Fast-rising Nigerian musician and introspective songwriter Llona presents a genuinely sensitive, soul-stirring tune ‘What Do I Do?’ off his ‘On The Road’ album.
This catharsis comes at a time when music enthusiasts are looking for honest records that deal with heartbreak, perplexity and romantic ambiguity. Llona has earned a firm place within the music world with his soulful and heartfelt voice and songs that you can relate to. So in this song, he expresses the helpless sense of losing direction when a relationship enters a difficult path.
The sound architect builds a slow burning original with warm acoustic guitar plucks, soft piano notes and subtle dark synth pads. A steady, patient percussion loop keeps the track’s pulse moving, without pushing the mood. But the expansive arrangement provides his vocal performance plenty of freedom to assert itself.
Llona leads the record with emotional clarity and his characteristic raspy accent. He works the slow tempo with freedom, throwing in heartfelt refrains and meaningful lyrics from the first verse. His delivery is so true gritty, he sets a quiet cozy environment throughout with his execution.
The lyrical revolves around searching for answers after an emotional let down, mixed signals, and figuring out the next step when love falls apart. He sings about putting his whole heart into a connection, only to be left standing in confusion. He turns personal pain into a highly relevant hymn for anyone feeling lost in love with simple but poetic refrains.
Everything comes together throughout the course of this release to provide a whole, very enjoyable listening experience. The soulful production is right in step with his passionate vocal fire. So the tune is so good that it’s hard to get out of your head.
