Afropop star Yemi Alade has
released her sixth studio album, “Rebel Queen.”
A sonic journey through the heart of Africa with global influences, the album
is a celebration of individuality, femininity, and heritage.
“Rebel Queen” is a confluence of Alade’s
signature motivational lyrics and uplifting melodies. Collaborations with Angélique
Kidjo, Ziggy Marley, KiDi, Innoss’B, Femi One,
and Konshens enrich
the album’s diverse sound, blending traditional African rhythms with
contemporary beats. Tracks like “Ki Lo Wa Wa,” “Chairman,” “Carry Me,” and
“Baddie (Remix)” showcase Alade’s ability to seamlessly fuse different musical
styles.
From the anthemic “Tomorrow” to the empowering “I’m Sorry,” the album tackles
themes of hope, unity, and gender equality. With “Rebel Queen,” Yemi
confidently asserts her position as a global music icon while staying true to
her African roots. As she proudly proclaims on “Bop,” “I’m humble, but I’m not
down to earth.
