MELÖVIA places Savage firmly among the voices shaping the next phase of Afrobeats. The project arrives at a time when the genre is crossing borders more rapidly than ever, yet still rooted in the rhythms and storytelling that define its identity. Rather than being another entry in a busy release cycle, the album stands out as a carefully built statement that leans on collaboration, experimentation, and vision. Savage uses the project to show not just where Afrobeats is now, but also where it can go.

The twelve track collection strikes a balance between solo performances and features that feel purposeful rather than forced. Each collaboration adds something unique to the mix, from UK influences to voices from Nigeria’s street corridors, showing the global reach of the sound while keeping its pulse local. MELÖVIA manages to merge different perspectives without losing cohesion, creating a project that feels expansive but still unified in tone and direction.

Sonically, the album draws from a wide palette. Traditional percussion sits comfortably beside trap drums, drill textures, and moments of pop influence. This gives the music a layered quality that works for both the casual listener and the more intentional fan. Savage also shows an awareness of pacing, knowing when to turn up the energy and when to allow space for slower, more reflective storytelling.

At a point where discussions about the sustainability of Afrobeats are front and center, MELÖVIA feels like an answer. It shows how curation, structure, and artistry can work together to produce music that moves beyond short term buzz and connects with audiences on a deeper level. For Savage, this album is more than a showcase of skill; it is a marker of intent, placing him among the artistes ready to define the next chapter of Afrobeats on a global stage
