Olatop Ekula carries the whole load himself on “Chase,” a solo single with no guest act anywhere on the bill. He wrote and sang every part of it, so the credit line stays short.
The record is a fresh entry rather than a cut pulled from an album or EP. It leans on catchy melodies and an energetic delivery, with themes the average listener can relate to.
Nothing complicated here. The writing stays plain, and the singing carries it instead of forcing a message down anyone’s throat. That approach suits a song built for easy listening.
Ekula has kept a steady pace in the contemporary Nigerian space. His catalogue includes “Yara” and “Prophecy,” plus the 2024 EP “Hood Chronicles” and the 2023 album “Hope To The Trenches.” He also appeared on “Win Forever” alongside the Help Is On The Way project.
Going solo on this one makes sense, because the song lives or dies on his own pen. No featured voice means no shared spotlight, and no hiding behind another artist’s fanbase.
