Wise Kenny makes return with Oremi.
As a custom, Afrobeats is built on rhythm, soul, and storytelling, and Wise Kenny is tapping into all three with Oremi, his latest release that abstractly brain brawls his emotional tide for love.
The Nigerian artiste is steadily making his space in the fusion scene with a rile for heartfelt narratives about longing, doubt, and the delicate push-and-pull of relationships.
Oremi, which translates to “My Friend” in Yoruba is a confessional pyramid of infectious melodies moduled in heavy drums.
“Those early days of love, when you’re unsure if the person you’re falling for feels the same way, that’s what this song is about,” Wise Kenny says. “It’s vulnerable, but it’s also honest. Love isn’t always a straight path, and Oremi captures that struggle.”
Produced by a team of hitmakers who understand the heartbeat of Afrobeats, the track blends traditional African percussion with the trendy traps, making it a groove-heavy anthem that still tugs at the heartstrings. It’s a smooth fusion of the old and the new, deeply rooted in Afrobeats but has a touch of premium universal language of R&B and Dancehall.
Wise Kenny, originally from Imo State, has been drawing comparisons to some of the genre’s heavyweights, but he’s not just another voice in the crowd.
Notably, his sound pulls from the legacies of legends like Fela, Burna Boy, Wizkid amongst others. Yet, he remains in his own world, driven by his personal experiences and family background.
To sum up his adorable unflinching taste, Kenny’s sound explores the ruse of love, endurance, and self-discovery, which is a notable guide material to every aspiring music star.
With Oremi, Wise Kenny continues to increase his call to fame and why he’s one to watch out for. It is an anthem for anyone who’s ever questioned love but still chose to chase it.
