Timaya’s 2012 album, “Upgrade,” made a statement of his position as a Dancehall/Afro-Soca powerhouse in the Nigerian music industry. The album is a 14-track collection of high-energy, party-starting anthems that cater directly to the dance floor.
The album consists of high-energy, party-starting tracks built on thumping, rhythmic percussion. It goes in line with what is known as Timaya’s signature style, carefully mixing Nigerian street credibility with infectious Dancehall and Reggae influences.
“Upgrade” is a typical Timaya album, unapologetically rhythmic, lyrically simple, and undeniably effective as a collection of chart-topping, feel-good party records. It’s a testament to his ability to craft infectious hooks that resonate with a mass audience while still maintaining his style.
