Draped in a digital drum clap, The Love Anthem is an Afrobeats x Pop hook that lands as a head-bopping tune. Aladin Music, the Nigerian-based musician, began his career as a singer in his high school choir. In time, he experimented with rap and R&B, traces of which still echo through this mid-tempo afrobeat rhythm.
The song carries a driving emotion of love over a danceable rhythm, playing a solid balancing act where the listener is invited both to move and to feel. Aladin Music’s smooth vocals slide between notes, borrowing a lyrical root that feels true to R&B while keeping in step with the inferable tempo of afrobeat pop. The percussion loop adds a palpable texture to the sound, grounded by a warm and steady bass. There’s a subtle layering here that makes the track feel fuller than its length, as though it stretches beyond itself.
The Love Anthem is a track off Aladin’s EP Love & Plantains. According to the artist, the song is about love that “resonates in the spirit, not just the senses.” It feels like the collision of spirits, a meeting point where lovers can drop the performance of romance and simply be themselves. The EP’s title is a cultural nod to Aladin Music’s roots, with love emerging as the thread that ties the project together and plantains implying communal belonging, a reminder that his music holds both intimacy and shared purpose.
You can find Aladin Music’s track on streaming platforms including Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music.
