UK-based Nigerian musician and Afrobeats sensation, Dumomi The Jig, has dropped his newest single, “BUTTERFLY,” available now via Adult Global Nation. Following the triumph of his previous hit, “Maria,” featuring Afrohouse luminary Niniola, which achieved over a million views on YouTube and received acclaim from notable publications like Notion, Earmilk, and more.
Produced by the elusive Nigerian beatsmith Black Culture, “BUTTERFLY” shows Dumomi’s adept combination of heartfelt emotion, lyrical finesse, and musical mastery. Set against a mid-tempo R&B backdrop with lush Afrobeats sensibilities, the track reflects on past experiences and a fervent desire for new love. Its allure lies in the enchanting vocals, infectious melodies, and emotive storytelling.
The accompanying music video for “BUTTERFLY,” a collaboration with Visionnaire Pictures’ George Guise (known for works with Ms Banks, Aitch, Nafe Smallz), elevates the song’s narrative. Filmed in the picturesque locale of Zanzibar, Tanzania, the video immerses viewers in a cinematic portrayal of love, aligning seamlessly with the track’s themes of deep attraction and affection. Transforming into a short film, the video transforms “BUTTERFLY” into a visual feast.

Raised in a musically enriched environment, influenced by his father’s passion for the piano, Dumomi’s love for music has only deepened over the years.
