The trilogy has garnered over 400 million plays, solidifying Pheelz’s position as a powerhouse in the global music scene. This new EP follows Pheelz's recent success with his production and songwriting contributions to Usher’s chart-topping album, 'Coming Home.' Additionally, Pheelz has been collaborating with high-profile artists such as Kali Uchis, The Chainsmokers, and Pharrell Williams, and has received co-signs from industry legends Dr. Dre and Timbaland.
‘Pheelz Good II’ showcases Pheelz’s innovative approach to the afrobeats genre, blending elements of R&B, soul, hip-hop, and dance music to create a unique and genre-defying sound. This EP sees Pheelz pushing the boundaries of afrobeats, bringing it back to the dance floor with an infectious energy that’s hard to resist.

Each track offers a glimpse into Pheelz’s emotional journey, providing listeners with an intimate connection to the artist's experiences and reflections.
The EP opens with ‘Fever,’ a vibrant and flirtatious track featuring the Queen of afrohouse, Niniola. This song captures the exhilarating rush of meeting someone new, with playful lyrics and an irresistible beat. ‘Majo,’ which means “dance” in Yoruba, follows with an energetic celebration anthem inspired by Nigeria’s vibrant ‘Owambe’ parties, encouraging listeners to enjoy life’s joyous moments.
‘Kamikaze’ marks a more introspective turn, delving into personal struggles and anxieties. Written during a time of overwhelming negativity, this song reflects Pheelz’s own battles with stress and concern for his loved ones. ‘Yeye’ is a love song that beautifully encapsulates the excitement and vulnerability of romance, pleading for enduring love while acknowledging the fear of heartbreak. The EP concludes with ‘Rotate,’ a sensual dance track that celebrates connection and rhythm, inviting listeners to lose themselves in the music.
Pheelz describes ‘Pheelz Good II’ as a hybrid of different afrobeats styles, merging emotions with danceable beats. “This project is an intimate reflection of my true self, where I’m unapologetically me, embracing my vulnerabilities,” Pheelz explains. “It’s about fully owning who I am and allowing my audience to connect with the raw, unfiltered version of myself.”
With accolades from Billboard, Rolling Stone, and TIME Magazine, and endorsements from global music icons, Pheelz has solidified his place as a rising star.
