Obongjayar explores faith, divinity and The Great Unknown on “Spaceman”
Taken from the EP Bassey, “Spaceman” is challenging and vulnerable whilst remaining poignantly honest.
Obongjayar and the music he creates inhabits a realm situated between an abundance of light and an absence of it. His command of musical purgatory and the melancholia within is perfectly demonstrated on new offering “Spaceman”, a song that sees him challenging the earth’s cultural and religious bastions, then coming to the devastating conclusion that none of it matters in the end.

“Spaceman” is a warning, ominous in its delivery but hopeful in its final conclusion: The intangible and the incomparable demand sacrifice and devotion whilst giving none, so turn to your neighbour and make a god out of them.
