“Y2K” stands out in Ṣẹwà‘s catalog as a vibrant, playful nod to the early 2000s R&B era it is named for, filtered through a modern Afropop sensibility. The track immediately grabs attention with crisp, syncopated drums and slick, slightly digitized synth patterns that perfectly capture that retro-futuristic sound. Unlike the deeper emotional dives of her other songs, “Y2K” is pure, unadulterated swagger and fun. Ṣẹwà’s vocal delivery here is faster-paced and more dynamic, full of confidence and playful energy as she narrates a night out or a casual flirtation.
The infectious, buoyant bassline acts as the backbone, driving the song forward and guaranteeing head-nods. It’s a track designed for movement, whether you’re on the dance floor or just channeling main character energy on a late-night drive. “Y2K” is a successful exercise in style, proving that Ṣẹwà can master a catchy throwback aesthetic just as well as she handles introspective R&B.
