SOLIS4EVR has steadily built momentum as a rising force in the world of pop music. Hot on the heels of the release of her dynamically explosive yet emotionally raw, pop rock single sorry 4 calling with Dreamer Isioma, she returns to the scene with her brand new EP GHOST TOWN. Bursting with electrifying guitar riffs and pulsating rhythms, this project sets the stage for a thrilling musical journey for both SOLIS4EVR and her listeners.
Setting the scene on the EP’s opener and title track with 80s synths and hazy, stadium rock sensibilities, the 6-track project takes us on a journey through the heartbreak and dizzying emotions a break-up brings from realising she is now alone to reminiscing on her past relationship and inevitably making the all-too-human mistake of drunk calling her ex on sorry 4 calling. The familiar doom and gloom of the break-up is set against up-tempo pop instrumentation and bouncy lyrical anthems brimming with hope that there is life on the other side of the heartache. Proving that she is capable of taking matters into her own hands, SOLIS4EVR is defiant on girl on a mission – her collaboration with the alternative singer-songwriter and previous collaborator Cruel Santino and fashion designer and music artist MOWALOLA – and displays a range of relatable moods and sentiments across the EP.
Speaking on her new EP GHOST TOWN SOLIS4EVR says:
“GHOST TOWN is a world I created as a way to release in my life; it’s a dark and delicate story but the wonderful thing about being a creator is the ability to bend and mould things, so I turned something dark into something fun and pop and something to dance to; it’s my gift to myself, to the world. I hope it’s as healing to someone as it was for me to make!)”
Initially performing cover songs on her YouTube channel, she gained wider public attention via her feature on Odunsi (The Engine)’s debut album rare, on the track Hectic – alongside Amaarae and 234jaydaa – and her viral first single Watch Me in 2019. This was swiftly followed by collaborations with some of Nigerian’s leading alternative acts such as Lady Donli and Cruel Santino.
SOLIS4EVR released her debut EP Stairway To Heaven at the end of 2021 which included the popular lead single Abeg ft the LA based music act AmindI and went on to amass over half a million streams. Bursting with creativity and already carving out a niche for herself at the age of 23 with her distinct storytelling, hypnotic vocals and recognisable ‘Libra’ aesthetic, SOLIS4EVR is ushering in an exciting new era with her new EP, recent signing to Troniq Music – also the home of Afropop superstar Oxlade – as the label’s first female artist and the promise of more new music, visuals and creative projects throughout the year.
