The Nigerian singer Niniola reunites with the great producer Sarz on “Omo Rapala,” a propulsive new single released on Friday.
These two artists have a stellar musical history: In 2017, Sarz helped produce Niniola’s “Maradona” and “Sicker,” a pair of gleaming house cuts full of assured singing and compulsively danceable drum programming. “Omo Rapala” pulls from the same playbook, letting Niniola carry the melody while a skeletal, heavily syncopated beat throbs in the background. The only indulgence is a slick instrumental hook that seems designed to inspire popular dance videos.
