$tevoxcv Unveils Phenomenal New Track “Jungle Fever”
$tevoxcv – real name Steve Okolo – is a British Nigerian rapper based in London. The rising star has just unveiled his brand-new single, “Jungle Fever”, featuring the talented David Meli. With a fascinating blend of hip-hop, pop and Afrobeats, $tevoxcv has been making waves since bursting on the scene in 2020, and he looks set to reach new heights with his latest release.
On “Jungle Fever”, $tevoxcv and David Meli come together to express their shared desire for a stress-free life. Produced by BMN, the song incorporates themes of resilience, triumph over past hardships and unapologetic expressions of success and wealth. The infectious beats and clever wordplay in “Jungle Fever” will undoubtedly captivate listeners and draw in new fans.
“Jungle Fever” is the first single from $tevoxcv’s upcoming project, “Nights in Gidi”, scheduled to drop later this year. Fans can expect an immersive musical journey that showcases $tevoxcv’s evolution as an artist and his ability to craft compelling stories.
Speaking on how “Jungle Fever” came about, $tevoxcv says, “BMN and I have been working together for the last four or five years. He constantly sends me beats, and I constantly hoard gems, though I am working on that part of me. ‘Jungle Fever’ was a result of one of our many sessions, and I had actually finished the track, but I felt something was still missing. I reached out to David Meli expecting back a singing verse, but he sent me back straight bars, and I was shocked because everyone knows Meli is a sick vocalist, but he might as well add ‘rapper’ to his bio at this point.”
As $tevoxcv continues to push boundaries with his music, he is poised to make a lasting impact on the global music scene. With his infectious sound and powerful lyricism, he is cementing his place as one of the most exciting artists to emerge over the last few years. “Jungle Fever” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://soniqhill.ffm.to/junglefever.
Keep up to date with the latest from $tevoxcv:
Plain Mister Smith returns with Bric-À-Brac Attack, a beautifully offbeat collection of indie-folk, pop and atmospheric songwriting. Released via Amelia Records, the album finds the Vancouver and London-based multi-hyphenate turning fragments of memory, relationships and everyday absurdity into something quietly cinematic.
At its centre is “Grindavik”, a shimmering, reflective track inspired by the Icelandic town shaped by recent volcanic activity. Bright acoustic guitars and steady drums carry a constantly shifting chord progression, mirroring the song’s central metaphor of a relationship under pressure and the hope that its fissures can eventually heal. Featuring Jordan Klassen and Kitt, the track captures the emotional tension that runs throughout the album.
Elsewhere, Bric-À-Brac Attack moves effortlessly between playful guitar-driven moments, lush arrangements and more introspective passages. “Miss Sunshine” brings infectious energy, while collaborations with Findlay Brown, Leeroy Stagger, Krystle Dos Santos and Tyson Mostenbocher add colour to an already eclectic record.
Former guitarist of Canadian darkwave band Moev and a cellist with the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, Plain Mister Smith brings an unusually broad musical perspective to his songwriting. Yet Bric-a-Brac attack never feels overly calculated. Instead, it has the charm of something discovered rather than constructed.
Warm, strange, melodic and emotionally searching, Bric-À-Brac Attack is a record that rewards getting lost in its details. Plain Mister Smith may remain deliberately mysterious, but the music itself speaks with remarkable clarity.
