Fireboy DML's third album 'Playboy' explores love and life under the limelight over easygoing grooves. Read our review.

Fireboy returns to form, prioritizing the sounds of the continent and the Caribbean as he did on his stunning 2019 debut,, instead of the more Western pop and R&B flavors he experimented with on his last album, 2020’sis bookended by a swirly ballad on one side and a soft-rock R&B number on the other , Fireboy mostly performs over production that emphasizes Afrobeats’ invigorating percussion and sweeping synths.

Across the album, Fireboy’s writing is clean and incisive, dancing between English, pidgin, and his native Yoruba. He can be grave and reflective, like when admits he’s struggling to adjust to fame on the opener, “Change.” He can be sly, as on “Ashawo,” where he chalks mutual infidelity up to liquor and loose attitudes.
