According to The FADER, the EP ‘anchors floating, sticky melodies with the kind of buoyant percussion and gut-wrenching bass that’ll make you buss a wine wherever you are. The opening track in particular, ‘Plenty Plenty,’ sounds like a frozen drink gripped tight at an outdoor party. The project gets its title from the Yoruba word for ‘hope’—a sentiment you can hear all over the final song ‘Ireti’, a triumphant power ballad done Naija-style’.

Speaking exclusively to The FADER, Moelogo said, ‘This Ìréti EP is all about hope—having faith, not believing in failure and just having a positive outlook on life, despite whatever reality you’re faced with. This EP really means a lot to me; I hope it shows the growth in my artistry, and maturity as a man representing my British culture and African heritage’.
