BELLA SHMURDA REFLECTS IN LONER
by spark · Mar 21, 2024
New school Afrobeats superstar, Bella Shmurda makes a return with a sombre single, ‘Loner’. Produced by Tuzi. A soulful exploration of solitude and reminiscence, ‘Loner’ invites listeners into a world of introspection and emotion.
With delivery in English, Pidgin, and Yoruba, Bella Shmurda rests his distinct vocals on drums, strings, and keyboards; the perfect instruments to create the right rhythm and atmosphere for ‘Loner’.
An in-depth storyteller, Bella Shmurda chronicles his journey in music and personal life; ‘If I no tell you, tell me how you want to know?’ reminds listeners that there is often more than meets the eye, more that they will not know about him as a person or an artist unless he comes out to share his stories. Very intentional from Bella Shmurda as he has grown into his artistry and personality in recent years, often prioritizing privacy of personal matters over public attention.
Adding an extra layer of depth to ‘Loner’ are the hauntingly beautiful additional vocals by Lyta, whose contribution enhances the experience of the song.
Arguably one of the most personal songs released by Bella Shmurda, ‘Loner’ , his first single of the year and lead single from his upcoming EP scheduled for release this Spring; coincidentally during his European tour including his 9-City UK stop. There is also a planned release for an LP (album) this Autumn.
Bella Shmurda is a conscious singer & songwriter hailing from Lagos, Nigeria. Over the course of his 3-year career, the ‘New Voice of the Street’ has created and collaborated on over 80 songs with artists such as Davido, Olamide, Popcaan,
Runtown and Spinall. In this time, he has amassed over 1.5 billion streams and over 13 million followers.
