Nigerian Mavin Records artist Lovn brings fellow singer Ayanfe into his debut project “SOUNDBENDER” for “Over The Night,” track three off the nine-song album. This one stretches past four minutes, standing out since most of the album stays below three.
Lovn’s kept the momentum building since joining Mavin in 2025, and Ayanfe gives him a genuine vocal counterpart here, breaking up the project’s run of solo performances. Their combination carries a mix of West African sounds with a production style that gives the song its own distinct feel. Ayanfe’s already established catalogue gives the pairing extra reach into a wider audience beyond Lovn’s own following.
The production stays noticeably more spacious than the surrounding tracks, letting the collaboration breathe rather than rush through its runtime. Nothing here feels hurried or cramped. The extra room gives both voices real space to develop the record’s mood together.
Lovn leads with his familiar flexible vocal approach, moving between melodic passages and rhythm-led moments throughout. He sounds fully invested in exploring this fuller, more developed arrangement.
Ayanfe then adds a genuine second lead voice, complementing Lovn’s performance and giving the collaboration its own distinct character. Their combined chemistry has already earned real visibility through Apple Music’s Afrobeats selections. Together, they turn “Over The Night” into one of the album’s key collaborative moments.
“Over The Night” works because both artists commit fully to that spacious, dual-voice energy. The chemistry between them stays consistent across the extended runtime. It plays like a genuine standout within Lovn’s debut “SOUNDBENDER” project.
