Lovn – SOUNDBENDER (Album)

Lovn has delivered his first album “SOUNDBENDER”, a nine-track Afrobeats project that marks a major step forward. The record runs for about 26 minutes and lands via Mavin Global Holdings Ltd. It also carries Afrobeats, Afrofusion, R&B and South African-influenced production. Yet Yoruba vocals, talking drums and familiar lyrical references keep the Nigerian core intact, so the arrangement never drifts too far from home. Lovn uses the project to test new sounds and influences across the tracklist. “SOUNDBENDER” also digs into the tension between closeness and independence, plus material survival and self-worth, according to Apple Music’s editorial description. For a young Nigerian artist, that range says plenty about where he wants to take his sound next. So the beat selection matters here, because each cut leans on a different rhythmic pocket.
