The Agenda

The Agenda

24/7, 365, we update you on the tracks and artists setting The Agenda. This week, Ayra Starr shines bright atop The Agenda with “Bad Vibes”. The uplifting anthem about praying away the negativity is taken from the Nigerian’s recently released second album, The Year I Turned 21, and features Starr’s compatriot Seyi Vibez. “Translating Yoruba to English is so annoying sometimes because it doesn’t just hit the same in English,” she tells Apple Music. “In the hook, the lyric in Yoruba means ‘Don’t poke me in my eye or don’t hit me in my eye. I don’t break. I’m good.’ It’s an idiom, right? For the guest feature, I wanted a perspective from somebody that would understand what I was trying to do with the song. I felt like that with Seyi Vibez, we sound amazing together.” Elsewhere, you can also hear essential new music from Gunna, K-Trap and Central Cee & Lil Baby. Remember: The Agenda is always on the move, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
