Nigerian artist and filmmaker Godwin has released his new EP, Ends With Us, via Sony Music / STUDIO41 GmbH.
Across eight tracks, he explores love, vulnerability and the realities of following a creative path, drawing on Hausa and Yoruba traditions alongside Afrobeat, soul and R&B.
The title track opens the EP with the idea that ending a relationship can sometimes be the healthiest way forward. ‘Pressure’ is about missing someone while hoping to find love again, and trusting that time will heal. ‘My Way’, released last month, draws on his parents’ views of his artistic path and the advice that shaped it. Videos for ‘Don’t Leave Me’ and ‘My Way’ accompany the project.
He marked the release with a performance of ‘Pressure’ and an interview on ARD’s Morgenmagazin. On 10 November he plays a Sofar Sounds showcase in Paris, where he will perform the whole project live for the first time.
Ends With Us follows his EPs Road to Nirvana (2024) and Renditions (2026) and his debut album Atonement (2025).
From Kaduna, Godwin Gaza Josiah began making films with his brothers and cousins, founding The Critics in 2015. Crocodile, the documentary about the collective directed by The Critics and Pietra Brettkelly, premiered at the Berlinale and won the Viewpoints award at Tribeca. Idris Elba was an executive producer.
