Ivory Osidan is an Artiste You Shouldn’t Be Sleeping on Right Now

The wait is finally over as fast-rising Ghanaian artiste, Ivory Osidan, has today officially dropped her first project, “It’s Okay To Try,” on all digital platforms worldwide.

On her masterful five-track EP “It’s Okay To Try,” Ivory Osidan skilfully blends Afropop and Rap to touch on the five “C” themes of connection, confusion, curiosity, courage, and creativity. The song speaks to these themes deeply.

Ivory Osidan sings a tuneful song about closeness, chemistry, and connection between two lovers in the opening track, which is the ideal celebration of quality time.

The song “Body,” which showcases the connection theme, was produced by the gifted Paa Bright. It draws attention to the unique bond that forms between intimate partners. It’s about those moments when being close seems vital and significant.

This “Feeling” becomes more intense, exploring the state of ambiguity that exists between friendship and the need for something more, and eventually leads to the second theme of bewilderment. The challenge of having a crush and questioning if the other person is genuinely attracted to you or is just being kind is well-expressed. Ivory Osidan captivates the audience with her rap verse by skilfully capturing the wonder and uncertainties that come with dealing with difficult emotions.

The curiosity theme appears with vocals that have afro-fusion influences about halfway through the EP. On “What If,” Ivory Osidan demonstrates her versatility as the level of uncertainty increases.

Rising singer, Sofie features on the song “Better Days,” produced by Carl Donkor. The song’s focus shifts to courage, and upbeat, exuberant vibes take over. Sofie’s moving hook serves as a reminder that there is hope for recovery and a new beginning even in the wake of loss. Track 5 concludes with an emphasis on personal growth, titled “Just Myself.” It centres on the process of evolving into the greatest version of oneself. The entire record is like to a letter to oneself, encouraging you to stick to your objectives and goals.

“It’s Okay To Try,” Ivory Osidan’s debut body of work, is proof that her two years of hard work have polished her skill into a brilliant diamond.

She delights the listener with pleasant flowing melodies throughout the entire EP, showcasing her ingenuity.

With this premiere project, Ivory Osidan says she wants her listeners to try new things, whether it’s completing a creative project, acquiring a new skill, or finally reaching out to a crush.

“It’s Okay To Try” is more than just a try from her, it’s a statement and a welcome to her world.

All the songs were mixed by Ivan Molho, with the exception of track five, mixed by TwistedWavex.

All five songs were mastered by Matias Parisi.
