Omawumi’s Love Deep High Life is a 10-track exploration of love, life, and societal observation wrapped in Afro-fusion and highlife-infused pop. The album blends smooth Afro-pop rhythms with R&B, jazz, and highlife textures, showcasing her versatile vocal delivery and songwriting depth.
The album sees the vocal powerhouse moving from her signature, more contemplative style to a more pop-centric and danceable sound, aiming for a joyous and “live to the fullest” vibe. It balances its themes between love and affection in “Milk & Honey” featuring Brymo, “Coast to Coast” with Ric Hassani, and “My Darling” with Waje, and sharp social commentary on corruption and societal issues in “BS”.
Love Deep High Life is a project that cements Omawumi’s grit and consistency in the Nigerian music industry, presenting a mature artist who continues to look into the new sonic territory while embracing the enduring, feel-good rhythms of Highlife.
