Consistent with Blaq’s penchant for concept-driven musical projects, ‘Sex over Love’ follows a central theme; broaching the topics of sex and love from a number of unique angles. With Blaq leaning heavily into his Afrobeats, Trap and Hip-Hop influences on songs like ‘Don’t Touch,’ ‘Bling’, ‘Fendi’ and ‘Faaji’, it is another display of his versatility and willingness to experiment with, and diversify his sound. But it’s not all vibes and party music this go-around as Blaq is intentional about feeding his core hip-hop fan base with tracks like ‘Heart Breaker’, ‘Oparaji’ and ‘Zombie’. Speaking on the release of the project, Blaq was in a reflective mood saying, ‘This project has been a long time coming. It was the result of sleepless nights at the studio, countless edits, fine-tuning and perseverance. I’m glad the world finally gets to hear it. Let’s get it!’
