Rising Afrobeats newcomer Deremi makes a bold entrance with his debut single, “Different,” a soulful and emotionally grounded take on modern love. Blending smooth melodies with a rhythmic bounce rooted in Nigerian sounds, Deremi delivers a heartfelt message of reassurance, loyalty, and authenticity in a world where real love often feels hard to find.
Sung in a mix of English and Nigerian Pidgin, “Different” is both simple and powerful. It captures the voice of a man determined to stand out—not through bravado, but by showing up, listening, and staying true. “I go protect you… I go take your sorrows and pain away,” Deremi sings, offering vulnerability in a genre that often leans toward surface-level charm.
“I’ve seen good women become guarded because of bad experiences,” says Deremi. “‘Different’ is me saying — I hear you, I understand, and I’m not here to waste your time.”
Built on expertly crafted instrumentation, the track features a warm Afro bounce that sets the tone without overpowering the message. Deremi’s vocal performance is smooth and controlled, adding just the right touch of finesse to make the entire production feel polished and emotionally resonant.
The hook — “What is wrong with our love? Make you no dey fo” speaks to the hesitation that follows broken trust, but rather than pressure or plead, Deremi uses the song to make a quiet, sincere promise of consistency and care.
“Different” is more than just a love song, it’s a feel-good, reflective anthem for those navigating healing and connection. Whether on a long drive or during quiet moments of thought, this track resonates with anyone who’s ever had to prove their love is real.
