Some Nights I Dream of Doors

by Obongjayar

Tom Colquhoun Modern pop with gospel and soul elements, Obongjayar's breathy delivery and the closely recorded, ultra-glossy backdrops create an atmosphere I'd describe as oppressively tender. Favorite track: Tinko Tinko (Don’t Play Me for a Fool).

hexagonshoes Wonderful. Speaking to an ever-changing "you", OB explores the complex emotional landscape that comes from belonging or not belonging to a person or community.

about

Ever since an early Obongjayar demo first surfaced on SoundCloud in 2016, it’s been clear that Steven Umoh, the man behind the moniker, possesses a completely unique talent. Known to his friends simply as ‘OB’, the Nigerian-born, London-based musician pens stirring and spiritual lyrics, while commanding a distinctive voice that flits between rap, song and spoken word. With afrobeats, soul and hip-hop influences, he has created a bold, genre-defiant musicality.

Despite rich successes over the last few years; OB has never felt ready to release an album, until now, and his debut full-length, Some Nights I Dream of Doors represents a real levelling up for Obongjayar. Across twelve tracks, he deftly moves through diverse sounds and subcultures while navigating a wealth of personal and political topics.

OB recently featured on the latest Little Simz album and the most recent Pa Salieu project.
