A native of Nigeria who landed in London as a teenager, Obongjayar made his debut on SoundCloud in 2016. A few years, EPs and well-matched collaborations later (Richard Russell, Little Simz, Pa Salieu…), Steven Umoh (his legal name) has released his first album: Some Nights I Dream of Doors. And what an album it is! This man was always destined for a career as a rapper, and this release proves he’s going above and beyond his destiny. Meeting musicians from all walks of life when he worked in a record store helped him make his dream a reality. As a result, “OB” now has an incredibly large vocal palette, which he puts to good use on this album.
Don’t be fooled by the Afrobeat single Tinko Tinko (Don’t Play Me for a Fool); this is just one tree growing in a forest full of brilliant ideas, like Message in a Hammer, a totally out-of-control track which fuses synths and techno beats with African diva vocals. He goes from feel-good pop (All the Difference, where he relies on his voice to make the melody) to gospel (Some Nights I Dream of Doors), while on New Man he effectively duets with himself, alternating sung passages with rap. He later returns to his home turf of Afrobeat on the incredible Sugar. However, his music always comes with a twist. In this case it’s tap drums. As the album progresses, it becomes more than simply refreshing. In fact, it’s almost avant-garde in its sound, playing around with different genres (pop, soul, jazz, R&B, rap, electro…) with an accuracy that will blow your mind. Everyone will undoubtedly have their favourite side to Obongjayar, but one thing’s for sure… he’s a cut above the rest. © Smael Bouaici/Qobuz
