Introspective composer and fast-rising Nigerian singer Llona steps into the light with a deeply thoughtful song tagged “True Colors” off his “On The Road” album.
This soulful CD arrives at a time when Afro-fusion fans are looking for honest music that exposes fake alliances and deceit. Llona has been able to position herself well in the music landscape with her deep, expressive voice and compassionate lyrics. So he uses this joint to call out insincerity and ask how hard times reveal who actually has your back.
The sound architect crafts a slow-burning canvas of quiet acoustic guitar plucks, soft piano chords, and subtle dark synth pads. The heart of the song is a steady, calm percussion loop that doesn’t drive the atmosphere forward. But the spaciousness allows his vocal delivery plenty of leeway to take over.
Llona is the emotional clarity and characteristic raspy accent of the record. He exploits the sluggish beat with freedom, tossing in passionate refrains and significant words from the first verse. His message is so pure grit, and his execution is so quietly relaxing all the way through.
The poem is about revealing fake love, managing two-faced friends, and developing faith in deeds, not sweet words. He sings about keeping a tight circle after seeing what happens to people when the chips fall. He’s turned personal treachery into an uplifting anthem for anyone who’s ever looked for sincerity, with stark but poetic refrains.
Everything is perfectly connected together throughout this record for a comprehensive and extremely enjoyable listening experience. His soulful production is as right on as his passionate vocal fire. So the song is so good that it just gets stuck in your head.
