Bubbly, luscious and relatable, ‘Talk 2 Me’ is as good as they come. Wrapped in a contemporary Afropop sentiment, the record builds its alluring character on a bed of bouncy and synthetic matter, balanced between hyper-pop and Afrobeat sensibilities. The best of both worlds: Omi Rayi successfully blurs the line in the intercontinental pop landscape, infusing Nigerian chart-topping stylings with Western influences.
The result is a light, dancy and uplifting gem, at least in its sonic livery. Lyrically, Rayi delves into deeper territories, exploring the hardship of a troubled love connection and the playful dynamics around it. As she explains: “I feel privileged to be making music in such a pivotal time for Afrobeat music, and this song is a great way for me to introduce the vibes I’m bringing”.
A renowned musical authority in her home country – Nigeria – Omi now looks to establish herself in the international landscape. Judging by what we heard, that won’t be difficult, her music is truly good.
