Her opening lines—“You ride with me through every storm, my padi till the end”—set a warm tone that carries across sunlit guitar riffs and clapping beats. Alade’s command of Afropop and R&B has made her one of Nigeria’s most gifted performers since her breakthrough hit “Johnny” propelled her to international stages.
Her seven studio albums have earned award nominations at the MTV Africa Music Awards and The Headies, and she has collaborated with global artists such as Rick Ross and Carl Thomas. On “My Padi,” 9fingers underscores her voice with crisp production that balances modern polish and organic instrumentation.
