Nigerian singer and composer Samad has released “ELI ELI” featuring Boy Muller, a record fans have been waiting to hear. The song arrives as part of his debut EP, “SAMAD (Vol. 1),” a self-titled eight-track project that marks his first significant body of work. But the headline here belongs to the Boy Muller link-up, because it gives listeners a fresh voice alongside Samad.
The EP carries “ELI ELI” among its eight songs, alongside previously shared material like “GIRLS,” which features Jaido P and Lil Frosh. While “GIRLS” leaned on star power, “ELI ELI” takes a different route by putting Samad and Boy Muller in the same space. Fans who expected range from the project get it here, because the collection moves between sounds instead of repeating one formula.
For anyone new to him, Samad comes into view as a singer and composer building his name through this self-titled effort. “SAMAD (Vol. 1)” stands as his first major release, so the pressure to deliver was real. Yet the eight-track run suggests he treated it as a full statement rather than a quick drop.
Now the question is simple: does “ELI ELI” meet what you were expecting from Samad? Has the record earned a spot on your playlist yet? Drop your verdict in the comment section below.
