We Speak Afrobeats
Get Ready to Groove with NXTHXN’s New Track “One Time”
We’ve got some exciting news that’s guaranteed to add some serious groove to your playlists. London’s very own R&B/Soul sensation, Nathan Palmer – aka NXTHXN – is back with a brand-new track that’s going to make you want to hit the dance floor. Say hello to “One Time” – a song that effortlessly blends smooth R&B vibes with an irresistible Afrobeats twist.
For those of you who might not be in the know, NXTHXN is a powerhouse vocalist with a resume that reads like a who’s who of the music industry. He’s provided backing vocals for legends like Grace Jones and Jocelyn Brown, and lent his voice to tracks by some of the hottest artists around, including Stormzy, WizKid, Little Simz, and FKA twigs, just to name a few.
Now, let’s talk about the star of the show – “One Time”. Produced by the incredibly talented Delirious, this track is all about those unforgettable moments we share with someone special. Inspired by the likes of Chris Brown, Burna Boy, and Rotimi, NXTHXN has crafted a song that’s perfect for summer vibes, late-night drives, and everything in between.
NXTHXN himself says, “Linking up with Delirious really changed the game for me. He’s incredible at adding that Afrobeats flavour, and that’s exactly what I wanted for my next release. For me, this song is all about that deep, universal need to feel loved, and sharing a special moment with someone, even if it’s just for one time.”
Cameroon-born, Germany-based artist Der Oscar Effekt is back and he’s bringing the feels with him. His single “Fool” is the main spark of his most personal project yet, three stone fireside, vol. 1.
If you’ve ever heard his music, you know: Der Oscar Effekt doesn’t just make songs, he builds moods. His sound is a delicious mix of Afrofusion, Makossa, Bikutsi, African folk, and hip-hop, simmered together until it’s pure vibe. It’s music that makes you nod your head and think a little deeper.
What makes him even more inspiring? He’s doing all this while balancing a full-time career as a project manager. His motto — #9to5isnoexcuse — isn’t just a hashtag; it’s a lifestyle. It’s proof that creativity doesn’t wait for perfect timing, it thrives in between deadlines, dinner plans, and dreams.
The album’s name, three stone fireside, comes from a scene that anyone who’s grown up around African family life will recognize — the three-stone fireside, the heart of the home. It’s where stories are told, laughter is loud, food tastes better, and wisdom gets passed down like secret recipes.
For Der Oscar Effekt, that image carries a lifetime of meaning: warmth, belonging, and connection.
“Even though I live far from home, that sense of togetherness never left me”, he says. “This album is my way of translating that energy into sound — intimate, reflective, and communal.”
