With Fireboy DML’s debut album, ‘Laughter Tears and Goosebumps’, it became abundantly clear that he’s here to stay. With incredible vocal range and a dexterous pen, we were presented with a modern classic to which he’s followed up today with his sophomore album, ‘Apollo’.

In addition to the pre-relased “New York City Girl”, “ELI” and “Tattoo“, we have 14 new songs where Fireboy shows off his ability. Upon first listen, ‘Apollo’ is another album you can listen to with no skips. Fireboy is self-assured on brag-filled tracks like the intro track,  “Champ”, “Lifestyle” and the Olamide-assisted “Afar”, whilst maintaining his lover boy stance on others such as “Shadé”, “Dreamer” and “Tattoo”. He’s also given us party-ready tracks; “Friday Feeling” and the Wande Coal-assisted “Spell”, however, it’s on the disco-inspired “Favourite Song” and the pensive “Airplane Mode” he gives his best.

Earlier on in the year when we spoke to the rising star, he told us that this project is going to be what seals his position in the game and it’s fair to say it has.
