Stephen Luke, the US-based singer better known as Stephoo, has come through with a new single titled ‘Soja’.
In a recent statement announcing the new song, Stephoo described ‘Soja’ as a testament to his “artistic growth and deep connection with the cultural heartbeat of Nigeria”.
The fast-rising singer added that ‘Soja’ is more than a song but a message.
“‘Soja’ is a blend of Afrobeats and modern pop sounds. It is more than just a song – it is an anthem of resilience and joy, echoing the spirit of Nigeria’s vibrant youth,” the statement reads.
“Soja is about fighting for your lover or companion, pushing through challenges, standing tall, and celebrating the love journey. This song is for every Nigerian who has ever dared to fall in love, been in love and still in love.”
‘Soja’ was produced by Tony Kel Confidence and mixed by Michael Synx.
Stephoo also announced a dance challenge for the song, with winners to take N2 million – N1 million for a group or family entry, and another N1 million for an individual winner.
The singer said the dance challenge is aimed at promoting a “sense of community and celebration”.
“It is a call to families, friends, and individuals nationwide to showcase their talent and creativity,” he said.
“The idea behind this challenge is to bring people together, to celebrate our culture and our love for dance. I want families, groups of friends, and even solo dancers to feel the rhythm of ‘SOJA’, to let loose, and express themselves. And, of course, there’s the exciting prize to spur everyone on!”
Participants are required to upload their dance videos on social media platforms, tagging Stephoo and using the hashtag #SojaDanceChallenge.
The challenge has already started and the deadline for submissions will be announced after a neutral decision-making panel has been constituted.
Winners will be unveiled via Stephoo’s social media pages.
Born in Chicago, the singer has continued to attract attention with his unique sound and charismatic presence.
In 2020, Stephoo released the lyric video for ‘Send Your Fire’, one of his gospel songs.
