Brymo’s seventh studio album, Yellow (2020), is a critically acclaimed, ambitious 14-track project that cements his reputation as one of Nigeria’s most compelling and unconventional artists.
Structured into three distinct sides, in English, Pidgin, and in Yoruba, the album masterfully blends genres, moving seamlessly between alternative pop, sophisticated rock, synth-pop, trap, and traditional folk percussion.
Yellow is robust and rigorous, looking at complicated themes of love, survival, societal decay, and emotional vulnerability. The album’s strength lies in its expansive instrumentation and the raw, philosophical depth Brymo brings to every song.
Yellow is hailed as a testament to Brymo’s consistent growth, weaving together pan-African storytelling with modern, expansive soundscapes, culminating in a work that feels both intimate and grand.
