Wande Coal – Nobody Knows

This jam moves on a moody, understated production that lets the vocal do the heavy lifting without crowding it out, and Wande Coal sounds like someone who has been sitting with whatever this song is about for a while before deciding to actually say it. The record has that rare quality where the restraint in the delivery communicates more than going all out ever could have, and you feel that in the way it sits with you after it ends.

Black Diamond keeps making music that matters in the Nigerian industry since the Mo’Hits era and the thing about his catalogue is that even the quieter records carry the same level of craft as the ones that everybody already knows by heart. He is at a stage in his career where each release feels considered rather than just dropped and Nobody Knows is another example of an artist who knows exactly what he is doing and why.

This one rewards proper listening rather than background play, the kind of song that reveals something different each time you come back to it depending on where your head is at.

Stay Tuned and Enjoy!
