“Mwah!” by Lojay & Odeal Blends London Soul with Lagos Heat in a Captivating Duet
Lojay and Odeal unveil “Mwah!”, a hypnotic Afro-R&B single celebrating intimacy, success, and cross-border artistry.
GRAMMY-nominated Nigerian artist Lojay partners with UK breakout star Odeal on “Mwah!” — a smooth, intoxicating Afro-R&B collaboration out now via all platforms. The single blends rich lyrical textures with mellow grooves, highlighting both artists’ signature styles.
A track about longing and intimacy, “Mwah!” finds its heartbeat in vivid lyricism. Lojay opens with “swing my way with your cinnamon fragrance,” before Odeal steps in with soulful precision, making the duo’s chemistry undeniable.
Lojay explains the creative spark behind the song:
“I had listened to Odeal’s music before meeting him… The chemistry was instant, and ‘Mwah!’ was the first song to come out of our first link-up.”
The collaboration follows a huge year for both artists. Odeal took home MOBO Awards for Best Newcomer and Best R&B/Soul Act, dropped two acclaimed EPs, and collaborated with Summer Walker. Lojay, meanwhile, performed for 100,000 fans over two days during Chris Brown’s sold-out South Africa dates and prepares for the release of his debut album later this year.
With “Mwah!”, the two artists create a masterclass in understated elegance and emotional storytelling. It’s not just a single — it’s a bold statement from two rising stars ready to define the next era of Afro-R&B.
