Internationally renowned multi-award-winning musician, Yemi Alade, has announced the track listing for her soon-to-be-released third EP, ‘African Baddie’.
The 10-track project features collaborations with world-rated musicians such as the queen of Dancehall Spice, Phyno, Bisa Kdei, Zlatan, Bramsito, Joe Dwẻt File, and British Nigerian singer, Lemar.
The project is set for December 2, 2022, with Yemi already releasing the lead single ‘‘Baddie’ and ‘Bubble’ featuring Spice.
Speaking on her new EP, Yemi Alade said;
“I’m an African ‘Baddie’, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have emotions. Every woman can relate to all the moods in this EP. One minute, we are begging a man not to hurt us again and the next we’re in front of the mirror reminding ourselves who is really in control”.

“This new EP is special to me. Everyone will be able to resonate with different songs to put them in various moods. There is a song for every person on ‘African Baddie’. The vibe flows into one another and I am happy to take my audience on a musical journey with each song”.

Preceding the release of ‘African Baddie’, she had dropped the song, ‘Bubble It’, featuring Spice which accumulated over six million views on Youtube, striking the Nigerian singer into over 20 million views on Tik Tok.
‘African Baddie’ follows Yemi’s Grammy award-winning contributions to Angelique Kidjo’s ‘Mother Nature’ album earlier this year and Beyonce’s ‘BLACK IS KING’ of 2021.
For Yemi, this EP accumulates the same level of attention and recognition, capturing her versatility as an international artiste.
