After his March song “Far Away,” Nigerian musician Lordeyang enters his most emotionally vulnerable realm to date with “Therapy.”
The record opens with a sentiment most feel but few have put into a song this directly—he needs therapy. This is not a joke or a metaphor. As a confession. He writes of the queasiness of the dreams, the uneasiness that eats away at him in secret, and the private torments that do not always reveal themselves on the surface. So “Therapy” is named as such because it speaks honestly about something genuine, not wrapping struggle in an encouraging narrative.
Lordeyang describes the song as highly personal—and that intimacy is evident right away in the vocal delivery. His delivery remains naked, direct all the way. The tempo is measured, giving every phrase a chance to land, and the production doesn’t hurry past the feeling. A record built around vulnerability needs room. And this one knows it.
The whole record is the emotional weight—the hook. And by returning over and over to the fundamental request, the song achieves the sort of resonance that comes from an honest refrain, not a sophisticated one. So you leave “Therapy” with the feeling, not just the lyrics. That’s the difference between a confessional album and a performance pretending to be one.
His following on Audiomack (over 100K) proves that he already has a loyal fanbase. That foundation was laid with records like “Forgive Me,” “Why” with Jeriq, and “Balloteli” featuring Rord Kelly. But ‘Therapy’ is by far the most personal entry in that run.
You can listen to “Therapy” on Audiomack and Spotify. Did Lordeyang speak what you needed to hear today?
