A sultry new duet from Lojay and Odeal, “Mwah!” blends soulful vocals with Afro-R&B finesse and lyrical intimacy.
Afrobeats singer-songwriter Lojay and UK R&B innovator Odeal have joined forces for the first time on “Mwah!” — a sleek, romantic single that explores themes of desire and emotional vulnerability. Released today, “Mwah!” marks a special cross-continental collaboration between two of the most exciting voices in Afro-R&B right now.
Lojay’s lyrics evoke intimacy from the very first line, singing “swing my way with your cinnamon fragrance.” The GRAMMY-nominated Nigerian artist guides the track with signature smoothness, while Odeal, fresh from his two MOBO Award wins, matches that energy with velvety vocals and poetic restraint.
Reflecting on the session, Lojay said: 
“I had listened to Odeal’s music before meeting him… The chemistry was instant, and ‘Mwah!’ was the first song to come out of our first link-up.”
Following his Sarz-produced single “Somebody Like You,” Lojay continues to build anticipation for his upcoming debut album, which “Mwah!” strongly previews.
Meanwhile, Odeal is riding high after his 2024 successes, including standout EPs Lustropolis and Sundays at Zuri’s, which earned him over 40 million Spotify streams. His recent feature with Summer Walker solidified his growing international appeal.
With “Mwah!,” Lojay and Odeal present a compelling, genre-blending offering that highlights their chemistry and cements them as artists to watch on the global stage.
