    Limited to just 30 White Label Copies and this might just be the only way to get this release in a physical format. One of Rough trade Shops tips for 2019. Nigerian-born East Londoner gets all soulful and sad over modern sonics on his debut album Our Father. His dark sonics and intimate vocal style has already been used on well-received hits and collaborations with Massive Attack and Gorillaz. Our Father makes much-needed statements on race on Britain, masculinity and mental health and transforming the black musician stereotype.

lyrics

[Chorus]
It’s ok, it’s ok
It’s ok, it’s ok
It’s ok, it’s ok
It’s ok, it’s ok

[Verse 1]
Remember what I told you, black is beauty
Always my special girls
Remember me and all that I told you, black is beauty
Always my special girls
Remember me and all that I told you, black is beauty
Always my special girls
Your are…you’re so beautiful me
(I’m saying) you are…you’re so beautiful to me, to me

[Chorus ]
It’s ok, it’s ok

[Female vocalist]
You, you, you are…You’re beautiful to me

[Outro]
Right on, right on, right on
Black, bathed in the sea of melanin
Of all strange and unknown
We came out of darkness and out of darkness comes light
Sing it with me, Right on, right on, right on
Right on, right on, right on (It’s ok, it’s ok)
For too long, black has been a negative term
Blackmailed, blacklisted, blackballed, black magic
From here on today, we reclaim that
Black is beauty
Black... is.. beauty...
Right on, right on, right on
