Following a rise that positioned him as one of Afrobeats’ most promising new voices, Brown Joel steps firmly into the spotlight with his highly anticipated debut project, High Spirit – The Mixtape. This cohesive body of work showcases the depth, range, and artistic evolution of an artist poised for global recognition.
The breakout Afrobeats star showcases his range and cements his status as a leading voice of his generation with a project featuring Jeriq and Savage.
Before captivating audiences with his 2023 breakout solo single Peace, Joel was already a respected force behind the scenes, shaping sounds and collaborating with acclaimed artists such as Mr Eazi and Crayon. His trajectory accelerated dramatically with Ogechi, a collaboration with Boypee and Hyce that became one of the biggest Afrobeats anthems of 2024.. The track earned multiple award nominations and decisively cemented Brown Joel’s status as an artist to watch.
High Spirit is the culmination of this journey, a testament to Joel’s versatility and artistic vision. The project skillfully weaves together diverse sounds, featuring high-profile collaborations with rap heavyweights Jeriq and Savage. It includes already-beloved fan favorites like K.O.K and Omo Temi, tracks that have built immense anticipation for this release, further amplified by his captivating performance on the prestigious COLORS platform.
The focus single, Shayo featuring Jeriq, captures Brown Joel at his most melodic and introspective. The track presents a more vulnerable side of the artist, as he sings about gratitude for life’s full spectrum the good, the bad, and the ugly moments that shape one’s journey.
With High Spirit – The Mixtape, Brown Joel moves from a promising newcomer to an established leading force, delivering a project that is as celebratory as it is profound.
