Young Jonn’s transformation from The Wicked Producer to a dominant Afrobeats artist remains one of the genre’s most impressive evolutions. With his sophomore album, Blue Disco, he cements that journey. The project is built around a contrasting two-part concept: Blue, representing emotional depth and vulnerability, and Disco, capturing the high-energy sound that first defined his early success.
Across 21 tracks, Young Jonn delivers a sprawling and ambitious body of work. Despite the length, he maintains a strong sense of identity. His feature choices are deliberate, and he never gets overshadowed. Cash Flow with Wizkid is an effortless blend of Starboy’s calm luxury and Young Jonn’s vibrant bounce. Che Che with Asake channels pure amapiano chaos, the kind destined to dominate Nigerian nightlife through December and beyond.
Still, some of the album’s most memorable moments come without features. Full Control shows Young Jonn’s growth as a vocalist, using smooth, airy delivery over shimmering synths reminiscent of the disco era. These solo tracks reveal how far he has come from strictly beat-making to commanding the microphone with ease.
The production is expectedly elite. Young Jonn fuses Afropop, Amapiano, and also electronic influences into a sleek, futuristic sound. The Blue side features orchestral touches that introduce surprising emotional depth, showing he’s not only creating club-ready anthems but songs suited for quieter, reflective moments.
Blue Disco is not just a follow-up album. It is Young Jonn’s declaration of mastery. No longer the genius behind the board, he now also stands confidently at the center of Afrobeats’ global wave.
