Nigerian artist L.A.X is set to drop his new album “The Only Lover Boy Left (TOLBL)” on November 6, a 12-track project. The guest list is lean but purposeful. Olamide shows up on “Belinda,” while TML Vibez handles “MAGAA.”
JaQi appears on “Owa,” and DOTTi The Deity joins for “IYAWO.” That last track arrived in late October as the album’s first preview. So listeners already have an early taste of the sound. The record opens with “Morenike” and closes on “FINE WINE,” with cuts like “Saint Tropez,” “Arewa,” and “First Lady” sitting in between.
What stands out is the structure. L.A.X is not crowding the album with features or chasing every available collaborator. He is picking specific voices for specific moments instead. Each guest serves the song rather than the other way around. That approach fits an artist who has spent years building a catalog on his own terms.
