Omawumi’s 2019 project, “In Her Feelings”, serves as a concise yet powerful showcase of her signature vocal strength and multi-genre skill. “In Her Feelings” offers a rich and varied listening experience. The album is a brilliant platform for Omawumi’s commanding and soulful voice, which remains the central focus throughout.
Omawumi effortlessly blends multiple sounds, blending Afrobeat, Highlife, Jazz, and Afro-pop to create a distinct and timeless feel, avoiding the pressures of chasing current trends. Songs like the jazz-infused love song “Without You”, the socially conscious “Mr. Sinnerman”, and “Green Grass” are often highlighted for their poignant lyrics and strong delivery.
“In Her Feelings” is a bold, mixed project that allows Omawumi to lean into her strengths as a powerhouse vocalist and a witty, opinionated storyteller. It’s a rewarding listen for lovers of Nigerian music that prioritizes live instrumentation and deep emotional expression over fleeting trends.
