Afrobaby Finds Her 'Safe Space' with Genre-Bending Debut EP

Rising British-Nigerian artist Afrobaby has shared her highly anticipated debut EP, 'Safe Space'. This exciting new project is a deeply personal exploration of mental health, blending infectious energy with raw, reflective lyrics. Think dancing with tears in your eyes – this EP promises to be a cathartic rollercoaster.

Afrobaby has been making waves in the UK music scene, championed by BBC Introducing as having a "Fresh Empowering Sound". She recently represented Bradford at the launch of the city's 2025 City of Culture programme, solidifying her status as one to watch.

'Safe Space' takes listeners on an immersive journey through Afrobaby's unique sonic landscape, fusing electronic, indie, RnB, and even liquid drum & bass. Building on the success of her defiant single 'I'LL KEEP DANCING', the EP delves into themes of anxiety, self-discovery, and the courage to embrace vulnerability.

Tracks like 'LIGHTER' offer an intimate glimpse into Afrobaby's struggles with social anxiety, while 'I'LL KEEP DANCING' is an anthem of self-acceptance, urging us to rise above self-doubt. But the EP also offers moments of quiet reflection. 'WHAT U NEED', a downtempo gem, explores the importance of resilience and finding peace within the present moment.

"'WHAT U NEED'came to me back in 2016," Afrobaby explains. "I was feeling stuck, watching friends move forward while I felt left behind. It was a lonely and anxious time." The song, she says, became a mantra: "'It's not what you want, but it's what you need.' It reminded me that everyone's journey is different, and that sometimes what we think we want isn't what we truly need."

Afrobaby's genre-blending style and heartfelt lyrics create a truly unique listening experience. "Music has always been a safe space for me," she shares. "'Safe Space' is about creating a space where we can all be vulnerable and honest, free from judgement."

With airplay already secured on BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio USA, and Future Hits Radio UK, Afrobaby is poised to make a significant impact. 'Safe Space' is a bold statement from an artist who isn't afraid to bare her soul, inviting us all to find solace and strength within her music.
