‘Before We Became Strangers’: Kunmie’s new gift to listeners will no doubt cement his ground in the Nigerian Music industry
Steady ‘walking the walk’ of a star on the horizon, Nigeria’s new favorite artiste, Kunmie, is back at it, with his debut EP project ‘Before We Became Strangers’.
Ready to rise to the top with no time to waste, Kunmie stands out for his soft, smooth, silk, Afro-R&B vocals, and the EP is a collage of solemn, raw, and honest expressions, straight from the heart.
‘I admit’: Kunmie opens the EP up with raw honesty, reminding us yet again why he stands out as an artiste. Kunmie is a storyteller but not just any kind, the kind that shares a piece of his heart with listeners, turning his thoughts into lyrics and feelings into music.
More than his real lyrics, Kunmie has a way of infusing these feelings into his sound and his vocals, it becomes part and parcel of the experience, in such a way that you find yourself relating to an experience you’ve had or never had before. On ‘I Admit’ . Kunmie sings about the common issues that plague modern relationships, pushing people away due to commitment issues. This song, is the diary of expression and more-so acceptance. Knowing you messed things up but hoping one day you can explain your reason.
‘Majekaja’: This song confirms Kunmie’s certified lover boy status, hook, line and sinker. A different tempo, a different vibe but the same honesty is penned down into music. ‘Majekeja’ means do not let us fight and this is essentially Kunmie’s message. To keep the love alive. Seeking out to fight for what he has, Kunmie makes it clear that Love over loneliness, is the only choice for him, despite the brutality love may be said to have.
