Nigerian singer and storyteller Chike is tugging on heartstrings once again with his latest release, Son of Chike Stripped, a seven-track acoustic reimagining of his celebrated 2024 album Son of Chike.
From the moment he broke out with Boo of the Booless, Chike has established himself as a master of emotional expression, weaving together soulful melodies, thoughtful storytelling, and heartfelt delivery. Now, he’s returning to the core of what makes his music timeless, raw emotion and stripped-back beauty.
Son of Chike Stripped is inspired by his popular acoustic Tuesday sessions on social media, where fans connected deeply with his unfiltered performances. On this new project, he revisits select tracks from his third album, removing all the studio polish to let the lyrics and melodies speak louder than ever.
From ‘Mma (Beauty)’, a delicate ode to admiration, to ‘Apple’, a soft yet powerful vow of love, each track is reimagined to capture the intimacy that fans have always loved about Chike. Backed by longtime collaborator DeeYasso, the acoustic arrangements feel warm and organic—like sitting front-row at a private living room concert.
Coming off his wins at the 17th Headies for Viewers’ Choice and Best Collaboration, this project isn’t just a victory lap, it’s a reminder of what truly sets Chike apart. His voice. His pen. His vulnerability.
With Son of Chike Stripped, Chike invites fans into his emotional world in the purest form, showing once again why his songs continue to soundtrack love, heartbreak, and everything in between.
