Recall the legendary mid-2000s R&B hit “Olufunmi” by the 1997 music group Styl-Plus. This track ruled the airwaves and established itself as a perfect Nigerian love anthem, especially on Nigerian radio stations. Between 2004 and 2005, Styl-Plus’ singles “Olufunmi” and “Runaway” were some of the most requested love songs on major Nigerian radio stations.

In an X post, ID Cabasa said, “We crafted new magic from a timeless classic.

ID Cabasa, known for his iconic productions, masterfully retains the soul of the original “Olufunmi” while infusing it with contemporary sounds.
