with you

There is a warmth that settles into the bones of this track almost immediately — a mid-tempo Afrobeats pulse built on muted guitar plucks and a drumline that never rushes, never lingers, just breathes. Khaid's voice carries the kind of effortless intimacy that makes a studio recording feel like a conversation happening two feet away, soft-edged and sincere without ever straining for grandeur. The production stays deliberately sparse, letting the vocal sit front and center with just enough atmospheric shimmer to give the song a late-night texture. Emotionally it occupies that specific space between infatuation and devotion — the feeling of wanting someone near not out of desperation but out of quiet certainty. The lyrics don't reach for poetry; they reach for honesty, which ends up being the more resonant choice. This is Nigerian street-pop in its most unguarded form, emerging from a generation of young Afrobeats artists who traded maximalism for intimacy without losing any of the groove. You'd reach for this on a slow evening when the city outside is winding down and you're in no hurry to be anywhere except exactly where you are.
