Obongjayar Is The Ultimate Bad Boy in Single ‘Sweet Danger’

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Obongjayar is London’s freshest bad boy that we can’t get enough of. His powerful Afro-R&B flavour fuses with inevitable UK rap influence, making him a breath of fresh air on the world music scene. You may know him as the voice behind Fred again..‘s ‘adore you‘ or as a frequent collaborator of Little Simz. However with his newest single ‘Sweet Danger‘, the young musician proves his solo prowess.

This single should come with a highly addictive warning label. With rumbling drums keeping the tempo high, steady percussion and bass, and an overall jubilant energy, this is a feel-good rhythm. This song is infectiously sexy, making you want to move your body. The Calabar-born artist is dialing up his flirting game on this track, serenading a ‘sweet like sugar‘ lady he has his eye on. This tongue-in-cheek addition to his experimental and varied discography explains why he is the self-proclaimed ‘lover boy’. 

In addition, Obongjayar has one of the most unique voices I’ve heard recently. Able to reach higher notes without straining whilst adopting his deeper register for rap-singing moments, his versatility gives fans a hypnotic listen with every release.

In conclusion, this young man is an underrated artist who is on the cusp of his spotlight moment. With singles like these, he is getting fans hyped for his upcoming album release and European tour. His 2022 debut LP ‘Some Nights I Dream of Doors’ showcased his dynamism with some epic genre-bending tracks. However, this new release feels like it will carry a more polished, superstar energy.

The album ‘Paradise Now‘, which drops in May, fixates on finding your heaven now, in the present. With a slew of singles already being released off the project, all with differing styles, we cannot wait to see what the full project has in store.
