ERI IFE AND SUNNY NEJI’S “MR ROMANTIC” RENEWS THE PROMISE OF LOVE WITH HIGHLIFE SUNSHINE AND R&B SOUL
Eri Ife, the soulful storyteller born from generations of traditional drummers, has always known music as his birthright. From childhood melodies to ancestral rhythms, his sound carries the weight of heritage and the lightness of dreams. Now, in his enchanting collaboration with Nigerian music legend Sunny Neji, he delivers “Mr Romantic”, a love song so pure, it feels like destiny set to melody.
“Mr Romantic” is more than a duet; it’s a sacred conversation between eras. Eri Ife’s tender opening lines, “Asa nwa! Omalicha! Uso’m!” (Beautiful one! My sweetness!), weave Igbo poetry with R&B soul, crafting love letters that tremble with devotion. When he sings “Elohim has decreed…”, romance becomes a spiritual covenant. Sunny Neji’s iconic voice then sweeps in like a warm embrace, bridging Nigeria’s golden age of love ballads with contemporary vulnerability. Together, they transform the chorus – “Mr Fantastic / Mr Romantic / Mr Melody / Mr Magic” – into a mantra for lovers who believe in forever.
The production wraps their voices in a tapestry of acoustic strings, highlife sunshine, and R&B rhythm, every element designed to make hearts sway. It’s nostalgic yet fresh, intimate yet universal. “This song is for those who still believe love is magic,” says Eri Ife. “Sunny Neji taught us how to romance a generation; now we’re writing the next chapter together.” With its timeless warmth, “Mr Romantic” doesn’t just soundtrack love, it renews its promise.
“Mr Romantic” is available now on all streaming platforms.
