Joeboy Says New Song “Alcohol” Transformed His Music Style

Fast-rising Nigerian singer, Joseph Samuel Akinfenwa aka Joeboy has explained that his latest single says “Alcohol”, is not meant to encourage alcoholism.

“Alcohol” was released in September. The song resulted in a social media challenge on popular app TikTok with participants drinking alcohol while lip-syncing to the song.

However, in a recent interview with Genius, Joeboy said he is not encouraging alcoholism in any way with the song.

“Being tipsy inspired ‘Alcohol’. There are different challenges in life; it never ends. There is always something one needs to fix or solve,” he said.

“I am not encouraging alcoholism in any way but I understand that people need breaks. However, trying to run away from one’s problems won’t fix them at the end of the day.”

Joeboy said the song is different from his typical sound, adding that it signifies his evolution as a singer.

“It is really special for me, seeing how big the song is becoming and how big it is going to get. It was a different step (direction) in my sound. It’s not like the regular Joeboy sound that people are used to,” he said.

“I am more or less known as a lover boy. I am not saying it’s a bad thing but I wanted to explore different sounds. Alcohol is the first step in evolving my sound.”

He also disclosed that he was nervous while recording the song because he was unsure of what people would say about it.

“I was a bit nervous before the song was released because I was not sure if people were going to accept it. It is totally different from what I normally do,” he said.

“The reception has been amazing so far. It is my biggest charting song since the beginning of my career.”
