Here are the songs selected this week;

Justina Nnamani - Aesthetics

On afro-fusion, he's honest about the need for his lover.

She is confident that a lover is mindful enough to wait and calls him, "Bone of my bones, flesh of my flesh." This track takes you to otherworldly realms around 02:15.

LunaLovesYou featuring 44DB - What If

Everybody asks the question, "What if." It happens in times of doubt, but Luna asks this question in love. Sadly, the love is actually over as the bass riffs merges with percussion that is reminiscent of The Dream-Trick Stewart beats of the mid-late 2010s.

This is one of those songs that feel good anytime, anyday.

Rio might be new, but Cheeky is signed to DB Records and Wale Kwame recently released a song with Davido.

See, this is a bop.

Banke - Jeje

Banke is a talented singer and on the Afro & B track, she tells a love story - it's always a love story. The world needs love, no?

However, this one sees Banke extol her lover.
