Kicking off 2023 with refreshed energy, Lojay announces the release of his exciting new EP, due March 3rd, Gangster Romantic. The project is an introduction to the turbulent world of Lojay, marked by passionate affairs, in-depth reflection, acute fears, and romanticism. Alongside the announcement, he has released the latest single from the project, “MOTO,” a heart-wrenching Afrobeats number, out today.
As a follow-up to his energetic dance floor-facing singles “Leader!” and “Canada” last year, “MOTO” goes at a slower and more sober pace, with the track showcasing a more vulnerable side to Lojay as he reflects on romantic loss, yearning, and dashed dreams. Easing in with soft electric guitar strums and mellow Afrobeats percussion, ‘MOTO’ was produced by Lojay himself with finishing touches added by Elementz and AOD. Carrying somber energy throughout, ‘MOTO’ explores heartache through the lush layers of Lojay’s distinctive vocals as he showcases his lyrical abilities through raw songwriting and storytelling.
Alongside the release, Lojay has shared the video for “MOTO,” directed by prolific Atlanta-based director Des Gray who is responsible for visuals for the likes of Quavo, Davido, and Lil Baby. Starring Lojay himself, the video explores the narrative of his relationship and eventual breakup, edited with a consuming blue tint to mirror the song’s grave intensity.
