Summer is just around the corner (even though it doesn’t look like it as I’m typing these words) so now is the perfect time to let your hair down. Nezsa, who’s born in Nigeria but now resides in Canada, understood the assignment with her new r&b track Pressure which is everything but an ode to stress.
Delving into the anxieties of living up to expectation, Pressure is just a little piece of peace in your day. From the very first note, it captures your heart with a captivating dance of melodies. Nezsa’s vocals glide effortlessly, wrapping you in a warm hug while every riff feels like a gentle breeze caressing your worries away. What a dreamy opening to her sophomore project SOUL SEARCHING, which follows her debut EP Bitter-Sweet! “This EP marks a turning point. The start of a season where I accept the path I’ve chosen, although fraught with challenges and obstacles. But it’s in embracing those challenges, and in refusing to let go of the one thing that makes sense to me, that I find the strength to keep moving forward. Every note played, every lyric sung, is a testament to the unwavering determination to chase my dreams, no matter how daunting the journey may appear. For in the pursuit of music, I discover not only my truest self but also the boundless possibilities that lie beyond the horizon of doubt”, Nezsa shares.
Life and society might throw all sorts of expectations at us, but this song? It’s the perfect antidote. It’s a reminder to breathe, to find your rhythm, and to let go of all the unnecessary stress. So, next time you feel the weight of the world, just hit play on Pressure and let its elegant, delicate charm whisk you away to a place of pure, unbothered bliss.
