The award-winning global hit maker returns with a double-sided single release.

Nigerian pop star Rema started his career in 2018, when a viral video of him freestylin over D’Prince’s Gucci Gang caught the attention of D’Prince himself - leading to a record deal for the young artist. With a self titled EP, 2022’s LP Rave & Roses, previous single Calm Down peaking at #19 on the ARIA charts, and a recent win at the Soundcity MVP Awards for Digital Artist of the Year this month under his belt, the musician/rapper/singer unveils his latest double-single release Holiday / Reason You.

Accompanied by vivid music video, Holiday is a uplifting, groove-ladened track which allows Rema to articulate his appreciation for how far he’s come and the people around him through effortless flows and addictive melodies. Grounded in its infectious foot-tapping rhythm, watch this 22-year old artist live it up with friends below, and be sure to stick around for the captivating choir-harmony outro.

On the b-side is Reason You, a more introspective and somber cut showing off Rema’s tender side. Still rooted in his signature Afrobeat style and sporting a sizzling hook delivered through enchanting, meditative vocals, it's a track dedicated to one particular individual who has caught his eye.
