Since the release of his compelling debut album ‘7AM’ last year, the Nigerian-born pop talent RAPHAEL returns with his bold new single, ‘CHAMPAGNE’. Now based in London, the artist continues to carve an exciting, allusive space for himself as he combines introspection with a stylish, authentic backbone.
As his spoken word brings the track to a compelling beginning, ambient synths and gentle piano lines give the track a magnetic charm. Combining vulnerability with authenticity, ‘CHAMPAGNE’ paves the way for a defiant anthem that finds itself brimming with confidence and defiance. As the verses ring out with finesse and style, the singles chorus is where the track truly begins to glow. With its mix of atmospheric production and sharply tuned pop hooks, the track balances catharsis and catchiness in a way that marks a clear evolution in his sound, showcasing that RAPHAEL is merely just getting started.
Diving into the single, he explains, “In a world where we’re increasingly being silenced, I wanted to reclaim my voice. I needed to unlearn my silence and declare my authentic self.”
