Omah Lay: 'What have we done' EP review

Omah Lay ‘What have we done’ EP review

On November 20, 2020, Omah Lay released his five track Extended play titled ‘What have we done’.

At first, the only way we knew it was such a good project was the very massive streams that supported it on the first day of the release.

Omah Lay is a brilliant artist who is going to attain heights in the music industry. But before we shower praises, let us get into a track by track analysis of the EP

MY BEBE

Omah Lay successfully makes ‘My Bebe’ a good romantic song with custom lyrics. But to be honest, that is not the way to open a body of work as good as this. ‘My Bebe’ should have come third or maybe even last. Omah sounds kind of childish on this track and if you didn’t listen to other tracks, you might think that’s how he sounds on the other ones too.

However, it still has replay value and the beats add to this. The drums are also legendary, just so legendary to put you in a romantic mood. Like I said, it is a good song but shouldn’t have been an opener.

CAN’T RELATE

This song is fire! Omah Lay goes ‘nobody can fit relate…all of my Nike clothes, shoes…superstar life nobody can fit relate’.

If you listened to Adekunle Gold’s ‘Fame’, then you would understand what Omah Lay is saying on this track 200%.

The lyrics perform a very good job of adequately presenting Omah Lay’s short experiences of being a superstar. ‘Can’t relate’ is a good number 2 track.

GODLY

‘I thank God say I godly, say God no ungodly’. Tell me someone with better lyrics! By now, you would have gotten a hint of Omah Lay’s songwriting abilities.

He is actually a good songwriter and like Simi, will most likely not have any bad song. Godly is supposed to be the EP opener, not because it is the greatest hit on the EP.

But because it is a deep song that would want you to listen to ‘what have we done’ severally. Omah Lay speaks on the importance of God and how God’s grace adorns him which allows him to ‘jaiye sometimes’ as God dey ‘comfort him’
