Galactic Theme is a solo extended play by Nigerian singer, songwriter and producer Johnel. [1] It was generally produced by himself and was released on 26 April 2024 by ONErpm and Nnamani Music Group. It features a vocal sample from Nigerian singer Elmah. [2]
Galactic Theme features seven songs with no collaborations and is inspired, in part, by pop music culture. Johnel used a vocal sample from Nigerian singer Elmah. The album cover of the extended play shows Johnel levitating in a galaxy-like environment to the sunny sky while others watch nearby. [2]
Galactic Theme received generally positive reviews from music critics. From South Carolina, Sheen Magazine praised the EP calling it "a clear nod to genre conventions" while also noting that Johnel "feels those most-human of emotions: heartache, isolation, pressure to conform, but refuses to be shackled by them." [3]
A review by Top 40 news from the New Music Weekly magazine lauded it as the theme is "channeling the concept of the long play title to perfection." [4]
This Day newspaper also called it a compilation that "portrays a futuristic, outer space outlook." [2]
All tracks are written by Nnamani Chimaobi John [5]
