Grammy-nominated BNXN teams up with Asake for their first-ever official collaboration, “Eja Meja,” out now via Empire.
This one has been on fans’ wish lists for a while. Both artists run in the same Afrobeats circle, but they never formally linked on record – until now. So when BNXN teased the visualiser clip on social media just days before the drop, the reaction was instant. People already knew this was going to be something worth paying attention to.
The production opens with warm, jazz-infused saxophone. Then it unfolds into rich percussion and a hypnotic mid-tempo groove. That intro alone sets a different tone from most singles dropping in this space right now. Because “Eja Meja” is not chasing a dancefloor moment. It is building a feeling – one rooted in gratitude and celebrating what hard work actually delivers.
BNXN’s melodic delivery anchors the song’s emotional core. But Asake’s commanding energy lifts the second half and gives the record a confident bounce it needs. The two voices do not sound like they are competing. Instead, they move like artists who already understood the assignment before they got in the studio.
The visualiser also deserves a mention. Sleek styling, vintage aesthetics, and an intimate dinner setting – it matches the song’s understated confidence without overdoing the luxury angle.
BNXN has described “Eja Meja” as a reminder to enjoy life and stay present. As a first chapter signalling his next project era, it lands exactly the way a table-setting single should.
