British-Nigerian singer-songwriter Nia Ekanem brings his signature blend of powerful vocals and healing sonics on soulful offering “Feels Like Home,” a track born out of a period of self-reflection during Covid lockdown.Built on swells of piano and cinematic yet minimal beats, the uplifting melody captures a feeling from within a moment in Ekanem’s life and immortalises it within his gospel choir-esque style of pop music.
Highlighting his well-honed ability to fuse raspy soul with earthy acoustic and compelling lyricism, “Feels Like Home,” is a moving journey through the Birmingham-raised musician’s introspections on life, past relationships, friends and family embedded in enchanting instrumentation.
Ekanem who has supported the likes of Mica Paris and JP Cooper, has built a career in pop music by managing to develop an emotional, stripped-back sonic sensibility matched by personable themes.
