Nigerian singer-songwriter Phaemous has released his debut EP titled PHÆWAY Vol. 1, following the release of his R&B single ‘Violet’, a song inspired by toxic relationships on which he features his label mate ‘Drayko’ in February which has enjoyed a warm reception in the Nigerian music scene.
On this unique project, he explores his Gemini ego with a touch of Greek mythology, which symbolizes the spiritual connection he has with his music.
All feels and rhythms, PHÆWAY Vol. 1 is a 7-track EP, featuring Eeskay, Drayko, and Psycho YP on three different tracks. On the intro titled ‘Running’, he serves an R&B song infused with melodic chants, expressing how his love interest makes him feel.
He follows with ‘Violet’, a heartbreak song inspired by his personal toxic relationship stories and that of others as well. He slows it down with ‘Endorphins’, a sensual song on which he sings about intimate moments with his muse.
He features rapper Psycho YP on ‘Island Pink,’ and on ‘Below’, he works with Eeskay. ‘Forbidden’ is easily and earworm drawing inspiration from Eve and her apple. He closes the EP with ‘Wise (Over)’, singing about how he knows better than to stay in a relationship that is not worth it. PHÆWAY Vol. 1 is set for full release on March 19, 2021.
Phaemous is currently signed to Remitano Entertainment, a music label in Nigeria and is distributed by EMPIRE.
