Chinedu, also known as Ahubalezeama, has released a new single titled “Otito” under Bravo Entertainment, and the record is already picking up airplay. The song carries a secular/gospel feel, but its real pull sits in how the arrangement blends Igbo tradition with modern African music.
The beat does the heavy lifting here. Traditional rhythms run underneath, while the production keeps things clean enough for radio. “Otito” also earns its place as a praise song, so the sound leans warm rather than loud.
Chinedu is a Bravo Entertainment frontline act, and his catalogue includes “IGBO,” “Party Time,” and “Nwadimma,” plus the 2024 album “THIS LIFE.” His style draws from Highlife, Afrobeats, Afro-pop, R&B, and reggae, so expect a record that moves between those lanes without losing its footing.
Choosing a gospel-leaning sound for “Otito” is a measured move. It lets him reach listeners who want something uplifting, while the Igbo elements keep the song rooted. That mix should open doors beyond his usual audience.
