I’ve been drinking more alcohol for the past five days…

“Did you check on me, now, did you look for me?” Hey, let’s dance or listen! 💃 Encore.

That Groove

She has got all this Nigerian vibe in her introspective song. A first time listening, and one goes,” Another of the Nigerians”. You know Nigerians are up there when it comes to music but also sounds like one. Guess what? She is Labianca, a US-based Cameroonian aged just 22 and singing her new song “People” which is a song laden with many issues that caught my attention. Just 22 and singing heavy stuff. You need to listen to this song. In fact, listen just now.

From the voice, I thought it was a male singing but no, it’s a young girl singing big issues. This are the issues that caught my attention.

Friendship

What’s friendship anyway? It’s “a wonderful gift that each of us is able to give and receive”. It’s supposed to be more “precious with the passing of time”. In the song she says no one checks up on her for the past five days. Be a better friend. By talking to myself too, you will make someone’s life better and burden lighter. Five days really and no one is checking on you! Just don’t dance but also pay attention to what she is saying. Agreed?

One commenter said,” this song keeps me sane through these tough times. Things will get better.” Let’s put in the work people, though sometimes we feel very busy.

Mental health

Whether one agrees or not this subject is a craze around the world, a painful one though. It’s real and you don’t have to be poor, unpopular, and beautiful or not, if at all there is ugly in that twisted mind of yours. This subject is a respecter of no man. But you know, mental illness can be fought successfully. She says she has been drinking for the past 5 days without anybody checking on her. Dear people, on day two seek help, if not day three and at worst day five. Push yourself, do it for yourself. I like where she says “smoking banga”, so groovy, not so? I said listen to the song! Watch out people, “banga”, mental sickness, alcohol misuse can finish you too.

Before you are finished, take a listen and a dance of course not forgetting meditating on this piece of lyrical genius.
