Seyi Vibez’s GTA arrives as part of the rollout for his forthcoming album SWAGUU, which is executively produced by Burna Boy.
As the title of the single implies, GTA draws inspiration from the popular video game franchise. The single’s cover features Seyi Vibez animated as a GTA character, while the accompanying music video also incorporates GTA-style visuals, bringing the concept of the title to life.
Lyrically, Seyi Vibez is in his element, reflecting on his journey and the experiences that have shaped his life. The repeated “Real life GTA” refrain captures the unpredictable and fast-paced nature of his reality, while lines like “I don go many places, I don see many faces” point to the experiences he has gathered along the way. He moves comfortably between Yoruba and Pidgin, touching on love, success, his lifestyle, and his faith in God. The song also carries a subtle spiritual undertone, with Seyi acknowledging God and leaving the outcome of his journey in His hands. His delivery remains urgent and animated, pulling the listener into his world.
As usual, Seyi Vibez is comfortable switching between Yoruba and Pidgin, maintaining the sound and style that have become synonymous with his music. His signature background vocals, echoing behind his lead delivery and adding depth to his music, are also present here, further reinforcing the familiar Seyi Vibez sound.
With GTA, Seyi Vibez gives listeners a taste of what to expect from SWAGUU. The single stays true to the sound he is known for while showing a more playful side through its GTA-inspired concept and visuals. With Burna Boy serving as executive producer, there is already a lot of interest in what the full project will sound like. If GTA is any indication, SWAGUU is shaping up to be a project worth looking forward to.
