So I'm totally that person who will listen to a new song, gush about
that song and find out that "new song" was released two years ago.
Since I'm trying to transition into entertainment writing, I'm working on becoming the person who already listens to the music other people will be obsessing over in a year.
For now, I'm still that person gushing over that not so new song but for the sake of my non-Nigerian friends, I have to.
"Ara" by singer Brymo is currently my jam. I am LOVING this song and so is the rest of Lagos if the amount of times it's played on the radio, at parties, and on people's phones is any indication.
I actually discovered the original because of the remix (which is just as catchy in my opinion). Saeon was scheduled to perform during AMFW and I wanted to read up on her just in case I managed to snag an interview. I heard her version of "Ara" (which means Wonders) and fell in love.
"Ara" is Brymo's (real name Ashimi Olawale) first single under the label, Chocolate City and was released this past September.
Because I am a pathetic excuse for a Nigerian that doesn't know Yoruba, I have no idea what most of the lyrics actually mean. But no matter, it's still gooooood
