PODCAST: DEM TIMES Episode 5 – Light Off

Published

on

DEM TIMES

It’s “LIGHT-OFF” when the generator shuts down at Onuakrom Academy, leaving the school without power and its campus in total darkness. All the boys in Samuel’s dorm decide now is the time to break out for an evening of unsupervised fun, ditching the house prefect in the process without any hope of tracking them down.

How do they entertain themselves? Two words: Rap battle! But even that starts to get stale. Soon after, Samuel is peer-pressured into telling stories about his time pre-Onuakrom– after all, there’s a lot to discover and many questions remain unanswered. With his arm twisted and nothing else to do, Samuel dishes his tell-all backstory; an epic tale of life in the UK before coming to Ghana, loaded with untruths, exaggeration, and bold-faced lies.

How much of what Samuel says can be defined as “true” is anyone’s guess, since all he wants to do is be an entertaining narrator and make himself look good. Every story-telling choice Samuel makes may annoy his peers but, hey, at least they’re getting free entertainment.

unnamed 7 2

Nigerian-American multi-talented singer, songwriter, actress and producer Lisa Yaro shares her amapiano-influenced club anthem “Savage” – listen here. The song, produced by RexMADEIT, is an energetic party-starter that serves as the lead single from her upcoming EP, My Way, set to be released on June 16th. Along with the EP, a colorful music video directed by LENSGOD will debut showcasing people dancing and partying in the streets of Lagos, Nigeria.

Yaro describes, “‘Savage’ is an energetic club record that gets you hyped and gives you the freedom to let loose and just have a good time! I really wanted to make a summer record that embodied FUN. So many times we get wrapped up in the day to day grind that we forget to simply dance. I hope my record can be that escape for anyone looking to blow off some steam through dancing. Good music and good vibrations are what I want to add to the world and I believe that my EP is a reflection of that.”

My Way will be Yaro’s first project, following her success as a songwriter with will.i.am, LeToya Luckett and Mya with whom she contributed to the Grammy-nominated project “Smoove Jones” in the Best R&B Album category. The EP will follow a series of successful single releases that include “Biko,” “Domitilla,” featuring Mayorkun, and “Yaro,” featuring Afrobeats superstar Zlatan. Her music video for “Yaro” gained rotation on BET Jams, Revolt TV and BET Soul. The song’s combination of Afrobeats and R&B led music blog The Knockturnal to say that “Lisa has created a sound for herself within the Afrobeats genre that incorporates both sides of her culture.”

Lisa is an artist, songwriter, producer and actress born and raised in Kaduna, Nigeria. Her deep appreciation for her African musical heritage landed her in Los Angeles where she began songwriting for artists such as Mya, Will.i.am and LeToya Luckett. Her hard work paid off when her songs were recognized on the Grammy-nominated project “Smoove Jones” by Mya, in the Best R&B Album category.

She has recently gained success as an independent Afrobeats artist with multiple commercial releases, such as “Biko” and “Yaro” featuring Afrobeats superstar Zlatan, which have received rotation on BET Jams, Revolt TV, BET Soul, and Apple Music. She has also performed in sold-out venues across the US with Afrobeats artists Flavour, opened up for Asake, and performed at the 2022 AFRIMMA Awards Show in Dallas, TX. Lisa’s unique sound has been featured on numerous radio shows in the US and abroad, including Hot97 in New York, SoundCity, and Cool fm in Lagos, Nigeria.
