Close-up image in monochrome colours of a young Black woman looking at the camera, against a reddish brown background. She wears a long-sleeved, tight top with cutouts on the collarbone in the same colour. Fave's red hair is styled into so-called double buns at the top of her head, with the rest of her long hair falling down her back. She wears glitter stones in the shape of cat's eyes around both eyes, gold creoles and a silver chain with an intricately designed large cross. Her lips are outlined with brown lipliner and glossed. Fave poses with her right hand raised to her right ear, her long, colourfully painted fingernails standing out.

Fave

»I don’t have a genre,« Fave says via Instagram. And we can confirm that while trying to aptly describe the 21-year-old’s music. Let’s tell her story instead: With emotional lyrics and hypnotic vocals, Fave’s minutes-long freestyle videos went viral during the first Covid lockdown in West Africa. When »Baby Riddim« from her first mixtape »Riddim 5« was released in 2021, it hit number 1 in nine countries and since then has amassed several million streams. Her unique, poetic lyrics tell haunting stories of vulnerability and weakness, unleashing a storm of emotion that blows us away, along with the fat beat drops and high-tempo drums. Fave is sure to be an international star of the next generation of Nigerian music – whether it’s in the genres of dancehall, afrobeats, dance, R&B or pop.
