He said: “The songs on that EP are basic, from the place of love, birth and failure. The first song is titled ‘Shayo’. ‘Shayo’ is an amazing song. It’s just about experiencing all the bad things and having fun. The second song is ‘For your Head’. I am a Bayelsa man, that is why my ancestors liked ‘shayo’. The song encourages drinking and having fun.”
One of the songs on his EP, ‘Ebiteinye’, in his dialect, translates to the most beautiful thing. According to the artist, the song is important as it reflects the people in his life who have supported and loved him.
It gave an insight into how the title ‘Pointless Attraction’ came about.
“While working on the EP, a lot of song titles came to mind, but this title came to mind: ‘Pointless Attraction.’ It wasn’t something that took me that long to discover. It was something that just happened. I liked how it felt. My label was able to help me push it.”
