On the EP, the ‘Johnny’ crooner said that it guides fans through different moods, while also navigating between new genres with ease.

According to her, dancehall, highlife, and arobeats are all represented in her latest body of work.

“This new EP is special to me. Everyone will be able to resonate with different songs to put them in various moods, there is a song for every person on African Baddie.

“The vibe flows into one another and I am happy to take my audience on a musical journey with each song,” she said.
