Emerging from the vibrant music scene of Nigeria, Dreycee is officially stepping into the spotlight with the eagerly anticipated release of her debut 2-pack single, Time / Miami. This exciting dual release is a compelling showcase of her vulnerability, groove, and innovative genre-blending creativity. Now available on all major streaming platforms through the label Skēme, Dreycee’s debut is set to make waves.
The lead track, Time, is a heartfelt Afro-R&B composition that delves deep into themes of mental clarity, emotional boundaries, and the importance of self-preservation. The production, helmed by the talented Dummex, who has collaborated with notable artists such as Magixx, LADIPOE, and Monaky, features moody instrumentation that supports Dreycee’s introspective and candid lyrics. A teaser of Time recently captivated social media, going viral on platforms like Instagram Reels and TikTok, where it amassed over 250,000 organic views. Prominent music producer Timbaland even lauded Dreycee as a “great artist” during a TikTok Live session, further solidifying her emerging presence in the industry.
Dreycee reflects on the significance of Time, stating, “For me, Time is more than just a song, it’s a moment of truth. I wrote it during a time when I was learning to protect my peace and step away from things that drained me emotionally. As an African woman, I feel like we’re often taught to be strong, but not always given the tools to take care of our minds. Through my music, I want to remind people, especially young individuals that it’s okay to pause, reflect, and prioritize your mental health. Guarding your peace is powerful.”
Complementing the emotional depth of Time is Miami, a vibrant and playful track that seamlessly blends Afrobeats and Amapiano, produced by the renowned OG Sterling, who has worked with stars like Zlatan, LAX, and DJ Neptune. Miami radiates an infectious energy, serving as a feel-good anthem that celebrates joy, freedom, and femininity, making it the perfect soundtrack for the summer. Its rhythmic beats and flirty lyrics invite listeners to dance and embrace their carefree spirit.
With this impressive debut, Dreycee positions herself as a fresh and essential voice in Africa’s evolving pop landscape. She masterfully fuses elements of R&B, soul, house, and dancehall into a distinct Afro-fusion sound that reflects her unique perspective and artistry. As she embarks on her musical journey, Dreycee is poised to leave a significant mark on the global music stage.
