Obongjayar presents double single offering "Just My Luck" and "Tomorrow Man"

Reflecting on themes of loneliness and laziness respectively, these two sonically contrasting yet cohesive singles serve as a preview of Obongjayar's next chapter.

"‘Just My Luck’ is a song about loneliness, about wanting to be a part of a crowd and the fear of missing out," he explains. "On reflection, not being part of those crowds I so desperately wanted to be, and being absent from whatever it was at the time that would make me feel like the world would end, allowed me to really dig deeper and not only discover myself, but also appreciate my unique self. Because there weren’t any distractions and nothing else to do but be in myself and flesh out the person I eventually became, I also spent that time writing, discovering my voice musically. I guess in some ways using that initial sting as fuel to propel me in self enlightenment".

Earlier ths year, Obongjayar launched his intimate party series PARADISE NOW at Ormside Projects. Having previously invited artists and friends including Kwes Darko, James Messiah, Dean George, Peter Xan, Lava La Rue and more, today will see the third instalment of the series with performances from Obongjayar himself alongside Chi, Mrley, Kwes and Vivendii Sound.
