Soundgasm

Benin City’s Rema reveals a further glimpse into his forthcoming debut album in the form of his sensual summer anthem ‘Soundgasm’.

With only 21 cycles around the sun so far, Rema is the spirited star that’s seized the consciousness of those across the globe with his angelic vocal range, ingenious songwriting and his unapologetic demeanour that’s seen him sore through the charts and swoon the ears of millions. Currently sitting on near enough three million monthly listeners on Spotify alone, Rema’s been able to captivate his ever-growing audience courtesy of his whimsical soundscape exhibited in offerings such as; Woman, Dumbebi and Corny (which was on repeat all summer long in 2019).

Soundgasm sees Rema showcasing his visceral vocals in full effect, using his enchanting harmonies as an added instrument to the rose tinted London production that’s riddled with a soothing sequence of percussion, an alluring guitar lead and a perfectly paired melody bouncing throughout the atmosphere.

Rema marries the passionate number with a complimentary visual experience courtesy of Twizei, located in a Nashville style backdrop with his love interest, as the two dig deeper into the crystal-clear chemistry they share. Cloaked in an illustrious cherry red suit with the absence of a shirt as he cooly recites the lustful lyrics, Rema breaks off into an unboxed cadence as he weaves together a chain of wistful wordplay before heading back into that charming chorus one more time. 

With yet ‘anotha banga’ under his belt, Rema only continues to instil us with hope for his highly anticipated debut album set to drop soon, and with an offering as infectious as this, it seems that the project is forming just as we had all envisaged. So until Benin City’s star-boy blesses us with his forthcoming project, take some time to throw yourself into the new number - it’s an unmatched combination with the sun.
