Fast-rising Afro-pop artist Obacino has marked his energetic return to the music scene with the release of his vibrant new single, titled 'Like To Party.' The track, which debuted on 22 November 2025, serves as a pulsating Afro-fusion bop designed to get listeners moving.
The Sound and Spirit of 'Like To Party'
In this latest offering, Obacino delivers catchy lyrics with an exciting vocal performance that fully captures a celebratory moment. The song's core message is a simple yet powerful mantra: celebrate life. With lines like "We dey jaiye/ And the money plenty/ 6-7 girls dem dey the apartey/ Dem fi no/," the artist crafts a unique soundscape.
He seamlessly blends a reggaeton-inspired patois and flow with the familiar cadence of Nigerian pop music. This fusion results in what can best be described as a dance-heavy delight, effortlessly easing listeners into a party mood.
Inspiration and Artistic Journey
Speaking on the inspiration behind the track, Obacino revealed that the song came to him naturally. "At the time we made the song, I didn't even know what to expect. The song is about resilience. If you have that confidence that 'I'm going to do this,' and when you do it, it's refreshing, that kind of feeling. That's cause to celebrate," the singer commented.
Obacino's musical roots are deeply embedded in diverse influences. His career began in the early 2000s, shaped by early exposure to Fuji and Christian gospel music. Before fully committing to a life of studio recordings and live performances, he had a brief stint as an event host.
Defining the 'Original Badman Sound'
The artist describes his musical style, and the title of his forthcoming album, as the "Original Badman Sound." As a self-proclaimed pop hedonist, Obacino creates music that draws from a wide range of influences, aiming to unite listeners across borders with his unique fusions.
His current event series, #Ain’tNoPartyLikeACinoParty, which features a string of rooftop raves, has further highlighted his potential as a dynamic entertainer. This initiative underscores his status as a rising pop star worth watching in the competitive Nigerian music industry.
Offering a word of encouragement that mirrors his song's theme, Obacino quips, "Anything you put your mind to, you definitely can do it." He assures his growing fanbase that he is in the industry for the long haul and is here to stay.
The vibrant single 'Like To Party' is now available for streaming on all major digital music platforms.
