FAVE Unveils Her Second EP Dutty Love, Embarking on a New Chapter with Bad Habit/Atlantic Records!

 

Bad Habit/Atlantic Records has officially welcomed Nigerian singer-songwriter FAVE to its roster, marking a powerful new chapter for the rising star.

 

Known for her captivating voice and raw emotional storytelling, FAVE is celebrating this signing with the release of her sophomore EP, Dutty Love, a bold exploration of love’s darker side.

 

The release arrives alongside The Dutty Love Show, a comedic dating game where FAVE showcases her acting skills, embodying seven unique characters inspired by the EP's tracklist.

 

Adding to the excitement, FAVE has teamed up with Trace Naija for their acclaimed Trace Sessions, delivering an electrifying live performance of her new songs.

 

 

At the core of Dutty Love is FAVE’s uncompromising honesty about love and relationships. “I know how hard it is to pull yourself out of a love situation that doesn’t work anymore,” she shares. “I hope people relate to the stories in these songs. I hope it's a wake-up call to know when to let go. And when you reach that point, put on this EP.”

 

Through songs like Complicated and Lose My Mind, FAVE invites listeners into her journey of self-discovery, examining heartbreak, resilience, and self-worth in ways that feel relatable and deeply personal.

 

Bad Habit co-founders Kirk Harding and Matthew “Baus” Adesuyan are equally thrilled about this partnership, saying, “FAVE is a force of nature whose talent is limitless. Bad Habit is built on nurturing phenomenal artists and empowering them to share their gifts with the world. We are proud to partner with FAVE and the Atlantic Records family on her next chapter.”

 

Lanre Gaba, President of Hip-Hop, R&B, and Global at Atlantic Records, echoes this excitement, stating, “FAVE is the kind of artist that excites us about the future of global music.”

 

 

While Dutty Love reflects FAVE’s unfiltered take on toxic relationships, it also represents the balance she’s found between her music career and her studies. As the middle child in a Nigerian family, FAVE (God’sFavour Chidozie) began singing at six and quickly became an online sensation in her homeland.

 

The lockdowns of 2020 marked her breakthrough, with her powerful one-minute Twitter performances captivating fans.

 

Despite balancing law school and music, her fame grew rapidly, and by 2022, FAVE was recognized globally, earning multiple nominations and winning 'Rookie of the Year' at the Headies. With hits like Baby Riddim, her chart-topping debut single, FAVE has become known as one of Afrobeats' most promising new voices.

 

FAVE is known for blending diverse genres, including Dancehall, Afropop, Afrobeats, Dance, and R&B, calling herself a 'no genre' artist.

 

Her approach to songwriting is equally unique, often starting with a single line and letting the rest flow naturally, creating a sound that mixes vulnerability and strength against high-tempo rhythms.

 

This quality has led to collaborations with notable artists like Davido, Phyno, and Olamide, as well as recognition by platforms like COLORS, Wonderland, and OkayAfrica.

 

She has also been spotlighted as Spotify’s Equal Africa Ambassador, a BET x Nissan Afrobeats Up Next artist, and Apple Music’s ‘One To Watch.’

 

 

With the release of Dutty Love, FAVE’s talent shines brighter than ever. Her fearless approach to music, coupled with her youthful curiosity and evolving artistry, has cemented her status as a transformative force in the music industry.

 

From her fan-favourite tracks like Controlla and No Games to her vibrant personality, FAVE invites listeners to witness a journey as unforgettable as her music.

 

As she steps forward with Bad Habit/Atlantic Records, FAVE’s future promises new heights, bound to captivate audiences worldwide.
