New Music to Kickstart Your Week From Victony, Timaya, Duncan Mighty, Mr Eazi & Fave.

A new week often comes with a fresh set of songs to explore, and this latest lineup of releases offers a mix of sounds for different listening moods. From polished Afrobeats to highlife-inspired melodies and a cross-Caribbean collaboration, these records bring together familiar voices and distinct musical approaches.

Whether you’re updating your playlist for the morning commute or looking for something new to play during the day, these four songs are worth checking out.

Victony – “Slick”

Victony opens the list with “Slick”, a concise single that leans into the melodic style he has become known for. Released on July 8, the record blends soft percussion with a laid-back rhythm, allowing his vocals to remain the focal point. Despite its brief runtime of under two minutes, “Slick” packs enough melody and replay value to leave a lasting impression.

Another notable release this week is “Kontrol”, a collaboration between Timaya and Duncan Mighty. The collaboration brings together two artists whose careers have long been associated with the musical traditions of Nigeria’s South-South region. The song draws from highlife and Afrobeats, with live-sounding instrumentation and melodies that reflect both artists’ musical backgrounds. Rather than competing for attention, Timaya and Duncan Mighty complement each other throughout the record, resulting in a performance that feels balanced and natural.

Mr Eazi takes a different route on “Lambo”, featuring Jamaican dancehall icon Vybz Kartel alongside producer Dre Skull. The collaboration brings together Afrobeats and dancehall without forcing either style to dominate the other. Mr Eazi keeps his trademark relaxed delivery, while Vybz Kartel adds a contrasting energy that gives the track another dimension. Dre Skull’s production ties the different influences together, making the record one of the week’s more internationally connected releases.

Fave feat. Chike – “Miss You”

For listeners who prefer slower, emotionally driven music, “Miss You” by Fave featuring Chike offers a different experience. Lifted from Fave’s 2026 EP RNBLING, the song centres on longing and emotional distance, themes both singers have explored throughout their careers. Their voices blend smoothly over restrained production, allowing the lyrics and melodies to carry the weight of the record. Chike’s contribution adds depth without overshadowing Fave, making the collaboration feel well matched from beginning to end.
