Off The Record is a focused, seven-track project released four years after his debut album. The EP sees the artist embracing a more mature and introspective style, blending contemporary Afrofusion with elements of highlife and amapiano.
Featuring collaborations with prominent artists like Tiwa Savage on “Speak To Me” and Harmonize on “Mama,” the project aims to bridge personal commentary with global pop appeal. Key tracks like “You Dey Mad” provided timely social commentary, reflecting the turbulent period of its release.
While some critics found the production safe compared to evolving Afrobeats trends, the EP successfully solidified Banks’ independence and displayed his consistent knack for melody and smoother vocal delivery.
