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.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi
Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.
Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.
The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.
“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
