Olummy Gold Gives us Awe-struck romance and a refreshing tale with his new single ‘Downtown’

Aruleba Olumide, known professionally as Olummygold, is a Nigerian Afro-pop/Afrobeats musician who hails from Ikere-Ekiti in Ekiti State. He has just released his new Afro-pop single ‘Downtown’, a cutesy love story with a crushing ending!

The song’s playful energy instantly hits like a drug. The fun organ piano sound, the upbeat percussion, the sweet melody, and the two-part harmonies, all combine to give listeners such a sweet listening experience.

More than that is the coy lyrics and interesting story that accompany it all. There's no doubt that Olummy Gold’s primary intention is to keep us hooked and he certainly has our attention.  

Cutesy romance is back with ‘Downtown’, and nothing sucks more than a ship that sinks before it has the chance to sail. On Downtown, Olummygold narrates the experience of meeting this interesting woman, ‘the pretty girl from downtown.’ and is instantly hooked by her aura, style, and beauty but after much conversation, he finds that she’s unavailable and taken. So the story takes a turn from admiration to longing sadly for the pretty girl downtown.

He reflects that refreshing feeling of spotting a new crush, showing interest, and the crushing feeling of having to let go because it doesn’t work out.

‘Downtown’ is one of those songs that remind us that music is always a medium of self-expression and that it can be a fun experience. Whether it’s on love, emotions, blessings, wealth, enjoyment, satire, or even a simple story of a crushing feeling of what could’ve been, Music has no limit to expression and every message matters.

So enjoy this fun, sweet track, by Olummygold, out on all streaming platforms
