Joeboy is set to release a new EP titled ‘Body, Soul, and Spirit’.
Afro pop singer Joseph Akinwale, alias Joeboy released his single on November 3, 2023 titled only God can save me. It’s only been five months since the release of his critically acclaimed sophomore album ‘Body & Soul’ which helped him break past three billion total streams, but the award winning artiste and Nigerian pop star Joeboy is not resting on his laurels, and is ready to express himself via his songs again.
Alongside the global sensation is thrilled to announce the forthcoming release of his sophomore EP and second project of 2023 titled ‘Body, Soul & Spirit’, set to drop on November 17, 2023 via emPawa Africa.
As the title suggests, Joeboy’s ‘Body, Soul & Spirit’ EP is picking up exactly where he left off on his Body & Soul album, with the upcoming EP serving as the perfect antithesis to the recently released album.
Feeding off the emotional undertones of the last song on the Body & Soul album, ‘Halle’, where he is troubled, unhappy, and looking to God and family for succour, Joeboy carries forward this introspection with the new EP’s lead single ‘Only God Can Save Me’.
Produced by Debo.x, this heartfelt track is an embodiment of the age-old saying, ‘Let go and let God’. Over moody synths, dark piano arrangements, and looming drum patterns, Joeboy delves deep into the realization that humans are fallible and can often leave us disappointed.
When those around him were nowhere to be found, Joeboy turned to a higher power for solace and guidance, emphasizing that ‘Only God Can Save Me’.
Originating from a place of raw vulnerability, ‘Only God Can Save Me’ paints a vivid picture of Joeboy’s revelations about the transient nature of human relationships and the undeniable essence of divine intervention.
During a period that challenged his perspectives and beliefs, Joeboy captures the feeling of desolation that many experience, emphasizing that in moments of true despair, one might find solace only in the Divine.
In its moody, yet poignant tone, ‘Only God Can Save Me’ opens the thematic tapestry of the ‘Body, Soul & Spirit’ EP seamlessly.
The solitude Joeboy experienced while crafting this song – just him, a mic, and a pen, adds a layer of authenticity, making it an evocative piece that resonates deeply with listeners.
Through this single, Joeboy offers a window into his journey navigating an emotionally charged phase, standing as a cornerstone for the entire EP’s narrative.
