Have you ever danced your butt off while being heartbroken?
I’ll be completely honest—I’m new to Tiisan’s music. But after diving into his catalog, I overplayed at least three of his tracks without even realizing it. What stood out to me instantly was his passion—it’s raw, honest, and impossible to ignore. On top of that, he blends Afrobeats, pop, and R&B seamlessly, creating a rich, genre-bending sound with a global feel. And with a voice as smooth as his? It’s hard not to get hooked. If you’re new to Tiisan like I was, his latest release, “Baby,” might just be your perfect entry point.
On “Baby,” the Nigerian artist links up with UK-based Ajna Music to deliver a vibrant yet emotional Afrobeat single about the pain of one-sided love. Over lively, percussion-rich production that makes you want to move, Tiisan reflects on the heartbreak of being ghosted and the sting of broken promises. It’s a powerful contrast—the track’s upbeat groove pulls you in, even as the lyrics dig into vulnerable territory.
What really sells the track is Tiisan’s emotive vocal performance. His delivery on the hook sticks with you, while his verses reveal just enough vulnerability to feel honest without getting too heavy. Despite the subject matter, “Baby” radiates feel-good energy, the kind of track you can vibe with on your own or throw on at a late-night function.
Let’s be real—you don’t want to relive the heartbreak, but you will want to replay this.
