653) Tunde Olaniran - I'm Here

What a colorful track. Tunde Olaniran is an American singer-songwriter of Nigerian descent, whose style is sassy, poppy, soulful, and completely original. In this excitingly positive-sounding song, they address an amusing phenomenon in their life- as a Flint, Michigan based artist they are often mistaken by locals to have moved to a bigger city. That's what the song's about- the experience of a performer on the road and balancing living at home with the travels. On an interview for Cool Hunting, Olaniran said "It's about the adventure, the isolation, the anonymity, the boredom, the thrill of stepping on stage in front of a room full of strangers in an unfamiliar city and winning them over by the end of the set". They also mentioned how they designed every outfit seen on the exciting music video using locally-bought fabrics and how they collaborated with Detroit-based abstract visual artist Ellen Rutt on the backdrop that creates a city-like world of 3D art. The bop's energetic sound draws from pop, R&B, and hip hop, and Olaniran's vocals demonstrate impressive abilities.
