Following the release of his latest studio album, Nigerian music sensation Fireboy DML has spoken about his experience working with other musicians on “Adedamola.”

Adedamola has duets with numerous music heavyweights, including Lojay, Lagbaja, Seun Kuti, DJ Spinall, and American singer Jon Batiste.

In a recent interview, Fireboy said that he is currently working on a collaboration Extended Play with Lojay, describing their working relationship as “great.”

“I’m working on a joint EP with Lojay. We have a very great relationship in the studio,” he shared during the interview.

The album, which has received favorable reviews, currently leads the majority of Nigeria’s music charts. The collaborations with Lojay and Lagbaja have had people talking, with many asking how the YBNL musician was able to land such features.

Fireboy DML also discussed his studio experience with the famed Nigerian musician Lagbaja, calling him the most meticulous artist he has ever worked with.

Fireboy teamed with Lagbaja on the song ‘Back N Forth.’ After a long absence, Lagbaja returns to the music world with this feature. Despite the extended studio sessions, Lagbaja maintained his signature veiled demeanor.

“It means a lot to me getting a legend like Lagbaja on that record, in [the] time that we are in now,” Fireboy told Nandi Madida of Apple Music 1.

“You would not believe this: Lagbaja was masked in the studio. It was crazy—I did not get to see his face. I had a few interesting thoughts; I wanted to ask him if I could see his face! But you know, all that matters is that we made the music. That’s what makes Lagbaja, Lagbaja,” he said.

“Lagbaja is the most meticulous artiste I ever worked with. I wished he had taken his mask off but he wore it all through our time in the studio. I learnt a lot from him during the session,” Fireboy revealed.
