Leonard Fonyuy Nsobunrika, known as Mr. Leo in the music world, a singer-songwriter from Cameroon, has released his new musical album.
The album, composed of 14 tracks titled “Good Vibes” was presented to the public on March 20 during a press conference held at the Lionz Academy headquarters in Douala. This new album comes three years after dropping his second album.
During the album presentation, the urban music singer shared details about this new project, which is set to be released tomorrow, Friday, March 22. With the aim of inspiring music lovers, the 14 tracks narrate the singer’s experiences and life’s ups and downs.
“My inspiration comes randomly in the form of a short melody […] Sometimes, it’s about things that have happened to me and sometimes, things that I have observed,” Mr. Leo said during the press conference.
All the songs on “Good Vibes” are written and performed by the artist, except for the track “Vrais Amis,” which is the work of Freddy Musk and Luigi Seno. The production is handled by Dijay Karl, Fredy Muks, and Slym Harley under the banner of Lionz Muzik, the label he founded in 2018.
The first track, “Fly,” immerses the listener in a positive atmosphere with a sunny rhythm blending afrobeat and pop. “Goodbyes” is a captivating ballad with R&B-blues sounds evoking heartbreak.
“Vrais Amis” delves into the concept of friendship with arrangements by Fredy Muks & Luigi bridging rap and hip-hop. “One Man Down” celebrates resilience with lively traditional percussion.
The tracks “Good Vibration,” “Woso,” and “Saka” are poised to be danceable anthems featuring neo-soul flows and assertive Afropop melodies.
The songs offer a diverse mix of groove, Cameroonian rhythms, and influences from Afro pop, pop, blues, and hip-hop. The album “Good Vibes” follows his previous releases “Love Original” in 2017 and “Lion of Africa” in 2021.
