ODOYEWU, My first love💕



I've been a sensitive being all my life.... too sensitive, maybe. For a long time, I wondered why i was wrought that way; why things get to me so easily and deeply. The least things would make me cry and beat myself about not being good enough.
Some psychological experts will later help me understand that It is probably a result of many traumatising situations that I had to endure as a child, which destroyed my self-esteem. What excalates my situation is that I am also born an artist; I've always been able to create my art from nothing since I learnt to speak, read, and write. Artists are wired to feel things strongly and deeply; if we don't, we won't be able to create.

As a result of this, I began to seek validation from my romantic relationship when I was old enough to be in one. I've had a couple of those; I got hurt, and I have no doubt that I hurt them as well; it's called being a human. It really took me a long time to realise that I've spent the best part of my growing up, for love. Being loved and loving was my life's purpose for as long as I can remember. I failed to realise that these romantic relationships caused 60% of my troubles as an individual.

Did you know that 80% of the cases we have in our mental institutions is because those individuals are 'in love'. Others have ended up in prison, some have even lost their lives.

Then I thought, if I don't start investing my love into myself, I could also probably end up in one of the above mentioned of enter an early grave. Love is death. ODOYEWU, Literally.... lol.

I'm not against loving or being in love; it is absolutely a beautiful thing; and i wish for myself and everyone the best soulmate. Non the less, if you don't know how to love yourself, how can you love someone else? Do you know how to love yourself?

My gift to feel things strongly and deeply enabled me create a beautiful EP-Album; that I call ODOYEWU. (Love Is Death) The songs on this EP talks about love, and all the pain that comes with it. However, the main purpose of creating this is to commemorate and celebrate my journey of selflove and discovery. I also use this, as an avenue to not only entertain, but also bri h to notice everyone about being in love, loving yourself, and being loved.

The ODOYEWU EP is is make me up an intro song, 5 songs, and an Outro song, which totals it to 7 tracks.
The EP is also to experiment and debut my sound as an Afro fusion artist, by merging various sounds form my entire my music journey; Indigenous Ghanaian music, Soul, Highlife, afrobeat, RNB and world music.
*My first love* , a song from the EP, is set to be released on the *16th of February* ; the EP release will subsequently follow on May 14th. Here's a link to presave 'My first love' .

Dear old pipe

..... And there I was on my porch, rocking myself up and forth to the rhythm of an unknown melody. Unknown to myself and to the world. 🗑️ My gaze was fixed on the bridge that leads to my hut; while I smoked my pipe with the hopes that the fire I inhale will penetrate my lungs to my heart. Oh yes burn! 🗑️🗑️ Dear pipe whom I smoke, burn it all. Because every fibre of my heart has been murdered. Murdered by my own imaginations and the deeds of men; disrespect and betrayal.  Oh yes, burn it all!  🗑️🗑️🗑️ When it is well cremated, do not worry about the chars. They will escape through my pores and valves. Dear old pipe whom I smoke, burn it all. 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️

The Farmer

I had developed severe waist pains which had become unbearable. I couldn't stand for more than Five minutes. I couldn't sit for long, neither could I lie down to sleep in peace. Kwame Brenya, the talented poet, my friend and brother, Sensed my distress and told me about the  Farmer; Kwaku Darko, who is a friend of Akwasi Badu; a saint and Vegetarian. Kwame told me, that Kwaku Darko was not only a Farmer, but also a healer who helps to heal the sick with roots, spices and herbs from his farm at no fee. Since Western medicine had failed me, I decided to travel to the Central with Kwame to visit the Farmer to claim my healing. There, I was going to experience more than just healing.  We arrived in the afternoon. The environment was serene with a lot of vegetations and cold air. "It is a beautiful village". I thought. The smell of the fresh air, the vegetations and the earth mixed with rain water was like home. I felt at home. I saw children running up and down; naked, ha...

The dirty dishes

Many children in the average Ghanaian houshold cannot escape house chores; some of which includes sweeping the compound, fetching water from the community vantage tap, sending the refuse to its respective dump, doing dishes, cleaning the hen coop, going into the bush with a cutlass and a jute sack to look for and cut grass for the goats' feeding, doing the laundry, among others; Or at least those were most of my chores as a child.  However, the chore I dreaded doing the most was to wash the dirty dishes. Being the perfectionist that I was as a child, cleaning the dishes would mean that I would have to spend a lot of time scraping and rinsing. Anytime I heard my mother call out my name to go and do the dishes, my fragile heart would skip a beat. I could sometimes shed a bucket of tears before beginning the process of doing the dishes. We didn't have a sink, so I usually used basins. Other times I would spend an awful amount of time wallowing and dreading of the thoughts of doing...
