ZeXzy Makes A Huge Impression On Catchy New Anthem “Obsession”

Published

on

One of the music scene’s hottest new talents, ZeXzy has returned with his brand-new single, “Obsession”, which features Natasha Gartner. Born and raised in Benin City, Nigeria, and now based in Lagos, ZeXzy made his huge music debut only last year but has already firmly established himself as an artist with a huge future ahead. An independent artist, ZeXzy has quickly accumulated millions of streams, including two million streams on Spotify alone for last year’s hit single “My Mind”, and he looks set to reach even greater heights with new release “Obsession”.

With catchy melodies, an infectious hook and hypnotising silky-smooth vocals from featured artist Natasha Gartner, the track has all the right elements to be another hit for ZeXzy and proves just why he’s one to watch. Speaking further on the new release, ZeXzy says, “I have always wanted to make a track about a girl who’s obsessing over a guy. I had this experience where a girl in my class would stare at me non-stop, and my friends would tell me, ‘look this girl never stops staring at you.’ 

“On one fateful day I left the class, and on my way back she had come out of the class, and in a desperate bid to not look at me, she got distracted from her walking pattern, tripped and fell into the gutter, and I had to quickly help her up. She was so embarrassed but the deed had been done. Now I always had that story in mind and kept it in my subconscious that I would make music out of this one day.” 

“Obsession” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://onerpm.link/194466020470.

FRGN-SPCMN’s RIDE AROUND THE SUN: A Masterpiece of Sound, Reflection, and Emotional Depth

Published

North Carolina-based producer duo FRGN-SPCMN, composed of Ronnie Belle and André Jones, have crafted an album that feels as much like a personal diary as it does a universal meditation. RIDE AROUND THE SUN is a vivid exploration of life’s complexities, set against a backdrop of experimental beats, rich instrumentation, and hauntingly introspective lyrics. Known for their collaborations with Coast Contra and TDE’s Lance Skiiiwalker, as well as their contributions to Issa Rae’s Insecure soundtrack, FRGN-SPCMN have taken their own artistry to new heights with this release.

At its core, RIDE AROUND THE SUN is a reflection on the dualities that define our existence—pain and pleasure, chaos and calm, struggle and growth. The title track, featuring Mez and Ace Henderson, serves as the album’s emotional anchor. Mez’s poignant storytelling tackles systemic struggles and personal resilience, while Henderson’s smooth, reflective chorus encapsulates the perpetual search for peace and meaning. The lyric, “Round and round the sun again, I feel like I should go,” feels like a mantra for anyone grappling with the cyclical nature of life’s challenges.

The production throughout the album is strikingly cinematic. Inspired by a transformative trip to Joshua Tree, Belle and Jones weave together sounds that evoke the vastness of the desert. Tracks like “TO THE SKY” and “LOVE IN VEIN” combine earthy guitar riffs, subtle electronic flourishes, and layered percussion, creating a soundscape that feels both grounded and surreal. The duo’s ability to create space within their music allows listeners to lose themselves in its expansiveness while connecting deeply to the themes it explores.

What sets this album apart is its pacing and cohesion. FRGN-SPCMN have mastered the art of creating a narrative arc within their music. From the contemplative opener (“DAWN”) to the meditative closer (“CABANA BLUE”), each track feels intentional and interconnected. The tempos remain largely laid-back, but there’s an underlying tension—a pull that mirrors the unpredictability of life. It’s the kind of album that rewards repeated listens, with new details revealing themselves each time.

Beyond the sonics, RIDE AROUND THE SUN is a call for empathy and understanding. The duo’s message is clear: while our individual journeys may differ, we are all passengers on this shared ride around the sun. It’s an album that doesn’t just entertain but challenges the listener to reflect on their place in the world.

In a time when music often feels disposable, FRGN-SPCMN have delivered a project that demands attention and reflection. RIDE AROUND THE SUN is a masterpiece of sound and substance—a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the human experience. For those seeking depth, emotion, and artistry, this album is not to be missed.
