AYOLITH

AI-assisted records. The words are ours and a person edits every line; drafting is machine-assisted. The voices are synthetic, the artists are characters and no living performer is imitated. How we make records.

A bright lead and a room full of her own voice answering.

From
Lagos, Nigeria
Genre
afrobeats, Nigerian street-pop, amapiano, neo-fuji
Label
Nity Entertainment

Ololade Ayo works in the Lagos street-pop tradition, where a lead trades phrases with a chorus and the chorus has the last word. Her records are built so the answer arrives before you have finished asking: one bright line on top of the log drum, then a stack of her own voice landing flat on the beat behind it.

AYOLITH is a character rather than a person. The words are ours and a person edits every line. Drafting is machine-assisted; the voice is synthetic. How we make records.
