Experimenting with her songwriting process over the last few years, Nigerian singer-songwriter Uwade has found her sound, breaking out on her own with her latest single ‘Call It A Draw’ that is teasing her new album, ‘Florilegium’, to come in April of this year.
‘Call it A Draw’ is “one of the fruits of that exploration” that started with a drum loop, a chord progression, and an exploration of unresolved emotions. Uwade has crafted an intimate, yet expansive rhythmic pulse enriched through her exploration of themes of surrender and acceptance. It is a beautifully melancholic and introspective track that blends genres of Folk and Indie and moves us to feelings of gratitude, reminding us “to cherish opportunities for renewal”.
While her voice is ethereal, it carries deeply visceral lyrics, the emotions of which are heightened 1 minute 24 seconds in through complementary strings. This has made us hugely excited for her new album and we can't wait to hear that comes next.
