"Goldmine": Letting Go of Toxic Love with Grace
Released on June 26, "Goldmine" is Eightyeightwonder’s latest single—a haunting, deeply personal exploration of love, pain, and emotional liberation. The track delves into the complex emotions tied to letting go of someone who once felt like treasure, only to realize the damage they've caused over time.
With poignant lyrics and atmospheric production, "Goldmine" wraps you in a melancholic embrace. The blend of Afro-fusion grooves with R&B soul creates a sonic mirror of heartbreak and healing—accessible, relatable, and unforgettable.
This song isn’t just a release—it’s a moment of reflection for anyone who’s ever had to walk away from something they once cherished.
In an age of over-polished music and filtered emotions, Eightyeightwonder emerges as a refreshing voice of truth, using his sound to bridge the gap between Afro-fusion rhythms and the soulful weight of R&B storytelling. Based in Abuja, Nigeria, this rising star is not just another name in the Afrobeat scene—he’s crafting a sonic identity that speaks deeply to the human experience.
With over a decade of songwriting experience and three years of professional recording under his belt, Eightyeightwonder brings depth, vulnerability, and sincerity to every note. His work feels less like a product and more like a confession—raw, nostalgic, and honest.
