ON THE RISE
Nigerian-American artist E'Major is back with his latest single, "Bolo", an infectious fusion of Amapiano and Afrobeat that showcases his unique musical style. Based in Minneapolis but deeply connected to his Nigerian roots, E'Major has been promoting the track in West Africa since its release last month.
"Bolo" is a lively, danceable track produced by Masterkraft, a leading Nigerian producer known for his signature Afrobeat sound. The song features E'Major's smooth vocals layered over a beat that instantly pulls listeners in.
A single snare hit kicks off the song, giving way to a syncopated conga beat over a fast-moving shaker in the background. While the percussion intro evokes the log-drum characteristic of South African amapiano, “Bolo” wastes no time getting right into its distinctive groove. A descending piano melody leads to a keyboard chord progression that persists throughout the entire 3 minutes and 11 seconds. Background vocals and more snare hits make way for E’Major’s silky vocals.
The way you do me, I no know
Dey make me dancey awilo
I know I used to be a player
But I retire like papilo
…
Omo you don scatter my bolo bolo
Scatter my bolo you do scatter my bolo bolo
The single’s upbeat energy and relatable lyrics are sure to resonate with fans worldwide. For the uninitiated, the term "bolo," E'Major explains, is Nigerian slang for "head" or “mind.” When he sings "scatter my bolo," he’s talking about being driven wild in love. Did you ever know somebody who drove you crazy, in the best kind of way? If so, this song is for you.
Emeka Jeremiah Nnaji, born in Nigeria and raised in the United States, is the brainchild behind E'Major. He explains that the stage name is a play on words, combining his name—Emeka—with his preferred musical key, E major. He explains that as a guitarist, E major is the key that he gravitates toward most.
The music video for Bolo, directed by Ara Brownie, brings vibrant West African visuals to the song. Filmed on an island near Lagos, it features horseback riding on the beach, fresh tropical fruits, drinking from coconuts, beautiful dancing women, and a culminating scene of fire dancing at night on the beach. The flirtatious tropical vibes are abundant. "Ara really brought my vision to life," E'Major says.
Drawing inspiration from Afrobeat giants like Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido, E'Major sees the genre’s global rise as an opportunity to bring fresh sounds to the forefront. "Afrobeat is in demand right now," he said. "It’s a sound that can blend with other genres, like Amapiano from South Africa."
While “Bolo” is a standalone single, E'Major has plans for a full-length album with his label, Motion Major Records. For now, though, he’s focused on releasing singles to build momentum.
“Bolo” is the latest example of E'Major's ability to blend his African heritage with his American influences, creating music that transcends borders. As E'Major puts it, "This is a song that can connect with everyone from different walks of life."
With his roots in both Nigeria and the U.S., E'Major is on a mission to spread his sound across the globe. Check out “Bolo” today on all streaming platforms and prepare to "scatter your Bolo."

NETHERLANDS — August 26, 2026 — Brook Lynn is stepping into a new chapter with “Love Your Enemy,” an atmospheric alternative pop song that turns an intensely personal battle with anxiety into a message of self-acceptance. Written after her America’s Got Talent auditions, the song captures the internal conflict of facing the person who can be hardest to silence: yourself.
Built around cinematic production and emotionally restrained vocals, “Love Your Enemy” explores the disconnect between appearing fine in public and confronting difficult thoughts in private. The song’s central message is reflected in its chorus, where Brook Lynn sings about being “my own worst company” before arriving at its most hopeful realization: “They say, ‘Love your enemy,’ / So I’m learning how to love me.”
For Brook Lynn, that “enemy” is anxiety. Rather than presenting it as something that simply disappears, the song examines what it means to live with those thoughts while refusing to let them dictate what comes next.
“I always want to give a hopeful message in every song,” Brook Lynn explains. “I always first want to explain what is happening in your head and what you feel, and then, at the end, give a message that you can get out of this, and that anxiety doesn’t have to hold you back from all the things you want to achieve in your life.”
That message became especially significant when Brook Lynn made the decision to perform “Love Your Enemy” on America’s Got Talent. Known by many viewers for her stripped-back cover performances, she recognized that performing an original song on one of television’s biggest stages carried a different kind of risk. But she also knew she could not continue forward without showing audiences the artist behind the covers.
“I just thought it was really important to also show the world that I’m not just a cover singer,” she says. “I do want people to know that I write songs and I want to be an artist and put that out there.”
Brook Lynn performed “Love Your Enemy” during the America’s Got Talent quarterfinals, bringing the song’s story of anxiety and self-doubt directly to a massive live audience. Her journey on the show ended there, but the response made one thing clear: listeners wanted to hear more. Fans connected not only with her voice, but with the honesty behind the performance and the willingness to speak openly about emotions many people struggle to acknowledge themselves.
“I do want to be that person with my music as well for other people,” Brook Lynn says, describing her desire to write about real experiences and feelings. “I always want to be really real with everyone, like talk about deeper stuff, not surface level.”
“Love Your Enemy” arrives as Brook Lynn looks ahead to Tales From The Woods, an upcoming EP intended to introduce listeners to a broader picture of who she is as an artist. With only two original songs currently released, she says she is excited to share more music and continue developing the sound and emotional world introduced through “Love Your Enemy.”
The song is not a conclusion to Brook Lynn’s story. It is the beginning of a more open one—one where anxiety can be acknowledged without being allowed to take control, and where the feelings people are often afraid to say out loud can finally have a voice.
Listen to “Love Your Enemy,” which received promotional support from Starlight PR.
Brook Lynn creates music that feels intimate yet powerful, cinematic yet emotionally exposed. Blending atmospheric alternative pop with minimalist visual storytelling, her work explores vulnerability, isolation, emotional tension and human connection through a distinctly modern lens.
Raised in Wilp, a small town in the Netherlands, Brook Lynn grew up surrounded by silence, nature and isolation. Music became a private emotional outlet and a way to process feelings that were difficult to explain out loud. What began through stripped-back online performances evolved into a growing global audience drawn to her honesty and emotional depth.
For Brook Lynn, music is never just about being heard. It is about being understood.
