One minute, 40 seconds. That’s the exact mark in which “Goodvibes”, Akinfelay’s new single, goes from good to great—from a nice melody to something more weighty and transcendent. Singing over the synth-based beat with throbbing 808 drums, he ushers listeners to his atmospheric and surreal universe where only good vibes are allowed.

The first half of “Goodvibes” finds Akinfelay giving pseudo-romantic introspection. But as the bass drops and the beat takes a more drowsy dip—almost like someone leaned on the rewind and slow-mo button—his lyrics become more cocky and whimsical; “You Know I Got The Sauce/ I’m Chilling With The gods”.
