“…you’re like oxygen don’t air me”
this record is so special to me and I hope everyone who listens feels the warmth that I tried to convey🕷️🤍
“AIR” from my debut EP - LIFESIZE TEDDY
I love Lifesize Teddy (LST) and what she offers the industry. I’ve listened to her project all weekend, and I’m sold.
Yes, Nigeria has had her fair share of songwriters. And we’ve also spawned creators who’ve led with their heart and their pen. But few have given me the range and mental stretch that I have had, crouched over a desk, with her work.
Rapping and singing, LST’s all-rounder status is backed by the realisation that her quality of spoken word never drops, irrespective of the medium she’s using to convey her saccharine message.
Whether screaming her heart out as a mushy, yearning lover on “Air”, or cosplaying Hollywood’s boogeyman on “John Wick,” there’s a blatant reassurance that the quality of writing would maintain the same baseline. Nothing gets diluted, whether in rambunctious nights of drunken partying or the pig-ugly lows of tear-filled breakups.
I can get my goons out to her music, while also stealing some lines to regal my starry-eyed lover.
And then there’s the Port Harcourt in her. While Nigeria’s mainstream offering has always featured a PH artist from the inception of our modern music industry (Duncan Mighty, Timaya, Burna Boy, Omah Lay), we’ve been limited to experiencing that part of the world via the lens of men.
Mavin Record breaks that monotone with LST’s emergence and seeding at the highest levels of the art.
Does she honour that rich, layered southern legacy? Yes. Each line unfurls a deeper creative streak. Each song reveals the versatility that sits at the center of PH’s creative spirit.
I'm happy she exists. I'm grateful that she's the latest to be activated, and I can't wait to have those vocals become a main fixture of our music.
Well done, everyone involved.
