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
Soso take my pain away
Soso take my pain
Soso take my pain away
Soso take my pain (pain, pain, pain)
Soso take my pain away (take my pain)
Soso take my pain away (please, come take my pain away)
Soso take my pain away
Soso take my pain (mad)
Ahn, ahn
All of the things them talk, I no dey hear, hear
Try wetin I do if you no dey fear, fear
One mind dey tell me to disappear, 'pear
Soso come and help me oh 'cause I don pray
Maami, I don break commandment
I can't stay for one place
For God sake, oh my dear
Come take my pain away from me, oh
Soso take my pain away (take-take, take, take-take)
Soso take my pain (soso, please, come take my pains away)
Soso take my pain away (soso, soso, soso)
Soso take my pain
Shibiri, shibiri, shibiri, uh
They are talkin' shi-shibiri
Water no get enemy
'Til you fall for Oshimiri
I poto poto my eyes
Ten shots
High rise
Touch God
I cry
Offshore
Cut my dreadlocks
Girlie, me, I don pray
Maami, I don break commandment
I can't stay for one place
For God sake, oh my dear
Come and ginger me
Only you dey feel my pains
Give me vitamins wey go take these pains away
Soso oh, soso, soso, oh
Soso take my pain away (take-take, take, take-take)
Soso take my pain (soso, please, come take my pains away)
Soso take my pain away (so, so, so-so)
Soso take my pain away (take my pain)
Soso take my pain away (take my pain away)
Soso take my pain
Soso take my pain away
Soso take my pain
