OGA – Makoko

OGA started in 2017 at the New Afrika Shrine in Lagos, when Quentin and Leo met during their first show together on the mythic Nigerian stage. Both had come to Nigeria to discover new types of music and they ended up meeting some of the best musicians of the country, among them ex-Fela Kuti’s barytone Rilwan Fagbemi who introduced them to the spiritual game of Afrobeat. Coming back to Paris, the objective was clear: spread the burning fever of afro grooves to all clubs of the capital.

The song “Makoko” relates the story of the inhabitants of Makoko, a floating slum in the heart of Lagos. The 300 000 souls living there are called the Invisibles since they officially don’t exist: in Makoko, streets have no name, houses have no number and they are not run by the local administration but by their own local king.

Makoko is the second single from Ikeja, their first EP.

822SweetCandy

SweetCandy! latest release of “ISOLATED DISPOSITION,” a single that doesn’t just talk but also confesses, opens up a very open space. The song was written right after a fight, and it has a lot of emotional baggage that most artists would be too scared to show. SweetCandy! doesn’t give up, it pushes all the way in.

“ISOLATED DISPOSITION” is how isolating it feels to be alone and not understood. But instead of blaming others, the story looks inward and reveals a deeper truth, being alone can often be a choice. The song gets to the point, shutting down only makes the emotional distance between us and others bigger.

There isn’t any effort to make things better or hide the pain, SweetCandy! talks openly about how hard it is to want to be understood while also keeping things that would help people understand you. A lot of people who hear it will know right away that it doesn’t make sense.

“ISOLATED DISPOSITION” seems like a turning point in the end. It shows that people are ready to be more responsible, grow, and be honest with each other in the future. SweetCandy! makes it clear that being open about your feelings isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s the way to be truly seen in a world where it can feel dangerous to do so.

Shweta Harve sings of love that stands strong like a Tree on “Have You Loved Like a Tree?”

have-you-loved-like-a-tree

Shweta Harve’s latest release, “Have You Loved Like a Tree?” gently prompts listeners to reflect on how we think about love today. She uses a tree as a metaphor to show that love is stable, patient, and unchanging, rather than short-lived or performative.

Harve takes listeners to a place where they can think about their own experiences and the emotional truths they share with others. At its most basic level, the song is about unconditional love, love that gives without expecting anything in return, protects without being seen, and is always there even when you don’t see it.

The lyrics say, “Just like a tree, I will never fold / I will only give, endure, and grow / I’ll hold you close, I’ll let you go,” which is the heart of the song. Harve paints love as something that endures through storms, distance, and silence, just as trees endure through changing seasons. That picture has a quiet power that stays with you long after the song is over.
