Global Afro-fusion artist June Freedom returns with “Oh My Lady,” a lush bilingual anthem that fuses English and Cape Verdean Kriolu to explore the magnetic power of intimacy and emotional presence. Out now via EMPIRE/Flight Club Music Group, the track adds another layer to June’s evolving sound, blending heartfelt storytelling with rich soul-soaked textures.
Produced by Nigerian hitmaker Abolaji Collins Kuye (Rema, Mayorkun, Nana Fofie), “Oh My Lady” is anchored by shimmering guitar lines and a breezy organic groove. It is a sonic journey through Afro-Fusion, Pop, and R&B, warm and atmospheric with an emotionally resonant core. Abolaji’s melodic instincts complement June’s smooth vocal delivery, creating a track that feels both intimate and expansive.
June shares, “‘Oh My Lady’ is about the thrill of intimacy. Two souls locked in, fully understanding each other on every level: mind, body, and soul.I wanted to capture that rare kind of love that holds you down but still lets you fly. It’s like waking up to peace and falling asleep in passion.”
More than just a love song, “Oh My Lady” is a reflection on emotional presence, honoring the quiet beauty of deep connection through moments like slow mornings, shared silences, and unspoken glances. The table becomes a lasting symbol of chosen closeness, a place for grounding no matter where life may lead.
With its cross-cultural flavor, rich instrumentation, and lyrical vulnerability, the song is an invitation to pause, connect, and feel.
“Oh My Lady” follows the previously released singles “Bonita,” “DOROMA,” and “Options,” continuing a bold sonic streak that highlights June's creative range. Stay tuned for more from this rising global force.
ABOUT JUNE FREEDOM
Transatlantic Afro and alt-pop artist June Freedom is as uninhibited and genre-bending as his upbringing suggests. Though born in Boston, June spent much of his youth living abroad in his family’s native Cape Verde Islands. He often describes his time on Fogo as an incomparable coming-of-age experience, shaped by raw live music, horseback riding, surfing, and the natural energy of life on a volcanic island. Rooted in islandness but shaped by the world, June matured in the USA as a multicultural and multilingual artist, singing in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and Kriolu.
June’s genre-defying sound has made him the most-streamed Cape Verdean musician in the world. Now based in Los Angeles, he blends Afro-Latin rhythms with alt-pop, R&B, and worldbeat. Known for his immersive pop-up dining experiences and musical performances, June merges food and sound into full-sensory art. He’s received major co-signs from Akon, Jerry Wonda, Tina Davis, and more, and his debut album, Anchor Baby, became a Cape Verdean classic. Following his standout appearance on EMPIRE’s Where We Come From African compilation and a sold-out 7 SEAS European tour, June continues to build a global fanbase with over 2 million monthly Spotify listeners and more than 250 million total streams. With bold collaborations, brand partnerships, and critical acclaim from outlets like Rolling Stone, GQ, and Wonderland, June Freedom is redefining what it means to be an international artist.
