Emerging Afrobeats and Highlife sensation Wattle has officially released his debut extended play, EROS. Available on all major streaming platforms, the heartfelt project delves into the complexities of love, exploring themes of longing, heartbreak, and resilience.
EROS is a deeply personal body of work, inspired by Wattle’s experiences of unrequited love. Drawing parallels to the Greek god of love, Eros (Cupid), Wattle portrays himself as a giver of love, forever generous yet rarely receiving it in return. Through six masterfully crafted tracks, he captures the bittersweet emotions of devotion, heartbreak, and unwavering affection.
Speaking about the EP, Wattle shared: “This project is my diary of love—moments of joy, disappointment, and hope. EROS is a reminder that love, even when one-sided, can still inspire and transform.”
Blending traditional Highlife with the vibrant rhythms of modern Afrobeats, Wattle’s sound is a homage to the past while carving a path for the future. His rich vocals, emotive storytelling, and smooth production offer a refreshing take on these genres, resonating with listeners of all generations.
Wattle’s ability to weave contemporary perspectives into traditional sounds makes him a standout talent in the ever-evolving Afrobeats and Highlife scene. With EROS, he cements himself as an artist to watch, blending emotional vulnerability with timeless musicality.
