News of Boy Spyce’s Mavin activation in 2022 was greeted with a sense of overdue expectedness after his viral covers and freestyles from 2020 and 2021 had kept the internet expecting more from the singer whose honeyed vocals and balmy melodies stood him out from a crowded field. His dreamy debut extended play and a stellar contribution on “Wan Da Mo” stood him in good stead for a propulsive showing in 2023.
Not going to let his listeners down, Boy Spyce kicked off 2023 with a mellow mid-tempo ode to hurt on “Folake,” letting his audience into a candid story of a lover spurning him. A feel-good collaboration with Khaid titled “Carry Me Go” revealed that love and expressionism were going to be at the heart of all that Boy Spyce would speak on in 2023. He continued exploring those motifs on “Relationship” and “So Bad” before closing out the year with “Pepe,” a groovy dedication to a lover.
