L.A.X keeps his Afrobeats run moving with a new record called “Bolonese,” a solo outing built around his voice. The Nigerian singer and songwriter has been steadily adding to his catalogue, and this one leans on melody rather than force.
There is no feature listed here, so nothing splits the attention. He carries the record alone. He also has a habit of blending Afrobeats and Afropop without pushing either sound too hard, and “Bolonese” follows that same path.
Smooth vocal delivery is the main selling point. He does not try to overpower the beat. Instead, the melodies do the heavy lifting, with his voice resting on top of the arrangement. Contemporary African rhythms and instrumental choices shape the backdrop throughout.
This is an easy record to sit with. It suits a slow evening or a long drive when you want something warm rather than loud. Anyone who follows Nigerian music closely should find the feel familiar.
