Lojay Returns With New Double-Release ‘Falling / Unleash’
17 Oct 2024
Following collaborations with Fireboy DML, Sarz, Ayra Starr, JAE5 and Simi this year alone, Afrobeats singer-songwriter Lojay has returned with two contrasting solo singles ‘Falling / Unleash’.
On ‘Falling’, Lojay’s taps into the euphoric feeling of being consumed by love. The single flows with dreamy, soft melodies and a punchy, infectious production that invites listeners into a state of pure happiness.
‘Unleash’ on the other hand reveals Lojay’s perspective on the gritty realities of modern life in Lagos, weaving a narrative that explores societal pressures, the hustle for survival, and the harsh juxtaposition between beauty and struggle.
On the creation of ‘Falling,’ Lojay shared:
“Long story short, I caught feelings and was essentially trying to capture those feelings in a song so my fellow softies could listen and grin with pure excitement. It’s a song that just keeps you daydreaming and smiling from beginning to end, and that was my intention for the song because that’s what love does to you.”
On the creation of ‘Unleash,’ Lojay said:
“‘Unleash’ highlights the daily struggle of trying to keep up with the pressures of society today. It’s Lagos living in a nutshell, honestly. It’s brutal and beautiful at the same time, and my intention was to encapsulate that in the song with a mix of sultry chords, heavy drums, and a vocal texture that just brings it all together.”
