‘Somebody Like You’ tells a story of hope. The hope of healing and finding love again even in the darkest moments.
Speaking about the new song, Lolay shared
"This is one song I really enjoyed writing because it paints a picture of love, heartbreak, and healing in less than three minutes on an infectious instrumental.”
This new single also marks the latest collaboration between Lojay and Sarz, the two-time GRAMMY-nominated producer.
Sarz first joined forces with Lojay on his critically acclaimed debut EP ‘LV 'N' ATTN’, which spawned global hits like ‘Monalisa’, establishing them as a powerhouse pairing in the African music scene.
The release of ‘Somebody Like You’ comes hot on the heels of Lojay’s recent GRAMMY nomination for ‘Sensational, alongside global superstars Chris Brown and Davido.
He made a surprise appearance during Chris Brown’s sold-out show in South Africa in December, performing to a massive crowd of 100,000 fans.
‘Somebody Like You’ is produced by Grammy-nominated Sarz.
The track is a laidback jam that combines easygoing chords, infectious percussion, and Lojay’s signature smooth vocals as he muses over the ideal love.
The song explores the themes of love, heartbreak, and healing.
The song’s dreamy production - crafted by longtime collaborator Sarz - paired with Lojay’s emotive vocals creates a seamless blend of introspection and groove.
It offers a tantalizing glimpse as the first official single off the Lagosian's forthcoming debut album, currently in the works and set for release later this year.
