It really sounds like he’s stepping into new creative territory with this one—shifting to a fully English track and embracing a more melodic, spiritual vibe while still keeping his signature street-pop and afro-fusion essence. The idea of applying “pressure in quiet, meaningful ways” feels like a mature, emotional growth for him as an artist.
