Making Jump To Our Beats LagosJump Radio
Winny Adanu, widely known as Winny, is an emerging Nigerian artist whose voice resonates beyond the music. With a style that intertwines Afrobeat and reggae, Winny is setting the stage for a new genre in African music, Afro-Reggae. Her latest single, Take Me, is captivating audiences with its soulful yet upbeat vibe. This song, part of her growing discography, not only highlights Winny’s unique sound but showcases her ability to tell relatable stories of love, growth, and self-reflection.
Born and raised in Benue State, Winny discovered her love for music early on, drawing from the reggae influences her father instilled in her. Moving to Lagos marked a pivotal moment in her career, opening doors to collaborations and new creative directions. Since then, Winny has developed a fresh Afro-Reggae sound, with her debut self-titled EP, WINNY, introducing the world to her genre-defying style.
Released on August 2, 2024, Take Me features notable contributions from artists and producers including BeZaking, Sam Harper, and Thutmose. The song takes listeners through an emotional journey of love, longing, and anticipation, blending Winny’s vocals with Afrobeat rhythms and reggae undertones. Her collaborative work with producer BeZaking and the creative direction by Lady Donli on the cover art add further depth to the track, visually and musically.
Winny’s music, particularly on her WINNY EP, often explores themes of love, independence, and personal growth. Tracks like Don’t Leave and Pretty showcase her powerful vocals and heartfelt lyrics. As she shared in a recent interview, her creative process involves drawing from personal experiences, creating melodies, and adding lyrics that resonate with listeners on an emotional level. Her style is also influenced by her cultural heritage and fashion, blending traditional northern Nigerian jewelry and fabrics into her visuals.
Winny has coined a style that doesn’t conform to a single genre. While her roots are in Afrobeat and reggae, she continues to experiment, adding elements of R&B and pop. With Take Me, she touches on the Afro-pop-piano sound that has become popular globally, all while staying true to her unique approach.
With her debut EP receiving millions of streams and critical acclaim, Winny is now working on her next project, promising even more collaborations and genre-blending tracks. She envisions this new body of work as a “breath of fresh air” with a mix of different flavors, much like Nigerian jollof rice.
Winny’s journey from Jos to Lagos, from reggae influences to her Afro-Reggae innovation, speaks to her versatility and dedication. Take Me marks a milestone in her career, showcasing her ability to blend musical styles and collaborate with talented individuals. As she continues to redefine Afro-Reggae, Winny is undoubtedly a force to watch in the African music scene.
