Steve Monite – Only You

Produced in Lagos by Nkono Teles, Only You stands as the pinnacle of Nigerian boogie and electro-funk. Utilising state-of-the-art drum machines, slap bass, and cosmic synthesiser washes, Monite delivers charming, plaintive vocals on the iconic title track and Things Fall Apart. The album captures the optimism and sleek sonic aspirations of urban Nigerian youth during the mid-1980s oil boom.
