Lojay : That was one of the best parts about it. Was there any pressure or preconceived notions either of you had going into the session? I don’t think he realized my excitement, but it was an amazing experience. So I was just like, oh, he’s not feeling what he is doing, and so when I sent him the demos, I was like, I love them. JAE5 : What’s crazy is that as Lojay was in the studio doing those songs, I was excited because I thought the songs were amazing, but because he wasn’t feeling well, I couldn’t read him. We ended up doing some stuff, and then, afterward, he sent me back some of the demos, and from there, we just kept linking up in the studio and building on all the songs, which became this music we made. I remember the day of the session I was feeling sick, and, in my mind, I was thinking should I go or cancel? But I just decided to pick myself up and go to the session, and when I got there, JAE5 did his thing. My manager and JAE5’s team were in conversation, and we set up a session.
Lojay : It started as a normal reach-out. So, first things first, how did the two of you meet, and how did the creation of the song take place? With the release of the heartbreakingly beautiful music video, 1883 Magazine speaks to both JAE5 and Lojay from the UK and Nigeria via Zoom about everything from working together for the first time, how the song came together, the music video, and so much more. The three come together on this song which brings JAE5’s productions, and marries it well with the sounds of both Lojay and Libianca to create a heartbreakingly beautiful love song that reflects on the longing to have cherished and the desire for a second chance. With the release of her single People at the end of last year, the song has had 329M Spotify plays and a number of remixes that have tapped artists such as Ayra Starr, Omah Lay, and Becky G, to name a few. Libianca herself is also having her moment. Having had 74M Spotify streams, he is on a continuous streak, having released his latest project GANGSTER ROMANTIC earlier this year. And now he is back with his brand new single I Wish, which includes Nigerian rising star Lojay and Cameroonian-American breakout songstress Libianca.īoth of these come with a flavor of their own, Lojay being a moment within himself, with his 2021 breakout song Monalisa being the song of the summer two years running. Doing this again, Propeller tapped Dave and BNXN and continued his streak. The track gained 30M streams on Spotify and again displayed his talent and ability to bring together different artists and create something unexpected. Not to mention his ability to tap into various styles of music without losing his special touch.Ģ021 saw JAE5 stepping into a different space as he took his talents beyond the control board and released his debut single, Dimension, Tapping Skepta, and Rema. Having fused his Ghanaian roots and developed his production style over the years, he has crafted a sound synonymous with his name and established himself as a prominent name in the UK music scene.
The Ghanaian British producer has crafted a sound that has been prominent amongst artists from the likes of J Hus, Dave, Burna Boy, NSG, and Koffee to name a few. When you hear the tag JAE5 on a song very often, you know what you are expecting.
