‘Olufunmi Reimagined’ pays tribute to the original timeless essence while infusing it with infectious contemporary Afrobeat sounds. Afrobeats pioneer ID Cabasa masterfully blends the nostalgic melodies of Styl-Plus with modern rhythms and innovative production, creating a bridge between generations.
The single was released on May 24, 2024, and sees a new production from ID Cabasa with verses from Fireboy, rapper Odumodublvck, Boj, and Joeboy. The reimagination retains the original chorus from 2006 hit single off Styl Plus’ critically and commercially acclaimed debut album ‘Expressions’.
The single also comes with a music video shot by Nigerian famous cinematographer Clarence Peters. The video borrows inspiration from the original with Fireboy, Joeboy, Boj, and Odumodublvck all vying for the attention of the same woman who eventually choose ID Cabasa.
