Nigerian Afrobeats singer and songwriter Berri-Tiga keeps his run going with a new single, “Motion.”
The record is built around catchy melodies and a lively street-pop feel. It arrives as another addition to his growing catalogue of melodic Afrobeats material. Real name Agada Obotu, he has been steadily working on his craft as a recording artist, writing and singing over contemporary Nigerian sounds.
On “Motion,” his expressive vocals sit on top of engaging instrumental arrangements. He blends Afrobeats with energetic street-pop influences, and the result moves at a quick, dance-friendly pace. It is the kind of record that fits different listening moments, from a playlist in the house to a loud speaker outside.
His name reached a wider audience through “Machala,” the hit record with Carter Efe. That song put his vocal talent in front of many listeners for the first time. Since then, he has continued building a reputation for catchy melodies and solid songwriting, while also collaborating with other artists in the scene.
“Motion” makes sense as a next step. It leans on the street-pop energy that suits his voice, and it keeps him visible while he builds on the attention “Machala” brought.
