Olamide’s eighth studio album, “Carpe Diem”, was released on October 8, 2020, through YBNL Nation and Empire Distribution. This 12-track project marked a significant shift towards a melodic Afropop sound, moving away from his earlier, predominantly street-hop style. This sound is shaped by a team of prominent producers, including Young John, Pheelz, P. Priime, ID Cabasa, and VStix.
The project is rich with collaborations featuring some of Afrobeats’ most respected talents. Among the standout tracks is the hit single “Infinity” with Omah Lay. Other notable features include Phyno on “Shilalo,” Fireboy DML on “Plenty” and Peruzzi on “Unconditionally”. The album also boasts contributions from rising stars, with Bella Shmurda appearing on “Triumphant” while Bad Boy Timz features on the viral sensation “Loading.” This collaborative effort results in a polished project that blends diverse voices with Olamide’s distinct style, showcasing his versatility as an artist.
