Nigerian Street-pop icon, Zlatan’s new single “Omo Ologo” celebrates the concept of a “glorious child”, someone who has achieved greatness despite facing numerous challenges along the way.
Zlatan refers to himself as Omo Ologo, highlighting his journey from breaking into the mainstream scene in 2017 to winning an AFRIMMA for Best New Act in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown took a toll on the music industry. He talks about his adversaries who didn’t believe in his potential, but he has come a long way and attributes all glory to God.
The song’s hook “omo ologo, to ba ti ri mi o romo ologo” which means “glorious child, when you see me you see glory” resonates with the message of the song. Zlatan also gives words of advice to listeners, encouraging them to work hard, get their money up and take care of their loved ones. He emphasizes that one’s background does not determine their future as long as they believe in themselves and remain dedicated to their goals.
