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.

Sid Dorey’s Middle Seat Is the Soundtrack to Surviving Your Twenties

If your twenties feel like a long, weird road trip with no GPS signal, Middle Seat is the album playing on loop from the auxiliary cord.

With their second EP, rising indie pop artist Sid Dorey has crafted something that sounds like growing pains, healing hugs, and that one late-night car ride where everything almost makes sense. Drawing on personal experiences with loss, strained family ties, and the complexities of queer love, Dorey’s latest project is a time capsule for a generation trying to piece itself together — without a manual.

Dorey’s lyricism is unflinching. On Unlovable, they take on the voice in your head that tells you you’re too broken to be loved. On What Comes With Heaven, they confront the fallout of religious trauma with eerie grace, creating a track that feels both sacred and defiant. These aren’t just songs — they’re survival anthems.

But it’s not all shadows. Middle Seat offers just as much warmth as it does weight. It’s about choosing who’s in your life. You can’t control everything, but you can control who’s around you. That’s power.

That message resonates deeply with their growing fanbase, many of whom first found Dorey through their viral TikTok performances — stripped-down moments of vulnerability that mirror the intimacy of the EP. Their authenticity has led to placements on Spotify’s New Music Friday and Apple’s New in Indie, but it’s clear Dorey is after something bigger than numbers: connection.

Sid Dorey isn’t just part of the next wave of indie pop — they’re shaping its emotional language. Middle Seat doesn’t pretend to fix everything, but it does something better: it reminds you that you’re not alone in the mess.

So next time you’re stuck in life’s middle seat, turn this on. It won’t solve your problems — but it might just help you stay.
