Talented Nigerian musician, Jeff Akoh, continues to be an oasis for music rooted in experimentation and groovy elegance. Close to six years after the release of his highly-regarded debut album, Lokoja, the singer is set to ring in a new era in his career with the release of a new single, “OverDo,” in collaboration with prominent DJ and tastemaker, DJ Kev. Coming on the back of well-regarded releases like 2020’s “Stay With Me” with Spyro, “Better Thing” with Peruzzi, and last year’s “Yawa,” “OverDo” is a balmy mid-tempo dedication to a love interest that sees Jeff Akoh pour out his emotions over a spectral instrumental that is attuned to his lithe voice.
Speaking of the inspiration for the single, Jeff Akoh said, “This song represents a new phase for me because it’s a new start for me after life happened for a while. The way I see it, “OverDo” is going to be a rediscovery of the expression of Jeff Akoh for many people because I’ve found myself anew through doing what I love to do and being able to pour my heart out as I want to”
Continuing, DJ Kev, who has been a friend and creative partner to Jeff for over three years, also said: “I’ve always considered Jeff one of the most talented musicians I know and the opportunity for us to collaborate was one that we were simply not going to pass up. I think “OverDO” has all the potential to become the quintessential song about romantic expression and just help people process how they feel about that emotion.”
“OverDo” was jointly written by a team of Jeff and DJ Kev and is rooted in the vivid, languid style that has helped build the reputation of Jeff Akoh as one of Nigeria’s most preternaturally-gifted composers and songwriters.
