REMIX OF “PAPER” OUT NOW

 ANNOUNCED TO JOIN SEAN PAUL AS SUPPORT FOR TORONTO DATE ON WORLD TOUR

JUNO nominated AfroR&B, singer, songwriter, and producer Nonso Amadi teams up with South African producers, SjavasDaDeejay and Tumelo.Za on reimagined version of his original track “Paper”

Paper” was originally released on Nonso’s debut album, When It Blooms a year ago. With over 60 million global streams, the album received critical acclaim upon release, hailing praise from the likes of Billboard, COMPLEX, UPROXX, HotNewHipHop, and most recently was nominated for Contemporary R&B Recording of the Year at the 2024 JUNO Awards alongside Daniel Caesar, Shay Lia and Jon Vinyl. The “Paper” remix infuses the original track with a new tantalizing drumbeat and a heightened energy ready for any dancefloor. On the remix Nonso comments, “I’m super excited to be working with Sjavasdadeejay and Tumelo.Za on this.” He continues, “’Paper’ is one of my favorite tracks from my album When It Blooms, it’s also the one song I’ve wanted to hear from an Amapiano perspective and I’m glad we got it right. Sjavasdadeejay and Tumelo took it to the next level and I can see the new verse being on repeat for a lot of South African DJs.” 

After releasing and touring across Europe the Blended, a collaborative EP with R&B duo Emotional Oranges, Nonso is announced to join world famous multi-award-winning dancehall icon Sean Paul, supporting on the Toronto date at Budweiser Stage on August 28 for “Sean Paul: Greatest Tour 2024.”
