Global hitmaking producer RedOne steps forward with a sweeping new project that places African music squarely at the center of the global conversation. The multi-Grammy Award-winning producer has unveiled ‘A.W.A.M.’, a large-scale album bringing together major voices from across African and international pop, R&B, and hip-hop.
The album gathers an impressive roster of collaborators including Davido, Ayra Starr, French Montana, Rema, Akon, Ne-Yo, and Jason Derulo. Across the project, African rhythms meet global pop sensibilities, creating a vibrant sound that reflects a continent shaping worldwide music culture with confidence and creative power.
“A.W.A.M. is a moment where Africa gathers in full view of the world,” said RedOne. “Music at this scale isn’t decoration. It’s identity moving through time. This project is about honoring Africa’s complexity and unity, and creating a sound that belongs to the continent while welcoming the world.”
RedOne arrives at the project with one of the most influential catalogs in modern pop history. His production work has powered global hits for Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Enrique Iglesias, Nicki Minaj, and One Direction, while also shaping major international moments including the FIFA World Cup anthem “Dreamers” performed by Jungkook and the NBA Finals track “The Days” by Lil Wayne and Bono.
‘A.W.A.M.’ extends that global reach while spotlighting African creativity at full scale. The album has already generated strong digital momentum, with multiple songs trending at No. 1 on YouTube Music in Morocco and landing among the platform’s top global trending tracks, signaling a powerful early response from listeners worldwide.
