Namenj – First Wave EP, 2025
Northern Nigeria’s soulful voice, Namenj returns with a refreshing body of work titled “First Wave EP” a carefully crafted 5 track project that blends his signature Hausa vocals with smooth Afro-fusion melodies.
Following the success of his 2021 debut album The North Star, First Wave feels like a fresh restart. The EP shows Namenj in a more refined light, confident, emotional, and fully in control of his unique style. Every track on the project reflects his growth, not just as a singer, but as a storyteller.
From start to finish, Namenj delivers heartfelt lyrics layered over mid tempo beats and acoustic-driven instrumentals. He doesn’t rely on excessive production or trendy sounds, instead, he sticks to what makes him special: pure emotion, simplicity, and cultural pride. Whether he’s singing about love, longing, or self-reflection, Namenj makes it relatable.
The First Wave EP carries strong Northern identity, from language to sound, but also opens the door to new audiences across Nigeria and beyond. This balance makes it an important step forward not just for Namenj, but for Hausa music on a broader scale.
For fans of gentle love songs and authentic Northern vibes, First Wave EP is a must-listen. Namenj continues to prove that Hausa music has a powerful place in modern Afrobeats — and with this project, he’s only just getting started.
