Nigerian-American singer WurlD drops his new 9-song EP, Love Is Contagious.

The new release, which is led by popular singles like "Show You Off" featuring Walshy Fire & Shizzi and "Contagious," sees the blue-haired WurlD blending elements of Nigerian juju music with pop and R&B, making for a captivating and energetic fusion.

"Love is Contagious is a conversation about love, from the infatuation stage to drowning in the emotion to the commitment stage," mentions WurlD. "This EP is something everyone can relate to at some point in their lives. It has always been my goal to add a different range to the conversation and Love is Contagious does that, taking my fans and family on the journey a man goes through finding himself in love."

WurlD's creates "a sound that connects to the quintessential Afropolitan mind," wrote our contributor Joey Akan in an exclusive interview piece with the Lagos-born singer.

In that same interview, WurlD gave us a deeper look at the thinking behind his music, through the making of his single "Contagious." "For me the song was paying homage to the culture and the new age sound of African music," WurlD says. "I made it very important to tap into certain sounds like Fuji music, which is the Juju music, Afrobeats, Apala... I learned music outside of Nigeria so I have a different perception than some popular artists in Nigeria. I understand that to push African music forward, you have to fuse it in the most effortless way."
