GRAMMY® nominated multifaceted superstar Jidenna returns to the music scene with a hot new single titled “Blush”. “Blush” is the long-awaited follow up to his critically acclaimed album, 85 to Africa that was released in 2019. Last week, Jidenna released a sultry trailer to “Blush” for his fans to indulge in that can be viewed here here.
This melodic bop highlights the best parts of falling in love with someone. Hinging on his deft and elite lyricism, it culminates on a chantable chorus punctuated by quotable lines. “Blush” is the first release from Jidenna’s upcoming third studio album that is set to be released some time later this week.
ABOUT JIDENNA:
Much like the African Diaspora, Jidenna’s music proudly encompasses a wide range of vibes, ranging from Afrobeats, funk, R&B, to hip-hop. This kaleidoscope of cultures, eras, and sounds cemented the GRAMMY® nominated multi-platinum rapper, singer, songwriter, producer, and actor as an international sonic pioneer who quietly paved the way for the 21st century Afropolitan music revival. Regarding rap as a gentleman’s sport, he applies eloquence and global consciousness to the culture with verbal excellence and style. Since 2015, he has distinguished himself as a rare talent equally at home on President Obama’s playlist, the court at the 2020 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, or on-screen in HBO’s Insecure and A Black Lady Sketch Show. Jidenna formally introduced himself with the double-platinum “Classic Man” garnering a GRAMMY® nomination for “Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.”
The song paved the way for his full-length debut, The Chief, which received praise from The New York Times. The 2019 follow-up, 85 To Africa, resonated globally attracting praise from Pitchfork, The Guardian, and Entertainment Weekly. In 2020, Jidenna contributed “Feng Shui” to Insecure: Season 4 soundtrack and “Black Magic Hour” to African On All Sides. Time hailed the latter among “The Best New Songs of July 2020” calling it “entrancing.” Clocking just shy of 1 billion total streams and receiving worldwide acclaim, he continues to elevate the playing field with his new single “Blush” and forthcoming third album.
