Fix that is the sixth song off the Duncan Daniels’ latest album titled Afroeclectic that was released right before the COVID 19 Pandemic hit full swing. Beautifully produced by Ptunes, Mixed and mastered by Duncan Daniels, it features the lustrous sounds of the saxophone played by Lady Albatross and finally laced with sporadic Adlibs from Port Harcourt’s very own Kokormikor.
Duncan Daniels is an American based Nigerian musician known for putting out rock projects. Afroeclectic represents his first Afro-beat inspired body of work, If results are anything to go by, we may see another Afro-beat inspired album in the near future.
Duncan Daniels’ album dropped on all major platforms yesterday, February 14, and our first reaction after listening to the entire project was: wow. This is a landmark achievement, as we have yet to see an Afrobeats album made and released in the USA generate the kind of impact this one is already having. Just yesterday, the album was trending on Twitter—and for all the right reasons.
The Afro-eclectic project is a 100 percent Afrobeats album, which comes as a surprise given that Duncan Daniels, also known as Dunkish Rock, has long been heavily associated with rock music.
The album, which is comprised of 10 songs, one instrumental, a skit, an intro, and an outro, features major acts like Korkormikor, MacK Gee, Lyrikal, Lady Albatross, and Speseamen A, just to mention a few.
The quality of this album cannot be overstated. It is safe to say that the Afro-eclectic album will have a long run on the charts. The sound quality is top-notch, and the entire body of work—from the cover art to the song selection and featured artists—has been carefully and thoughtfully put together. The album has the potential to be one of the best Afrobeats projects of 2020.
It takes listeners on a journey through a range of emotions. High-energy Afrobeats tracks like “Gbedu,”“Oluwa Designs,” and “Enado” are sure to keep you dancing in high spirits, while songs like “Fix That” and “Six Past Six”mellow things down a bit, without losing their strong Afrobeats essence.
Afro-Eclectic is expected to make a significant impact on the music scene across Africa, Europe, and beyond. Listen to the lead single off the album, “Gbedu,” which features Mackgee, Lady Albatross, and Jamila.

He also chose to feature some pioneers in the music industry in Port Harcourt Nigeria such as Korkormikor, Speseamen A, Mackgee and Lyrikal both formerly of Tuck Tyght – The Hiphop group that set PH on fire in the early 2000s. When asked about this decision to put the OGs on the record he says;
“I am repping PHCity heavy on my upcoming album. Majority of the artists I’ve featured on this album project were at some point based in PORT HARCOURT and have been making music for over 15 years some true pioneers of the industry, they may not be as famous right now as the Wizkids, Davidos or Burna boys but if I had the choice between those big names in Afrobeat and these names on my track-list, I’ll still choose them for this project.”
