Afrobeat singer, Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo popularly known as D’banj, has released a new album titled after four years of hiatus.
The iconic singer took to his Instagram page to post the album cover with the list of songs.
He featured notable stars like Burna Boy, Seun Kuti and others.
The Kokomaster as he is fondly called titled his album, “Stress Free”.
In his caption, the father of one spoke at length about how the project took two years to put together. He also revealed that he had planned to release the album last year on his birthday but he had to postpone it.
He said, “I’ve been told that you can’t live a Stressfree life without going through stress and that if only you hang in there you would move from the Stress into the free part and that’s why with joy in my heart .
“I’m Grateful to God and to Everyone that made this Album Come to life .
“I can’t thank you all enough . It took us more than 2 years or more to put this together and I know how hard and difficult it is Because I already planned the release of Stressfree for my birthday last year but the most stressful season in my life came unexpectedly but thank God for the grace to scale through and today finally it’s out .
“Stressfree chapter One is now out and I pray for you all that despite the Stress in the world. Everyone will get to live a Stressfree life . Pls enjoy the Album …. Stressfree chapter One.
Speaking on his collaboration with Seun Kuti, he said, “I went back to legacy – which is why I got Egypt 80 (led by Seun Kuti) on all seven tracks – and then eased into a realm of zero anxiety after the turbulent period that the world has been through.
“We had a lot of fun in the studio and hopefully, this all shows up on the record!
“I’m very happy to have Seun Kuti on this track #stressfree, this is actually the first time we are working on a song together and we made this magic over a year ago.
“He strikes me as the earthly lineage of the source of Afrobeat and I had to go to the very source to bring out this masterpiece.
“You really cannot separate the name Kuti from Afrobeats and Seun Kuti is known for his unapologetic approach to his craft bringing out the very best at every pitch. As you can see the horns are very very striking.”
