Rema has dropped “Holiday” and “Reason You,” a double-sided single, marks his first solo release since his debut album Rave & Roses in 2022. “Holiday” reflecting on his struggles and the sacrifices he has made in his life – from Benin City to his debut EP in 2019 – highlighting his self-belief despite doubts, criticism and rejection. On the flip, Rema transports the listener through his meditative vocals on “Reason You,” a song dedicated to one particular individual who has caught his eye. His two sold-out Brixton shows in London boasted surprise appearances from Skepta, Dave and Fireboy DML, to name a few, with Rema’s high-energy performance impressing critics.

Championed by Barack Obama,  Rema is paving the way for his generation with his mission statement of taking Afrobeats around the globe being central to everything he does. To some, his success may appear to be overnight but his musical journey began as a young teen in the church. Rema, aka Divine Ikubor, was born and bred in Benin City and has risen to mainstream consciousness with his unmatched vocals, fusion of genres & ease at being unapologetically himself.
