Artist of the Week: British-Nigerian Electropop Maestro, Seye

It was a nail-biter, but Seye Adelekan edged out the rest and has been voted MTV Iggy’s Artist of the Week!

The British-Nigerian electropop artist grew up around the world, and his music seems to blend the catchiest elements of each culture. Citing artists like Vampire Weekend and D’Banj as influences, his undeniable vocal hooks and danceable beats have a mainstream appeal and indie spirit.

Seye just signed to Stranger Records, the former label of Lana Del Rey, so the electropop enthusiast is slated for a full-scale takeover. Watch out for his debut album, feat. his single “White Noise.”
