This announcement has met with excitement and paved way for the return of one of the Nigerian music scene’s most prolific singers, for one of the many attributes he is known for is his banger dishing out capabilities, and bringing new life to songs on their remixes, a case in point; Iyanya’s “One Side” Remix and “Sugar” by Camidoh and Phantom, on whom he delivered a memorable verse on each.
“Still The Mayor” follows the ‘Let Me Know’ singer’s critically acclaimed “Back In Office” (2021), an album that cemented Mayorkun’s position as a leading force in Nigerian Afropop. “Back In Office” showcased his ability to craft infectious melodies and deliver compelling performances, solidifying his reputation as a hitmaker. Now, the music community is abuzz with speculation about the direction and evolution of his sound in this new project.

The title itself, “Still The Mayor,” suggests a confident assertion of his continued relevance and mastery. Fans are anticipating a matured sound, one that retains his signature blend of catchy tunes while potentially incorporating fresh influences and themes.
The anticipation surrounding “Still The Mayor” is a testament to Mayorkun’s enduring appeal and his impact on the Nigerian music scene. As the release date draws closer, the industry and fans alike are poised to witness the next chapter in Mayorkun’s musical journey, eager to see how he will continue to solidify his reign, whether it be because of the features on the album, or even the set of producers he will work, one thing is for sure, MAYORKUN is coming!
