Solidstar Returns with Highly Anticipated Fourth Album ‘Melomania’

After a hiatus that left fans yearning, the iconic Delta-born singer Solidstar, renowned for his timeless hits like “One in a Million,” has officially made his triumphant return to the music scene with his fourth studio album, ‘Melomania’. This new body of work is a heartfelt reunion, delivering the signature vocals and Afropop magic that his devoted fanbase has long awaited.

‘Melomania’ opens with the spiritually uplifting track “Daalu,” a sincere expression of gratitude. The album quickly transitions to more upbeat tempos with the dance-infused tracks “Outside” and “Emotional Damage,” where Solidstar’s distinctive vocal delivery seamlessly blends with infectious grooves. Deeper cuts like “Better” showcase his resilience against detractors, while “Tinini Tanana” offers a sharp and catchy social commentary on Nigeria’s economic realities, all wrapped in minimalist production that allows his voice to shine.

However, it is within the realm of love songs that Solidstar truly captivates. “Legalise” exudes heartfelt sincerity, reminiscent of Afropop’s golden era with its tender delivery. The album concludes with “Hold Me,” a compelling fusion of R&B and dancehall, portraying a desperate and sensual longing for lasting intimacy. Collaborations with guitar maestro Fiokee and producer Selebobo inject both nostalgic and contemporary textures into the album, bridging Solidstar’s classic sound with modern musical trends.

Speaking about his new project, Solidstar shared, “‘Melomania’ represents my abnormal love for music. Every track on this album comes from deep within, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to express myself through this solid body of work.”

At 35, Solidstar’s return isn’t merely a revisit to the past; it marks an evolution. ‘Melomania’ masterfully balances vulnerability with vibrancy, reaffirming that some voices only gain richness and depth with the passage of time.

‘Melomania’ is now available for streaming and download on all major digital music platforms.
