Exactly 3 months ago, @itsreespect dropped her debut EP R is for Romance!
and I creative directed the visuals.
We built a room around some of her favorite things and musical influences. Every detail was placed to connect the audience to the full complexity of who she is: the parts that stay soft, playful, and true to her inner child even when everything feels heavy.
Thank you to the amazing team

3 months in and this is still my favorite project. Need to run it back šR is for Romanceš(link is in @itsreespect ās bio)
performed singing allahu on @aktivatedtv . go watch the performanceš«
when i wrote this song i remembered many things.
fun memories of rehearsing in abujaās mass choir at 8yo surrounded by grown ups, not so fun memory of neighbors attempting to kill me and my mum by burning down our house in barikin sale, minna, my determined and unsure self dropping my first song at 15yo (some of u kuul kids have been here since the start and i love you), having to leave home early to find myselfā¦i thought of all the sacrifices iāve made in life and in music and i submitted them to god. to allah. because i know itās important to stay light, to let go, to be freeš®
@itsreespect steps to the AKtivated Stage with a performance of her inspiring piece āSinging Allahuā; a song crafted to keep listeners inspired.
