Nigerian rising star and afropop sensation ALPHA P is back with his highly anticipated new EP WELCOME TO THE PACK, a captivating five-track project that marks a new chapter in his evolving sound and artistic journey.
After a two-year hiatus, Alpha P reintroduces himself with his most important offering yet, which delves deep into his life and times over these past two years, showcasing a newfound vulnerability and soulfulness in his storytelling and delivery.
Welcome to the Pack is a sonic evolution from Alpha P, blending pop, R&B, soul and afrobeats soundscapes, while maintaining a cohesive, emotionally resonant feel. Through this long-awaited project, Alpha P opens up like he has never done before, as he brings listeners into his world with a raw, authentic, and unfiltered lens.
As Alpha P invites listeners to join him on this journey, Welcome to the Pack perfectly sets the stage for the next chapter in his musical universe, but also sees the Edo native reclaiming his place as one of global music’s most exciting new voices.
According to Alpha P, creating the EP was a collaborative process grounded in genuine connection, with the rising star working closely with burgeoning producer Wondah on most of the EP, and forming a creative partnership that resulted in the effortless creation of half of the EP on the very first day they met.
This chemistry allowed Alpha P to explore new artistic territory, crafting records that capture his most authentic self, and push his sound to new heights.
Offering a glimpse into Alpha P’s mind and soul, and reflecting his vulnerability, growth and vision for the future, the Welcome to the Pack EP opens with the deeply emotional ‘Light’, which is inspired by the loss of a close friend, and sees Alpha P reflecting on finding peace in the face of grief.
The next song ‘OMW’ is born from a moment of pure creativity from Alpha P, with his melodies and lyrics flowing naturally and effortlessly into a finished work, while the EP’s infectious lead single ‘W’ fulfils a lifelong dream for Alpha P of working with the legendary Olamide.
‘Hold Ya’ brings a soulful groove to a fast-tempo track, recorded in the intimacy of Alpha P’s living room, and the EP closer ‘4am’ flips the script on traditional love songs, and explores the idea of Alpha P being pursued by his leading lady.
Welcome to the Pack is Alpha P’s invitation to fans to step into his universe and experience life through his eyes. The deeply personal project draws on his own real-life experiences – from the pain and grief of loss to the struggles of self-discovery to the determination to find joy amid adversity.
“This project is a seed that you water with every listen,” Alpha P explains, “helping you see the world through my lens and preparing you for what comes next.” Each track is a testament to his evolution, bridging the gap between the artist he was and the artist he is becoming.
With soulful melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and innovative soundscapes, Alpha P has created a listening experience that feels both personal and universal.
