A captivating and silky tune from Alex Iwobi’s debut EP, “Joanna,” showcases the artistry that the Nigerian international footballer reveals under the nickname 17.

On this album, he collaborates with the rising star Fido, who provided the vocals for the massively popular 2025 single “Joy Is Coming.” They provide a new aspect to the mix by working together, combining easygoing melodies with a rhythmic bounce.

With its Afrobeats and Afrowave combination, “Joanna” creates a sound that is at once modern and deeply influenced by Nigeria. The production is smooth and uncluttered, allowing the two musicians to confidently and easily glide over the beat.

This track is a standout on the album due to its relaxing atmosphere and infectious flow; it proves that 17 isn’t content to merely dabble in music but is instead firmly establishing his niche in the industry.
