The Lagos alt-pop disruptor returns with a chaotic, electric anthem ahead of his Phoenix mixtape.

Lagos alternative pop shapeshifter Raldie Young is back in motion and he is bringing the dancefloor with him. The genre fluid artist has announced his new single “Wrong/Right,” set for global release on March 11, 2026, as the lead offering from his forthcoming mixtape Phoenix.

If Raldie’s recent Phoenix: Embers EP sparked curiosity, “Wrong/Right” is the full ignition. The record is a kinetic fusion of Alternative R&B, House and Jersey Club, stitched together with the rhythmic DNA of Afrobeats. The result feels like underground club culture colliding with Lagos nightlife at full speed.

The song dives into the messy brilliance of friendship. Specifically the kind that looks like chaos on paper but somehow works in real life. With clever lines like “The truth hurts and truth’s bi, it often swings both ways,” Raldie explores the push and pull of relationships that feel both completely wrong and completely right.

Fans already seem locked in. During a recent secret 12 hour listening session with close supporters, the track reportedly pulled a staggering 95 percent pre save rate. Early listeners described the experience as an urban nightlife adventure and cinematic opening credits energy.

Born Rex Okey Opara Jr., Raldie Young represents a new wave of Nigerian alternative music. Drawing from his Igbo and Ibibio roots, the OneBeat Fellow and Goethe Talents scholar continues to craft bold electronic soundscapes straight from his FL Studio lab. If “Wrong/Right” is any indication, Phoenix might be the moment the underground starts making serious noise.
