Fresh Caps, based in Yola, Nigeria, has a sound that is simultaneously old school and super-contemporary. There’s a classic soul vibe that recalls the likes of Usher and Keith Sweat. But at the same time, the production is very now. A song like “My Anchor” has a voice-manipulated, hyper-pop thing going on, and that’s no bad thing. Meanwhile, the artist goes in a hip-hop direction on “Gratitude.” It could be that he’s still looking for his sound, and that’s fine because he’s got plenty of time. But at the same time, his music benefits from the multitude of genres that he’s throwing in the soup.
