Younglan's Elbow Room Poem: Review by Lengdung Tungchamma

I have always believed that great poetry should be the voice of reason. When men lacked the language to communicate what they hold in their hearts, they resort to poetry. Younglan's Elbow Room is a touring poem. Its title is misplaced. If I would name this poem, I would call it "Khadiija's Voice". Khadija being an unknown protester that joined in the #EndSars protest of 2020.

Herbeembola, with the support of Alewa House, announces the release of their song: Keke

by Alewa House, published 1 month, 3 weeks ago

As you may have already known, there are very few emerging female artists in the Nigerian music industry and Alewa House seeks to increase this demographic by increasing women participation. On this note, we present to you Herbeembola, the first Afrobeat Artist to ever enrol on the platform.

Herbeembola, with the support of Alewa House, announces the release of their song "Keke".

Keke is set to hit most streaming platforms worldwide on the 10th of February 2023.

We would love your support in allowing an exceptional music artist to reach a wider audience. Even as St. Valentine's love season approaches and love songs are the norm, this artist has a different perspective to unburden with this release.

Her vocal prowess shines forth from the intro, accompanied by an engrossing instrumental, while her message urges a disloyal lover out of her life. The blend of English and Yoruba language on this track is seamless as well as endearing, keeping you wanting more.

Herbeembola (Abimbola Oyewo) boldly launched her music career with a 5 song EP in 2021, including Soul, Pop, Afrobeat, and Dancehall genres. Having sung in the church choir from a young age, Herbeembola has been following a dream of becoming an icon of positive influence through music. She was largely influenced by Tiwa Savage, Olamide, Teni, Kizz Daniel, and very indigenous styles. Her dexterity is however not limited to attracting foreign consumers. It was well established in her last project, and "Keke" is a continuation of the journey of exploring her sound. She is convinced that floating a successful music career is her destined path in life.

Her achievements include Voice 2Rep "Top 10 Finalists Material" from a pool of over 1,000 artists.

Welcome to 2023! For us, the year 2022 was about staying low and figuring out what we want our brand to be like in the minds of our audience and listeners. This meant that we didn’t do a lot of online activities, as we were hibernating.

However, Alewa House video, textual and audio streaming platform was still functional and we have compiled all the trending songs, hits and content that kept our platform alive.

His musical contributions can be traced back to "Telli Person" for Timaya, and "Cinderela" for Olu maintain. He released his first album "One by One Hit" in 2006, and a jazz compilation, "Saxo-Vaccination" in 2020. These projects were widely accepted with positive reviews all over the world.

In 2022, he released several singles, which included "Smoothie", "Action" featuring Mai Zhafi, and "Hot Inside" featuring Orion.

He has worked with the likes of 2face aka 2Baba, Timaya, Olamide, Phyno, Victoria Kimani, Cecile, Olumaintain, Emma Nyra, Oritsefemi, CDQ, to mention just a few.

He places a strong value on the art of collaboration, which allows him to create entirely different sonic moods for each of his projects.

His latest project, "3in1" is a compilation of three new singles, which he is releasing on the same day. This project contains songs like "Yaro", "Mi Amor", and "Hustling & Balling" featuring KODii S.O.G.

Younglan - Elbow Room Lyrics

by Alewa House, published 8 months, 1 week ago

Everything you seem to love now

you might just end up hating

and everything you seem to hate now

you might just end up loving

so I am hating the president now

so that I might just love him later.

Work very hard they told us.

Work very hard so that you might earn a place among stars

and yes

we worked very hard

but look at us now,

we are monsters

but when these useless big for nothing leaders of ours die we cry

and they give us public holidays as if we mourn Stars

can't you see scars?

an ordinary councilor in Tudun Wada has more than 6 cars

and this fat pot-bellied senators and lecturers keep chasing our younger sisters,

It is driving me crazy so I might just get a gun soon

But if we all get guns, then we all might be gone soon,

The earth

has had enough of the poor man's blood these days

it regurgitates it even.

For it thirsts for the blood of these bloodthirsty politicians

so,

if they offer us guns to raid the polls we will go,

but only if their pizza eating sons will lead the way

and if they send us money instead we will know

We will send them letters in black envelopes

and watch their sentences turn into pestilence then

with the strength of every youth who will vote in the kind of peace that annoys.

and if they decide to rig the elections

We will come again another day,

and Fight another day

Protest another day

Vote another day

Fight another day

Test another day

Vote another day

Until the revolution becomes you and me
