Nissi Ogulu is here to stay. Her latest song Familiar, a track produced by Chopstix is a mix of afro pop and funk following her 2016 Fela-esque song, Pay Attention.
On Familiar, Nissi hints on getting away from negativity, frustration and being taken advantage of. The song tells on a need for change and focus on positive things.
The track Familiar isn`t hard to decipher though, it was artistically composed as a message. In the intro, she sings “ready or not here I come” a motto that signifies taking on the world with her music.
Familiar is an outlet to put her downsides aside and focus on trying to get closer to a place of familiarity between herself and supporters of her music.
The brilliant fusion of afro pop, jazz and even sampling some other genres of music tells on Nissi`s style of music. It`s a song that fits where it should in the mood that it should. This jam is bound to increase the awareness of her music in Nigeria and beyond.
