New kid on the block Rema is the latest signee to the prominent Mavin Records helmed by the visionary Don Jazzy. Also home to Tiwa Savage & Korede Bello.
Rema has been building quite a notable buzz online, sharing freestyle clips and confirming on his Twitter that he contributed vocals for “Turn Up”, the DJ Tunez, Wizkid and Reekado Banks collaboration from last year.
On “Iron Man”, his debut release under Mavin Records, he displays his ability to fuse Afropop and Hindi film inspired melodies. The result as you’d expect is a fire love ballad which the video Clarence Peters directs portrays in the sultry ambiance of smoke machines, strobe lights and pretty models. “Iron Man” introduces Rema as a passionate lover boy, singing “Anything You Want, Baby Oh/ I Go Give You Love Baby Oh” over an Afropop beat that doesn’t stop the song from sounding like the score for an Indian film.
Though the song is his first release under Mavin Records imprint, Rema already debuted “Corny”, “Dumebi” and “Why”.
You can watch the music video for “Iron Man” below.
