At a moment when Afropop’s global expansion feels louder and faster than ever, BoiGizmo is choosing something rarer: intention. With the release of his debut EP GIZMODE, the Abuja raised singer-songwriter delivers a project that doesn’t chase trends or overextend itself. Instead, it moves with clarity, precise, melodic, and self-assured.
Signed to Hitmode Music, BoiGizmo first caught wider attention in 2024 with “Ifeoma,” a breakout that introduced listeners to his emotive tone and conversational writing style. But GIZMODE isn’t built on momentum alone. It’s structured. It’s deliberate. And most importantly, it sounds like an artist who understands exactly who he is even this early in his career.
Across five tracks “My Lady,” “Come Over,” “For Me,” “Fefe Ne Fe,” and “Kill My Vibe” BoiGizmo refines a sonic identity rooted in melody and mood. The production leans into warm Afrobeats percussion, subtle bounce, and uncluttered arrangements that allow his voice to remain front and center. Nothing feels excessive. Every choice feels considered.
Opening track “My Lady” sets the tone with restrained vulnerability. There’s softness in the delivery, but never weakness just emotional transparency carried by smooth phrasing and a controlled cadence. “Come Over” builds on that intimacy, pairing rhythmic ease with lyrical directness. It’s the kind of record that feels personal without being overly sentimental accessible yet still grounded in authenticity. “For Me” sharpens the project’s emotional focus, offering reassurance wrapped in understated confidence. Here, BoiGizmo leans fully into his strength: tone. His voice doesn’t fight the production; it glides through it. The melodies are clean, memorable, and intentional engineered for replay without sounding formulaic. “Fefe Ne Fe” injects playful energy into the EP’s midsection, expanding its emotional palette. It’s catchy, culturally resonant, and rhythmically infectious a reminder that BoiGizmo understands balance. He can flirt with feel-good moments without losing artistic cohesion. Closing track “Kill My Vibe” introduces subtle edge.
There is a sharper emotional texture here a glimpse into deeper vulnerability and complexity. It rounds out the EP by hinting at range beyond romance and lighthearted charm, suggesting layers still waiting to unfold. The strength of GIZMODE lies in its discipline. In an era where debut projects are often overcrowded with features and sonic experiments, BoiGizmo resists the urge to overstate.
