UNSIGNED HYPE: Idahams – Problem
Fast-rising Universal Music Nigeria artist Idahams releases new single “Problem”. After the trans-continental success of the “Man on Fire” remixes, which has generated millions of streams across digital platforms globally, singer and producer Idahams is back with a new single that will keep him buzzing throughout the rest of 2021. Produced by Idahams, with co-production from Yussy Beats, “Problem” fuses elements of Amapiano and House music mixed in with R&B and jazz to deliver an uptempo dance feel. Problem is a feel-good track with Idahams telling his fans to take a break from the usual troubles of life and to dance and try to enjoy the little things that bring us happiness. Idahams has produced and collaborated on songs by Solidstar, Duncan Mighty, and Mr. 2Kay, and his 2020 single “Ada” debuted at #5 on BBC’s 1xtra chart and peaked at #2, while zooming to #1 on the UK’s Black Music chart. His “Man on Fire” EP topped the iTunes Nigeria chart landing at #1.
The infectious dance track “Problem” encourages us all to celebrate ourselves while echoing the average layperson’s reality. Idahams acknowledges that problems never cease to exist, so it’s okay to live it up a little as we navigate these tough times. As the hook states, “Problem no dey finish, enjoy yourself”. By the end of the track, Idahams wants listeners to rejoice in the little wins.
