Omah Lay’s debut album is a pot full of gems. A gifted songwriter, as proven in his several chart topping singles, collaborations and pair of EPs released in 2020—Get Layd and What Have We Done— it remained to be seen if the Nigerian Afro-fusion artist could replicate this success across a full album. Boy Alone’s 14 tracks set any doubts aside. Each track combines biography with fantasy, earnest songwriting and mannered, though seductive singing, whether about heartbreaks or childhood ambitions, carnal pleasures or his bouts with depression.

Lyrics

You know I'm just tryna have fun tonight, you know?
Ain't nobody judging anybody
Everybody is beautiful tonight
You feel me?
'Cause you know
You know
My body dey for Adamawa (Wa-wa, wa-wa, wa-wa, wa-wa)
My head e dey for jigawa (Wa-wa, wa-wa, wa-wa, woah-woah woah-woah)
My matter e full for nkom, kom, kom, kom wah
My heart carry too much ngwo, ngwo, ngwo, ngwo, ngwo, ngwo, ngwo ah
Girlie come show me how to love
We get married no divorce
It's just you and I endorse
All these diamonds ain't enough
My girlie come show me how to love
(Show me, show me, show me)
It's just you and I endorse
We get married no divorce
All these diamonds ain't enough (All thesе diamonds ain't enough)
I've been trying, shawty
Trust me, I fuck with you
But I no bеlieve say you go fit to solve my issues
(Ah, ah-yiy, ah-yiy)
You know na kcee wey sing Limpopo
My motor dey for Ikoku
Chop my money intoto
Omotena hit my agogo go
I know wetin dey your kom kom
If you no give me I go Kolo
I get the spirit of ashewo
Port Harcourt boy Isaac Boro
Girlie come show me how to love
We get married no divorce
It's just you and I endorse
All these diamonds ain't enough (No)
My girlie come show me how to love
(Show me, show me, show me)
It's just you and I endorse
We get married no divorce
All these diamonds ain't enough (All these diamonds ain't enough)
