Nigerian international footballer Alex Iwobi continues to explore his artistic side under the alias 17 with “Joanna,” a smooth and engaging track lifted from his debut EP.
On this record, he teams up with fast-rising talent Fido, the voice behind the widely embraced 2025 hit “Joy Is Coming.” Their collaboration brings a refreshing dynamic, blending laid-back melodies with an easy, rhythmic bounce.
“Joanna” leans into a fusion of Afrobeats and Afrowave, delivering a sound that feels both contemporary and rooted in Nigerian influences. The production is clean and fluid, giving both artists room to glide over the beat with a relaxed, confident presence.
With its mellow vibe and catchy flow, the track stands out as a strong moment on the project—further showing that 17 isn’t just experimenting with music but steadily carving out his own lane within the scene.
