Released in 2020, Rema’s single “Alien” is less about Afrobeats rhythm and more about embracing the nonconformist spirit. It captures that feeling of being a bit of an outsider, which many of us can relate to. This song stands out because it shows off his versatility and his love for Trap and Hip-Hop.
“Alien” is all about embracing your unique place in the music world. The title isn’t about aliens from outer space; it’s more about that sense of being misunderstood.
