Yemi Alade, the Afrobeats megastar, aided by the marvelous Teni comes through with this incredible track titled Away
The beat softens compared to “Minister of Enjoyment,” bassline warmer, percussion lighter, giving space to whatever’s being left behind. Nothing rushed about how this one moves.
Yemi Alade leads with quiet resolve, less commanding than usual, more reflective this time. Teni answers gently, adding warmth rather than urgency to what’s already been said.
Nothing dramatic happens by the end either. It just sits with the distance, unresolved, content staying exactly where it started.
Play “Away” when leaving needs to feel quiet instead of loud.
