In an industry where months—sometimes years—are spent creating an album, Fireboy DML has revealed that his critically acclaimed debut album Laughter, Tears & Goosebumps (LTG) was completed in an astonishing five days, thanks to a surprise message from YBNL Nation boss, Olamide.
Speaking in a recent interview that has since gone viral on social media and entertainment news platforms, the soulful singer and songwriter shared intimate details about the album’s origin. “Olamide is very spontaneous,” Fireboy disclosed. “He just texted me and said, ‘Are you ready for an album?’ I said yes, but I was scared.” Despite his fear, Fireboy embraced the challenge and delivered what many still regard as one of the most emotionally resonant debut projects in the Nigerian music industry.
Laughter, Tears & Goosebumps, which was released in November 2019, marked a turning point in Fireboy’s career. The 13-track album blended R&B, Afropop, and soul, resonating deeply with fans across Africa and beyond. Featuring hits like “Jealous,” “King,” and “Vibration,” LTG not only topped charts but also positioned Fireboy as a new generation icon in Nigerian music.
Olamide’s mentorship and belief in Fireboy’s artistry played a crucial role in shaping the project. Known for his ability to spot and nurture raw talent, Olamide’s spontaneous decision led to one of the most remarkable artist-producer collaborations in recent years.
Fireboy's revelation adds new depth to the behind-the-scenes story of LTG's creation, highlighting the power of trust, preparation, and instinct in the music-making process.
