Emerging Afrofusion Act, Oduwa, Releases Vibrant EP, ‘Inflection’

Arriving just in time for the holidays, the project showcases Oduwa’s sonic versatility, blending bouncy love anthems with sleek, contemporary Afropop.

Across five diverse tracks, including the singles ‘Wonderful’ and ‘Ovbialeke,’ the Benin City native showcases an expansive range, giving listeners much to look forward to as the new year approaches.

Following his introduction with earlier singles like ‘Sapa’ and ‘Make She Go’ featuring Magnito, Oduwa uses ‘INFLECTION’ to present a forward-facing collection that captures a shift in his approach and journey: an inflection point.

Across the five tracks, Oduwa alternates between soulful, sung vocals and rhythmic club-ready hooks, praising the beauty of love, resilience, and the hustle with a sound that is playlist and radio-ready.

Nigerian-born artist Oduwa draws from a rich blend of cultural and musical icons, including Show Dem Camp, Akon, P-Square, and Burna Boy. Oduwa’s sound merges playful sophistication with the flair of 2000s R&B-pop and the foundational grooves and melodies of Afropop.

Born in Benin City and now based in the United States, he creates music for Atlanta’s clubs and London’s summer motives, with each record presenting a celebration of joy, community, and shared moments.

In 2024, he released his debut EP, ‘Made for Love,’ which produced the sleeper hit ‘Found Love,’ which was followed by 2025’s ‘Son of Man’ EP.

With ‘INFLECTION’ closing out the year, Oduwa is signalling his intent for the coming months.
