Rising indigenous singer and cultural composer MOEC is back in the spotlight with a very contemplative new record called “Somedays.” This well-thought-out record comes at a moment when the listener is yearning for hope in the face of life’s unforeseen hurdles.
In the new street-hop culture, there is constantly a hunt for songs that speak of the hardship of the average man. Today’s music consumers want authentic stories about the climb to the top, not empty party hype. So the singer uses this platform to talk about the highs and lows of the everyday grind emotionally. This moving concept hits a very familiar note with those facing their own personal struggles.
The producer creates a very nice mid-tempo rhythm with soft acoustic guitar sounds and robust drum beats. He also adds a little shaker pattern that slides nicely under the tune to keep the rhythm interesting. The sparse instrumentation allows enough opportunity for the rough vocal delivery to easily guide the listener.
MOEC starts the song with his characteristic loud speaking and huge emotional presence. And he rides the moderate cadence with confidence, allowing his soft voice to float over the delicate chords. The pleasing tone of the whole melody is due to his relaxing delivery.
“The lyricism of the song is largely based on patience, faith, and surviving the dark days before the breakthrough. He sings about hard effort, as he waits for his fate to come together. His message is instantly relatable to the average individual as he drops his lines in simple Pidgin and native Igbo.
And that’s what makes this duet work; the relaxed back, highlife-infused production matches his heart-on-sleeve pen game step after step. The musical sounds blend nicely to make for a truly relaxing, contemplative sanctuary for your mind. The last one is a good piece of therapeutic music that makes a lasting effect.
So you gotta add this wonderful track to your morning-boosting playlist today. Listen now to the warm audio on your favorite digital music platform.
