Joeboy Set To Release First Single Of 2023

After an underwhelming 2022, with his singles underperforming, Joeboy is set to hit the ground running in 2023 with the impending release of his single ‘Body & Soul’. The Afro-pop record is a love tune produced by E-Kelly and Joeboy will be hoping to add it to his collections of hit love songs.

Joeboy recently stated via his Twitter that he’s heads and shoulders above his contemporaries when it comes to love songs. With his upcoming release, he will seek further proof of his claim.

Joseph Akinwale, known professionally as Joeboy, is a Nigerian singer and songwriter, signed under Mr Eazi’s record label, emPawa Africa. Joeboy’s first single “Baby” was released on March 1, 2019; it garnered 20 million streams across YouTube and Spotify in 2019. The visualizer music video for “Baby” surpassed 31 million views on YouTube.

Recall that in October 2022, Asa issued a copyright infringement notice to Joeboy, over his recently-released song, “Contour”, over claims that the composition of the song was originally recorded by her and the producer of the song “Tempoe”, earlier in September 2020 during a recording session.

Through her legal counsel, Asa made a notice to Joeboy via mail, which was shared by Joeboy on his Instagram story on 3rd October 2022, revealing that Asa demanded the sum of N300 million and gave a 24-hour ultimatum for the song to be removed from all digital streaming platforms. Asa through her management also asked for a 60 per cent publishing split on the song, and a written apology, as seen in the notice.

After establishing himself as one of Afrobeats’ hitmakers, Joeboy has continued to dazzle listeners with his chart-topping music that has taken his fame beyond the shores of Nigeria.

‘Body & Soul’ is set for release on January 20, 2023, and it will be one of the lead-up singles to Joeboy’s upcoming sophomore album.
