Award-Wininng Nigerian artiste, Chike, has released his first single of the year, dubbed, Man Not God. The song, which is also the lead single off his forthcoming album titled, Son of Chike, is an intimate exploration of faith in God and the human condition.
On Man Not God, Chike treats listeners to a soul-stirring folk ballad that resonates with timeless wisdom and profound introspection. Drawing inspiration from the legendary Celestine Ukwu’s classic, Ife Si Na Chi, Chike skillfully blends traditional motifs with contemporary storytelling, creating a single that is both fresh and familiar.
Produced by Deeyasso and mastered by NewMix, the song features a haunting melody enriched by Chike’s signature soulful vocals. This creates an intimate atmosphere for listeners to reflect on their own journeys and the influence of the divine. The rich acoustic instrumentation and heartfelt delivery make “Man Not God” a powerful anthem of humility and faith.
“Over time, I’ve come to believe that my journey, not just as an artist but as a human being, is ultimately guided by a higher power,” Chike tells Weekend Beats.
