Album Review
Obongjayar - Some Nights I Dream Of Doors
4 StarsHis distinctive voice, ranging from guttural lows to a glittering falsetto, is the tool he uses to sculpt out his vast sonic vision.
“I think it’s time I stopped running from myself”, asserts Obongjayar on the title track of this debut LP. It feels like a mantra, diving head first into a technicolour world in which he is firmly at its centre.
