Examining Pheelz’s new style of writing music with his fans online.
Nigerian producer-turned-artist, Pheelz has been one of Afrobeats’ most consistent hit makers since his debut single, “Finesse”. Since then, he has gone on to release big records with Davido, Olamide and Young Jonn. Recently, he commenced a new style of writing songs with his fans on social media, aiding one of his new songs, “Je Lo” and it seems like this new style is here to stay. In a new video, a fan suggested a song about the current state of Nigeria, which he and his fans wrote on. It is unsure if or when this song will also be released. However, it is beautiful to see an artist create a huge bond like this with their fans.
