Nigerian street Afrobeats sensation Shallipopi is back with a witty and infectious new record titled “Allergies.”
Shallipopi has a way of making songs that sound simple on the surface but carry enough personality underneath to keep you coming back, and “Allergies” is another example of that quality. The Edo-born artist brings his signature energy to this one, and it works exactly the way you would expect it to.
The concept behind “Allergies” is clever. The song is based on the concept of being allergic to certain kinds of people, energy and situations and it plays out in a way that is fresh and entertaining, not reaching too hard for humor or depth. It just flows naturally.
Shallipopi – Allergies production
The production on “Allergies” is the kind of beat that does not give you time to think too much. It moves with a bounce that pulls you in early and keeps you there. There is enough street flavour in the instrumental to remind you exactly what kind of artist Shallipopi is while still feeling accessible enough for a wider audience.
The hook on “Allergies” is the kind that gets stuck in your head before the song even finishes the first time. Catchy, repeatable, and very Shallipopi – which is exactly what his fan base wants from him.
“Allergies” is another solid addition to what is already becoming a strong year for Shallipopi. If you have been following his rise, this one will not disappoint. Press play and catch the vibe.
