at something even bigger on the horizon.
If this is the warm-up for his sophomore album, consider the bar officially raised.
