Shallipopi, the popular Nigerian singer, has unveiled his distinct style of music, which he calls ‘Afro Pluto.’ The artist known as the ‘Pluto Presido’ shared insights into his innovative musical sound during a recent interview with Factory78. He addressed the question of whether his music should be classified as Afrobeats.
Shallipopi elaborated on his choice of the term ‘Afro Pluto,’ stating that his music is more about storytelling than singing, which sets it apart. He believes his style of music is unique because he combines elements that are not strictly Afrobeats, Afro pop, or any other specific genre. This individuality led to his decision to adopt the name ‘Afro Pluto’ for his sound.
The artist, who recently released two compelling singles titled “Things on Things” and “Oscroh (Pepperlini),” is making waves in the music industry. These new releases are expected to solidify his position and further resonate with both local music enthusiasts and fans of his distinct ‘Pluto’ sound.
