Bnxn Leans into Emotion on “Laye Mi” Ahead of CAPTAIN

In anticipation of his sophomore studio album, set to arrive in a few days, Afro-fusion artist BNXN delivers a surprise drop: a brand-new lead single titled “Laye Mi”. It marks the fifth lead release, following previous tracks like “Phenomena”, “Fi Kan We Kan” featuring global star Rema, the emotive “Very Soon” with Fola, and “Cutesy”.

“Laye Mi” is a mid-tempo record where BNXN croons personal musings—mostly in pidgin—anchored by a Yoruba-driven hook. The track finds BNXN in a relatively emotive and vulnerable state, offering listeners an honest glimpse into his world, almost like a therapy session. He delivers these weighty emotions through sugary melodies that distract from the song’s lyrical heaviness. The catchy blend of shakers, groovy log drums, and bouncy percussion by Blaisebeatz adds to the record’s vibey nature.

Still, BNXN’s emotional weight seeps through the rhythms and melodies, expressing a resolve to live a happy, fulfilling life despite the rollercoaster journey—an outlook that explains the track’s upbeat direction.
