Mersea Breaks Boundaries with New Album ‘JOPAH’

Nigerian singer-songwriter Mersea is back with a bold new album, JOPAH, showcasing her evolution from a soulful R&B singer to a vibrant Afrobeat artist. The 15-track album, set for release under SpinningStar Records, is a harmonious blend of patience, hope, and genre-defying creativity.

JOPAH is more than just an album; it is a personal and artistic milestone for Mersea. Each meticulously crafted track reflects her journey of growth and her unique ability to merge sounds seamlessly. The album was recorded in a private studio, providing an intimate and polished listening experience that highlights Mersea’s emotional depth.

The album’s collaborations bring an exciting dynamic to JOPAH. Featuring Nigerian stars like Josh2funny, Logos Olori, and Bardbanks, and international talents including Grammy-nominated producer Bigragee and U.S.-based artist Vans Angelov, the album bridges the gap between Nigerian and global music landscapes. This fusion of talents creates a rich, textured sound that promises to leave a lasting mark on the Afrobeat genre.

Mersea, born Mercy Oyechachi Ogbolu, is no stranger to the stage. With a music career that began at the age of eight, she transitioned to a professional level as a backup singer in 2015 and released her debut single in 2018. Her sound is inspired by deeply personal emotions, drawing on her experiences to craft songs that resonate widely. Her name, “Mersea,” originated from a 2016 talent competition, where her voice was likened to the soothing yet powerful waves of the ocean.

Throughout her career, Mersea has captivated audiences with her versatile music style, spanning Afrobeat, R&B, and dancehall. She has performed on prestigious stages such as Trace in the City, One Lagos Fiesta, and Sound City Switch, earning accolades as a rising star in the Nigerian music scene.

With JOPAH, Mersea is set to cement her place in contemporary Afrobeat. The album’s blend of resilience, rhythm, and innovation makes it a standout project, not just for her career but for the entire music industry. Fans and new listeners alike can expect an album filled with infectious beats, heartfelt lyrics, and a truly global sound.
