Multi-talented musician Mayolee dazzles on new single 'Calm Down'

Mayolee produced Sinach's 'Way Maker' and aside from his remarkable production abilities, Mayolee is also a sensational singer-songwriter whose music carries the rich musicality of an artist vast and grounded in the art. 

On August 25, 2023, Mayolee released his latest single 'Calm Down' a mesmeric R&B record driven by captivating chords blended with Garage bounce. 

Mayolee lets the production do the heavy lifting as his vocals sit behind the beat in whispers while he lays enchanting melodies that capture his desires.

If 'Calm Down' offers a glimpse into his talent, listeners can enjoy the full spectrum of his 2022 album 'Awolowo' where he combines Afrobeat, R&B, Jazz, Folk, and Soul for a dazzling body of work.

In 'Desire' he lays melodies like a quintessential R&B star whose influences are the masters of the art. In 'Breath' he combines electronic elements with Funk while in 'Olatunji' and 'Eyo' he blends folk elements while interpolating the unmissable voice of bus conductors that are part of the identity of Lagos state. 

In 'Irawo' and 'Oduduwa', Mayolee uses horns to create an Afrobeat number that straddles the genius of Fela Kuti and Lagbaja. 

Not a lot of producers can make projects that highlight their remarkable feat. However, Mayolee is one talent who continues to show that production can someday take a front role in modern music.
