Omah Lay’s highly anticipated debut album, “Boy Alone”, finally arrived, and this 14-track project features two well-known artists: Canadian megastar Justin Bieber and Nigerian neo-soul singer Tay Iwar. However, despite these collaborations, the themes of the album are deeply personal and focused on issues such as loneliness, trauma, substance abuse, and mental health.
“Boy Alone” stands out for its enduring quality and mature exploration of hedonism and nihilism. The album’s minimalist production allows Omah Lay’s emotional range to shine through, earning it recognition as a potential Album of the Year and solidifying its place as one of the most memorable debut LPs we’ve ever experienced.
As a superstar, Omah Lay may not release as much music as he once did, but he still possesses an impressive ear for sound. This quality is evident on “Boy Alone”, where he co-produced several tracks, contributing significantly to the originality of his sound. In his deluxe edition, he continues to showcase his remarkable artistry.
