Nigerian artist taves delivers a powerful closing statement on his latest project with “Take Me Away,” the final offering from Popstar (Side A). Released on July 22, 2026, the Afrobeats/Alternative track serves as the emotional anchor that brings the album’s narrative full circle, leaving listeners with a profound sense of introspection and release.
Built on understated production and rich melodic textures, “Take Me Away” showcases taves at his most vulnerable. The track explores themes of escapism and the search for inner peace, with the rising star delivering vocals that feel both tender and achingly honest. It’s the kind of song that demands to be felt rather than just heard—a meditation on emotional liberation wrapped in smooth, soulful instrumentation that lets taves’ artistry breathe.
What makes this closing track particularly compelling is how it encapsulates the artistic journey taves embarks on throughout Popstar (Side A). The intimate songwriting and refined vocal delivery demonstrate a young artist fully comfortable in his skin, unafraid to show the raw edges of his humanity. “Take Me Away” doesn’t just end the album—it elevates it, proving that taves understands the power of a well-crafted finale. The track leaves an indelible mark, cementing the project as a significant statement in his evolving discography and highlighting his emergence as a thoughtful storyteller in the Afrobeats space.
