“Eleko”, the industry felt the arrival of a serial hit maker.
As a dedicated and hardworking musician, he released singles that made notable impacts in the industry. Before he could cement his place as a true afro-pop artiste, the “Mayor of Lagos.”
Undoubtedly, The twenty-eight-year-old singer has carved a niche for himself in the 2018 and his uncanny ability to make hit songs when featured on songs.
The success didn’t just start overnight. As a child of the famous Yoruba actress Toyin Adewale, Mayorkun was like a normal hustling Nigerian working as a marketer at one of the new generation banks in Lagos before the WhatsApp call from Davido that changed his life.
Originally from Ekiti State, Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, popularly known by the stage name Mayorkun grew up in Osun State, Nigeria. Like the typical “Back in Office”, oozes Mayorkun’s growth and showcases how he has matured on different levels with his sound.
The album started with “Soldier Boy” as the opener. Mayorkun knows what works for him, and in this 2 minutes track, he explores this talent: his effortless ability to craft melodies. Mayorkun flows on a rap beat, using backup choirs to elevate the musicality in his ideas and integrates horn and guitar solos into the beats.
Mayorkun tells his success story and motivates, saying, “You gon be okay (Okay) You gon be okay yeah (That’s right that’s right), Heads up little soldier boy (Get your head up), It’s tough little soldier boy.”
“Back In Office” meets Mayorkun in his cheering state, where he flexes his talents. Here, the percussion holds sway as the narrative hints at him bragging of holding down the lockdown with “hits”. Catchy, petty, deserving of its national anthem status.
The Telz-produced Gyakie, is a definitive play on sensuality and intimacy. Gyaki hands in a fairly good verse, while Mayorkun serenades his love interest with cheesy lyrics that compare their relationship to that of siblings. He brightens things up with his playful wordplay.

“Nakupenda” is an Amapiano song infused with soulful piano strings. If music is a meal, Amapiano is a potent brand of this song, and Mayorkun comes with all the flavour. It’s from a sonic perspective. You will dance, and dance some more.
It’s beautiful to see that Mayorkun thoroughly researched the Igbo Language, which turns out to be the dominating language in “Feel Am” ft Flavour.
This tune is a “Oluwa” is a perfect way to end an album. Mayorkun elevates his penmanship. On this mid-tempo track, Mayorkun added another choral voice towards the end, giving it a spiritual feeling. The saxophone took the verses and bridge to church, while the piano handled foundational duties. While the obvious focus is the syrupy vocal delivery. Underneath is where the magic is.
Ultimately, “Back In Office”’ is intentional about the audience it appeals to, and while it gains no new ground compared to its predecessor, it makes for feel-good music. The songs won’t stay with you, but you will enjoy listening to them on the radio, at the very least. A sneak peek into Mayorkun’s catalogue shows that Mayorkun does many of his best melodies on solo tracks. Albeit, he’s also a great guest to feature on songs, it barely raises any hair when he invites other artists on his songs.
However, three years after the “Mayor Of Lagos” album, there is no doubt that Mayorkun has lived life, grown, and surmounted life’s challenges, and now he’s back in the office to recount his experience. The outcome of this formed a large chunk of this album. The growth can be observed in the way he dealt with topics. The production was successful in bringing out his pristine vocals and superb songwriting. It’s a 7/10 in of production.
Do you think “Back In Office” Album supersedes his debut in sonic cohesion, or does the debut still remain his Magnum Opus?
Let’s know your thoughts about the album.
