Joey Jaey unveils 'My Life', a soulful anthem of love, vulnerability, and brilliance
In a world where Afrobeats is global currency and Alte is rewriting the rules of expression, Nigerian-Canadian artist Joey Jaey returns with 'My Life', a record that captures the dangerous beauty of love, intoxicating, tender, and devastatingly human.
'My Life' is not just a song. It’s an emotional thesis. Anchored in Joey’s emotive vocal range and laced with lush Afrobeats percussion, the track narrates a man’s surrender to love so intense it borders on survival: "Shebi you wan take my life o / Baby you wan take my life…"
The lyrics don’t just echo affection; they confess obsession, a paradox of love as both sanctuary and risk.
Produced by NakedBeatz and released under Joey Jaey Recordz, the single is Joey at his most unfiltered: merging Afrobeats, Alte sensibilities, and pop melodies into a record that speaks to lovers everywhere.
A stunning music video, premiering two weeks after release, promises to extend this intimacy into vivid, cinematic storytelling.
From Delta State, Nigeria, to downtown Toronto, Joey Jaey’s journey has never been linear.
A lawyer turned human rights advocate, turned award-winning musician, his story is an atlas of reinvention.
His debut album, Naija to the 6ix, announced his boundaryless sound, while the amapiano-infused Orekelewa won accolades in Cuba, securing him a reputation as an artist whose music transcends geography.
With 'My Life' as the lead single from his sophomore album 'My Life', Joey is less concerned about trends and more obsessed with legacy, crafting songs that carry the soul of Africa while speaking in the universal language of vulnerability.
His music is designed for work, for reflection, for parties, and for love, but always, for truth.
