Background and release

[edit]

Rema released his compilation album titled Rema Compilation. This album brought together tracks from his earlier EPs — Rema (self-titled), Freestyle EP, and Bad Commando, offering a cohesive listening experience of his breakout work. Following the success of the compilation album, Rema announced the name of his first studio album titled Rave and Roses on 1 July 2021.[2]

Composition

[edit]

The compilation album contains tracks which Ozedikus, Altims, Rvssian, DeeVee, Level, and The Elements produced.

The Ozedikus-produced track "Iron Man",[3] the opening track on the album, is a viral hit that made it to Barack Obama's 2019 summer playlist.[4] The second track, "Beamer (Bad Boys)", is an Afropop song produced by Rvssian.[5] The third track, "Corny", is a smooth Afro-pop love song produced by Ozedikus.[6] The fourth track, "Dumebi", arguably Rema's breakout song; catchy, youthful, and full of Afrobeats bounce, produced by Ozedikus.[6] The fifth track, "Why", is a trap-infused emotional song produced by DeeVee.[6] The sixth track, "Lady", is an Afro-fused song produced by Altims.[7] The seventh track, "Alien", is a trap-infused emotional song produced by Level.[8] The eighth track, "Woman", is a vibrant Afrobeats song produced by Ozedikus and Altims, celebrates femininity, beauty, and love.[9] The Level-produced track "American Love" is a genre-blending track with global appeal. The closing track, "Ginger Me", produced by The Elements, is a vibrant Afrobeat track that delves into the intoxicating and euphoric experience of being deeply in love.[10]
