Barry Jhay Set to Drop Deeply Personal Album ‘Barrystar Vol. 1’ on April 10
Nigerian singer Barry Jhay is ready to bare his soul. The Fuji-Afro fusion star has officially announced the release of his long-awaited album, Barrystar Vol. 1, which drops this Thursday, April 10. This isn’t just another Afrobeats album—this one comes with real emotion, rich heritage, and a powerful story behind it.
The 11-track project is dedicated to Barry Jhay’s late father, the legendary Fuji pioneer Dr. Sikiru Ayinde Barrister (MFR). With Barrystar Vol. 1, Barry isn’t just making music—he’s paying tribute to the roots that shaped him, while also showing how far he’s come in carving out his own sound and space in the Nigerian music scene.
Over the years, Barry Jhay has built a reputation for pouring his heart into his songs. His breakout hit “Aiye” made it clear that he wasn’t just here for club bangers—he was here to tell stories. With Barrystar Vol. 1, he’s doubling down on that promise. The album is expected to combine soulful melodies, street wisdom, and the spiritual vibe of Fuji music with the bounce of modern Afrobeats.
While the full tracklist is still under wraps, sources close to the project say fans can expect a mix of high-energy street anthems, reflective ballads, and deeply spiritual cuts that speak to Barry’s journey, pain, and purpose. It’s an album rooted in both legacy and evolution—Fuji-inspired at heart but made for today’s global soundscape.
In a music space where many are chasing trends, Barry Jhay is walking a different path—one that connects generations. He’s not afraid to show where he’s from, and this album feels like his boldest statement yet. You can tell this is more than just a release for him—it’s a mission.
Barry has also made it clear that Barrystar Vol. 1 is just the beginning of something bigger. He’s stepping fully into his name and legacy—not just as the son of a legend, but as a legend in the making. This album is expected to push him further into the conversation of top-tier Nigerian artists who aren’t just creating hits, but creating culture.
If you’re a fan of authentic music with meaning, Barrystar Vol. 1 is one to watch. Whether you’ve been rocking with Barry since day one or you’re just getting familiar, this project is set to be a turning point.
Set your reminders. Come Thursday, April 10, Barrystar Vol. 1 will be available on all major platforms. This one’s not just for your playlist—it’s for the culture.
