Obongjayar previews debut album with fourth single "I Wish It Was Me"

"I Wish It Was Me" follows previous singles "Tinko Tinko (Don’t Play Me For A Fool)", "Try" and "Message In A Hammer", and is accompanied by a Hector Aponysus-directed video that shows Obongjayar performing the song live to his mother, brother and sister for the first time.

Obongjayar wrote of the video, "This moment meant the world to me. I performed my song "I Wish It Was Me" taken off my debut album for the first time to my family. An experience I will never forget and one of those magical moments I don’t even have the words to describe. Thank you for your blessing, thank you for your love. I’m grateful for your lives and your health and that I could share this with you."

Some Nights I Dream Of Doors will follow last year's Sweetness EP with Sarz, and was recorded over the space of a year with producer Barney Lister. The album will also feature a collaboration with Nubya Garcia .

Obongjayar said of the album, "This album dives into the idea of opportunity and tries to explore what that means, what lies behind those doors, and asks if we’re ready for it. The pursuit of success, what happens when you achieve it, and what happens if you don’t? What does success mean? The head, the body, and the end of a dream. Opportunity is looking forward, and in that lies the question of time. What is your place in it? To know the future, or to fully be aware of your present, you need to analyse and understand your past. It’s an endless loop that continuously piles on itself."

As well as preparing to release his debut album, Obongjayar joined Jeshi on his "Protein" single last month.
