Street-pop act Bhadboi OML kicks off 2026 with a sharp new single titled “Orindowo,” pulling in Marlian Music president Naira Marley for the ride.
This one had been building quietly on TikTok before it officially dropped, with the hook “Athewo eda, athewo eda” already circulating from studio clips Bhadboi OML shared during recording. Coming off his “Kaizen” EP and a recent feature on Balloranking’s project, the timing feels right. He needed a statement single, and linking with Naira Marley for it was a smart move.
The production packs pulsating percussion under a melodic groove that hits somewhere between street-pop and classic Afrobeats. That “Should I press the button?” catchphrase runs through the record like a running joke that somehow never gets old. The beat is easy to nod to but has enough bite underneath to keep it off your typical feel-good playlist.
Bhadboi OML opens up talking about something “deep and personal, confidential,” then pivots into buying Hermes bags and G-Wagons for a girl named Aisha. That shift from vulnerability to bravado in the same breath is exactly what makes his writing interesting. Naira Marley jumps in with his signature loose, slang-heavy delivery, and the contrast between both styles is what gives the record its personality.
“Orindowo” lands differently because neither artist sounds like they’re trying too hard to impress the other. It just flows.
