EMAJOR "BOLO"

For listeners who have not yet been introduced to the pulse-inspiring vibe in the Afrobeat fusion of Nigerian American artist E’MAJOR, his new release “Bolo” will dance his music into their consciousness.

“Bolo,” dropping September 20, is an upbeat track with a low-key, repetitive keyboard melody behind forceful, changeable beats carried by a variety of instruments. It can make you dance in your chair.

“‘Bolo’ is danceable music that just gets you to — you know — just dance,” he said. “It gets you to the right mood, it gets into your head.”

That is exactly what it’s intended to do, what it does, which is get into your head. The title, “Bolo,” is Nigerian slang for the brain.

“In this case, it’s talking about a girl who pleases you, makes you feel good. It’s really sweet words, telling someone that you love — your wife, your girl — that whatever she’s doing, how she’s looking or how sexy, she’s making your head go crazy.”
