Obongjayar has come through with a double drop of new singles, ‘Just My Luck’, and ‘Tomorrow Man’. The former track has been accompanied by a slick visual featuring the artist performing with a synchronised swimming team, directed by Uncanny.

Speaking on ‘Just My Luck’, Obongjayar states:

“‘Just My Luck’ is a song about loneliness, about wanting to be a part of a crowd and the fear of missing out. On reflection, not being part of those crowds I so desperately wanted to be, and being absent from whatever it was at the time that would make me feel like the world would end, allowed me to really dig deeper and not only discover myself, but also appreciate my unique self. Because there weren’t any distractions and nothing else to do but be in myself and flesh out the person I eventually became, I also spent that time writing, discovering my voice musically. I guess in some ways using that initial sting as fuel to propel me in self enlightenment! hahaha”

On ‘Tomorrow Man’, he adds:

“We all find ourselves procrastinating at points, it’s taken me forever to write this, case in point. I wanted to make a song that would jolt me out of that headspace when I heard it and push me to get on with the things I needed to be getting on with. Writing it, the tmr man character started to form and the song started to shape into what that kind of character looks like, and what that kind of character did. At the core, tomorrow man is a song about being lazy”
