Nigerian Afrobeats star Rema has announced a new seven-track extended play titled E-Mortal Boy, scheduled for release on November 20. The upcoming project will feature a song titled "Tanzania", which has already attracted attention in Tanzania. The song appears as the fourth track on a circulating tracklist, with American record producer BNYX listed as a collaborator.
The inclusion of "Tanzania" has sparked interest among Tanzanian music fans, who have been discussing the possibility of hearing the Nigerian singer release a song carrying the country's name. While the track's subject and the reason behind its name have not yet been explained publicly, some fans have seen its inclusion as a notable gesture from an international artist whose music reaches audiences across the continent.
The upcoming project will also bring together Rema and Nigerian music heavyweight Wizkid on a song titled "Feel Alright", which appears first on the circulating tracklist. The reported collaboration is notable because it brings together two generations of Nigerian Afrobeats, with Wizkid helping take the genre to international audiences before Rema emerged as one of its prominent younger stars.
The other songs listed on the project are "Oh No", "Velvet", "TEA", "SUGA", and "Bang Bang". The latter reportedly features London and Kah-Lo, adding further names to the project's list of collaborators. The tracklist also includes "Oh No" and "TEA", two songs that Rema released ahead of the EP, giving listeners some familiarity with the material expected to appear on the project.
Although the reported tracklist has circulated across music platforms and entertainment publications, the full details of the songs and collaborations should be treated with caution until confirmed by Rema or his record label. Rema, whose real name is Divine Ikubor, rose to international prominence through a series of successful releases, particularly "Calm Down".
The singer has continued to build his international profile through projects including his 2022 debut album Rave & Roses, the 2023 EP Ravage, and his 2024 album HEIS. E-Mortal Boy will mark his return to the EP format following Ravage. Its seven-song format brings together Nigerian and international collaborators, while the appearance of "Tanzania" has given the forthcoming release a particular point of interest among listeners in East Africa.
With the November 20 release approaching, fans will be waiting to hear what Rema has prepared, especially whether the song carrying Tanzania's name will live up to the attention it is already receiving. The release is expected to further solidify Rema's position as a prominent figure in the Afrobeats scene, both in Nigeria and internationally.
