Lola Wild Drops Bittersweet Single ‘Jump The Gun’
Emerging as a siren of modern melancholia, Lola Wild steps into the limelight with her latest single, “Jump The Gun.”
Nestled somewhere between the cinematic allure of Lana Del Rey and the avant-garde edge of St. Vincent, Wild crafts a soundscape that feels both hauntingly intimate and tragically beautiful.
“Jump The Gun” opens with a cascade of shimmering bells, floating and morphing like distant fireflies against the night. It’s a dreamlike introduction that instantly captivates, drawing the listener into a space where vulnerability and desire intertwine. Then, like a spotlight breaking through the haze, Wild’s luminous voice emerges—rich, soulful, and dripping with raw emotion. Her delivery is effortlessly magnetic, commanding attention with every note.
Lyrically, the track delves into the complexities of love, loss, and self-sabotage. “Slip and fall every time,” she laments, laying bare the cyclical nature of her emotional struggles. Lines like “Waiting for this ball to drop / And make a loud annoying sound” hit with gut-wrenching honesty, while the heartbreaking confession, “I don’t know if I can heal anymore,” resonates with a quiet, aching sadness. Each lyric feels like a glimpse into Wild’s inner world—a space where hope and heartbreak coexist in fragile harmony.
As the track unfolds, Wild’s plea to a distant lover—“Please just say what’s on your mind”—echoes with longing, her voice weaving between strength and vulnerability. Yet, beneath the pain lies a yearning for the familiar comfort of a love that’s both toxic and intoxicating: “Pull me back into your arms / And say you’ll try.” It’s a bittersweet dance between desire and disillusionment, delivered with a velvety elegance that lingers long after the final note.
As the song reaches its ethereal conclusion, layered harmonies and sweet synth-pop motifs fade into the distance, leaving a sense of longing that’s impossible to shake. With “Jump The Gun,” Lola Wild has not only captured our hearts but left us yearning for more—a tantalizing glimpse of what’s to come in Lost Signal. Blending old Hollywood glamour with contemporary vulnerability, Wild proves she’s a starlet on the rise, and this is only the beginning of her enchanting journey.
Serving as a teaser for her upcoming EP Lost Signal, this track is a bittersweet invitation into Wild’s world of heartbreak, longing, and self-reflection.

As if dropping a three-pack project filled with bangers was not eye-catching enough, Burgeoning Ghanaian talent NSRB Dray has served another masterpiece with the release of his new single “Eye for Eye.”
Known for singing from raw emotions, NSRB Dray takes it a step further in this new release where he talks about being in a state of despair and self-doubt.
However, there’s no doubt about his intentions on the record. NSRB Dray goes in hard from the first beat drop on the YNT Deezy-produced track.
On “Eye for Eye,” he glides on the boppy instrumentals for two minutes straight, highlighting the world’s abundance of greed, unforgiveness, ego, and pride.
He opens with his version of the famous Mahatma Gandhi saying, “An eye for an Eye leaves the world blind,” before letting his baritone vocals shine through what can pass a “here’s how the world works” pep talk to the listeners.
The record boasts of superior rawness draped around melodious saxophone sounds by Sam Aryee, missing in so many fine-tuned street-preaching jams lately. NSRB Dray’s delivery stands out as the lyrics pierce the ears and hearts of the listeners to nod and note down.
He shared the reason for his choice of lyrics exclusively to Amplify Ghana, stating that his never-give-up spirit pushed him to send a message of hope to his audience.
“Eye for Eye is a music piece written in a state of disrepair and self-doubt. It talks about not giving up and staying well composed in every situation,” he explained.
After dropping “PLAN B” which touched on a similar subject matter, last year, this new release could easily pass as his master plan, but the singer’s unpredictability and versatility means fans can expect different sounds from him.
“Eye for Eye,” is NSRB Dray’s 2025 welcome message. It was mixed by the singer and mastered by talented sound engineer QID Korle.
