Nigerian artist-extraordinaire Tay Iwar shares his new single “Undercover Lover”, following the incandescent ‘Healing’, his first taste of music for 2023.
 
The intimate and slow-burning “Undercover Lover” features smooth R&B rhythms overlaid by Tay’s honeyed verses and additional vocals from rising Nigerian singer-songwriter Twelve XII. Lyrically, the track revolves around themes of freedom and vanity, with sparse and elegant production from Tay and Twelve XII.
 
Tay says about the track: ““I wanted to create a song that captures the feeling of needing someone who's always there for you, even if it's just for a moment. 'Undercover Lover' is about finding comfort and pleasure in the arms of someone who understands you, even if it's just temporary. The lyrics and melody capture the mood perfectly, and I hope it resonates with my fans”.
 
Tay’s inimitable sound brings together a heady and thrilling fusion of classic Afrobeat, R&B, hip-hop and future sounds, carving out a wholly distinctive space of his own on the world stage. His prolific career as a singer, songwriter and producer has led to a coveted collaboration roster, working with artists including TameraSainte, JulsAsaPa Salieu and award-winning rapper Dave. He is well-known for his work with Afrobeats superstar Wizkid, having featured on “True Love” off his Grammy-nominated album Made In Lagos, and also has production credits onBurna Boy’s “Alone” - the standout track from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Soundtrack.
