Llona’s Debut Album Homeless Surpasses 150 Million Streams on Spotify

Nigerian singer songwriter Llona has reached a major career milestone as his debut album Homeless officially surpasses 150 million streams on Spotify. The achievement marks the first time any of his projects has crossed the 150 million mark on the platform, solidifying his status as one of the most exciting new voices in Nigeria’s evolving Afro fusion landscape.

For an artist whose music leans heavily into vulnerability and emotional depth, this moment represents more than streaming numbers. It signals a growing global audience that is connecting with honesty, storytelling, and lived experience.

Released in July 2024, Homeless introduced listeners to a deeply reflective side of contemporary African music. Across twelve tracks, Llona crafts a body of work rooted in identity, displacement, faith, ambition, and resilience. The album builds a cohesive narrative that had a goal of intentionality from beginning till the end.

Homeless is a deeply personal album that explores the search for belonging and the emotional weight of feeling displaced, drawing from Llona’s own perspective and experience of frequently moving between Kogi State and Kano during his youth.

The project reflects the inner struggle of feeling unanchored and longing for stability. Through vulnerable tracks like Forgive me, Still Scared and Another Day, Llona opens up about fear, resilience, ambition, and hope, inviting listeners into his emotional world. The album blends introspection with melodic depth on songs like Cold War featuring Fave and the HBP Remix with Bella Shmurda, while even love-themed tracks such as Gangsta Love Letter maintain emotional complexity. Ultimately, Homeless balances struggle with determination, resonating strongly with a generation navigating identity, purpose, and mental health in a world of uncertainty.

Surpassing 150 million streams on Spotify is quite symbolic. It shows that deeply personal music can achieve commercial success in the African clime without sacrificing authenticity, something that wasn’t a norm and still isn’t, as most listeners would prefer more danceable and pop tunes. For Llona, this milestone could represent a transition from promising newcomer to established voice.

As the numbers continue to climb, Homeless stands as proof that vulnerability is highly relatable. In telling his own story of displacement and self-discovery, Llona has given millions of listeners something rare in modern music: a reminder that even when you feel unanchored, you are not alone.
