Mavo links up with P.Priime for “Use Me,” one of the standout cuts on his debut album “Business.”
He’s honest on this one, admitting he’s not even sure how he feels, but he’d still keep her around for as long as she’ll put up with him. That kind of confession gives the song a different energy than the more confident tracks on the album. P.Priime jumping on this one adds real weight too, his name alone carries a lot in Nigerian music right now.
The beat mixes Afrobeats and Afro-fusion, running through rhythmic percussion, soft piano chords, groovy bass and guitar work that ties it all together. Nothing here feels rushed, everything just sits in its own space. That polish gives it an easy, relaxed feel from beginning to end.
Mavo sounds smooth on this one, leaning more into vulnerability than his usual swagger. He’s not pretending to have it all figured out, and that honesty comes through in how he delivers every line. It’s a different side of him compared to some of his flashier singles.
You can tell the chemistry between him and P.Priime is real, not just two names slapped on a credit list. Their combined touch makes this one of the more engaging collabs on the whole album. That partnership is basically why the song works as well as it does.
“Use Me” hits because it doesn’t pretend everything’s clear-cut. It just sits in that messy, honest space instead. That’s exactly what makes it one of the better moments on “Business.”
