The project opens on a mellow note with the soothing sounds of “Gbàgbé,” which means forget in Yoruba. Backed by lush strings, soft plucks and laidback grooves, Mus reflects on recency bias and the power of relevancy in this day and age. He states how easily people forget one’s greatness and calmly sings with raw bravado and confidence, reaffirming his status as the man of the moment who gave it his all. This is followed by the guitar-driven “Allow Me.” The track starts with a funny quip in Nigerian pidgin English and moves into a hypnotic piece underpinned by Mus’ baritone melodies and expressive lyrics inviting that special lady to join him in having a good time. The track aims to push aside the everyday worries, and Mus does that exactly as he delivers an uplifting performance that lovers can get involved with. The next track, “Ajike,” is a heartfelt open letter to love and the lingering emotions that come with it. Mus declares his undying love and how he can’t stop thinking about a special lady who will forever be dear to him. On another note, the title refers to a popular Yoruba female name meaning “someone who wakes up to petting and pampering.”

The project continues with a myriad of sounds that keep pushing the envelope. For example, “Yandele Riddim” is a party jam that captures the essence of Owambes (a celebratory party that is popular among the Yoruba tribe in Nigeria) with a modern Gen Z  summer vibe. The production is particularly striking as it fuses elements of afropop, amapiano, with a touch of dancehall. Once again, Mus is in his element as he effortlessly delivers catchy feel-good melodies that keep the summer party flowing. Tapping back to the Yoruba name-inspired theme is the track “Folashade,” a solemn but somewhat bouncy tune that explores heartbreak. Backed by an ethereal and spacey backdrop brimming with sparkling textures and percussions, Mus pours his frustrations on wax as he reflects on how Folashade did him dirty, and things were never the same. This leads into “Room 206” featuring Afropop star L.A.X, and together the duo take listeners on a late night steamy encounter from their respective viewpoints. Mus leads the charge with his laidback commanding vocals with graphic lyrics detailing each move while L.A.X steps into the fray on the second verse with his fiery vocals and energetic persona.  The project ends with “Mussy Ginger,” where the singer showcases his rapping skills with a machine gun flow as he spits bars in English, and Nigerian pidgin-English. here, he talks about his journey, his experiences and how these things shaped him to be the man he is.

Overall, Ranmileti, serves as a reminder of sorts and a gift to lovers of modern Afro-fusion styles. Mus knows the assignment and doesn’t need to reinvent the wheel, but rather add progressive features to keep things rolling smoothly.
