Feyisayo Anjorin unveils the facade of deception and pretenders in the single “There’s Somebody Here”
“There’s Somebody Here” by Feyisayo Anjorin exemplifies a sophisticated synthesis of Afrobeat and soul-searching lyricism, shining a glaring light on human deception. Inspired by the timeless truth embedded in Lauryn Hill’s iconic “Forgive Them Father” and rooted in the haunting narrative of betrayal and pretense, spotlighting the archetype of Judas, the track mirrors the hypocrisy prevalent within the societal fabric of Nigeria, a milieu he intimately understands, where the outward piety frequently obscures deep-seated dishonesty.
Musically, the song immediately wraps you in a rhythmic pulse reminiscent of legends like Orlando Owoh’s traditionalism, King Sunny Ade, and Majek Fashek while integrating the soulful melancholia characteristic of reggae. This production is enriched with vibrant guitar loops and subtle, hypnotic percussion. Anjorin’s vocal performance is compelling and exudes a sincerity yet magnetic allure, balancing a reflective calm with an undertone of urgency as he positions himself as both a narrative conveyer and a whistleblower.
Lyrically, it’s a masterclass in allegory. The impactful line, “In every gathering, there is always that person who isn’t there for the common good,” resonates with piercing clarity, forcing listeners to reflect on their circles and the masks we wear. Anjorin’s insights transcend superficial critique, echoing the unvarnished truths rather than mere accusations akin to the moral wisdom traditionally imparted by an elder around a communal fire. The Judas metaphor evolves beyond its biblical connotations to foster a broader dialogue regarding distrust and the resilience inherent in navigating such complexities.
What distinguishes “There’s Somebody Here” is its adept pairing of thematically rich content with infectious musicality. It is a cautionary tale woven into its sonic landscape, prompting introspection alongside an immersive rhythmic experience, fostering a desire for repeated listening.
Feyisayo Anjorin’s latest single accentuates his diverse artistic capabilities, positioning him not only as a musician but also as a screenwriter, novelist, and songwriter unafraid to dissect the intricacies of societal norms. Ultimately, the composition stands as an audacious reminder there’s always somebody lurking in the shadows, urging listeners to awaken not only to new possibilities but also to the stark realities that frequently lie hidden behind the familiar facade.

Michael Soul hides from being open with new release “Hiding”
Michael Soul’s new single, “Hiding,” is a dark, hypnotic electronic track that takes listeners to a private place in their minds where they are alone, thinking, and feeling upset. “Hiding” was written when the author was very lonely. Michael Soul turns days of being alone, when silence seemed to last forever, and connection seemed impossible, into an immersive sound.
Andrea Mastroiacovo’s polished work makes the single even better, clarifying and deepening the song’s dark mood. The production carefully reflects that emotional weight with simple textures and dark electronic sounds that make you feel like you’re alone with your thoughts.
“Hiding” is a song about feeling alone, scared, and wanting to hide from being open. It asks questions that are quiet but sharp, like why do we hide what we feel? How does fear ruin love? And can we stop going in circles of misunderstanding and emotional distance? These echoes linger long after the track ends, prolonging the sound.
