    With Starlife, Victony expands on the melodic, atmospheric sound that has defined his music while bringing together some of Nigeria\u2019s most exciting contemporary acts.<\/p>\n

    The album\u2019s release also comes after a private listening event in London, building anticipation ahead of its official arrival.<\/p>\n
