Bad Habit/Atlantic Records has officially announced the signing of FAVE.

Today, the award-winning Nigerian breakout artist celebrates with the release of her raw and unapologetic sophomore EP, DUTTY LOVE HERE. Alongside the EP, FAVE showcases her acting skills in The Dutty Love Show – a comedic dating game show with FAVE portraying seven characters inspired by the EP tracklist. FAVE also teamed up with Trace Naija for their coveted live series to perform songs from DUTTY LOVE. 

“I know how hard it is to pull yourself out of a love situation that doesn’t work anymore,” FAVE shares. “I hope people relate to the stories in these songs. I hope it’s a wake-up call to know when to let go. And when you reach that point, put on this EP.”

“FAVE is a force of nature whose talent is limitless,” says Bad Habit co-founders Kirk Harding and Matthew “Baus” Adesuyan. “Bad Habit is built on nurturing phenomenal artists and empowering them to share their gifts with the world. We are proud to partner with FAVE, her management team Tumblar and our Atlantic Records family on her next chapter.”

“As we embark on this new era at Atlantic, FAVE is the kind of artist that excites us about the future of global music,” says Lanre Gaba, President, Hip-Hop, R&B and Global at Atlantic Records. “We are fortunate to have partners in Kirk and Matt at Bad Habit who have an undeniable eye and ear for true artistry. Together, we are looking forward to reaching new heights with FAVE.”

Not allowing the weight of toxic love to hold her down, DUTTY LOVE is a razor-sharp exploration of past relationships and the trials and tribulations of friendships. It’s been a whirlwind year for the rising star as she skillfully juggles the demands of finishing her Law degree while finalizing her most vulnerable project. FAVE, also known as Big Dutty Girl FAVE, has emerged as the embodiment of authenticity, and this project captures the 24-year-old artist in her most genuine form. The songstress has been setting the tone all year with her recent singles Controlla and No Games, both of which have quickly become fan favorites and are now featured as part of the highly anticipated EP
