@Pheelz Discusses His Upcoming EP 'Pheelz Good' On Africa Now Radio

By @AtlehangMoloi on 02/02/2023 in News

Nigerian songwriter and producer-turned-artist, Pheelz joins Dadaboy Ehiz via FaceTime on Apple Music 1 to talk about his latest track, ‘Stand By You’ from his upcoming debut EP, ‘Pheelz Good’ which he also discusses. He delves into bringing his various personas to life through sound, and what he’s working on next.

Pheelz on his upcoming project, 'Pheelz Good' EP:

“‘Pheelz Good’ is three different feelings. If you check the artwork that I designed for it, you can see three masks. The first mask is ‘The Loverboy’ - that’s what I call him. That’s where you have the lover boy feelings, where you have songs like ‘Stand By You’. There’s a song called “Pheelz Like Summer” on the project as well, that’s for the lover boy.”

“There’s ‘The Bad Guy Mask’ as well, in the middle. That’s why you have songs like ‘Finesse’ and ‘Ballin’. There’s a song on the EP called ‘Pablo Escobar’ as well. That’s for the bad guy era of the EP. Then there’s another guy called ‘The Gbedu Guy’, on the far right of the artwork. That’s where you have songs like ‘Electricity.’ There’s a song on the EP called ‘Ewele’, and there’s a song called ‘Emi Laye Mi’. Those are like the Gbedu jams, and that’s why there’s The Gbedu Guy with the Gbedu mask. When you see the artwork, you understand the three different feelings on the EP.”

Pheelz on taking centre stage as an artist:

“First off, it’s a lot more flying! A lot more traveling around. I mean its amazing man. I love it on this side of the playing field where I can fully create music just me - being the producer and being the artist - be in the genre and just craft a sound that’s 100%, authentically Pheelz. I love producing as well but now I have the freedom to really create what I want to create, and the art that I truly believe in.”

Pheelz discusses his album plans:

Ehiz: I’m guessing ‘Pheelz Good’ the EP, beginning of the year… so sometime this year or maybe next year we’ll have a full album, how about that?
Pheelz: I’m almost done with that one already! I’m ready. I’m almost done with the project, I swear down man. I’ve got bare songs already.
Ehiz: Ok, so when will that come out? Do you think it is gonna come anytime soon?
Pheelz: Yeah, I think before the end of the year. I think I’m gonna make that happen for sure.
