Skales has returned with a brand-new song called “Konibaje” in which he embraces life despite his mother’s tragic passing.
By Omotayo Olutekunbi
‘Konibaje’, which translates from his native Yoruba language to English as “it won’t be awful,” embodies this idea via its upbeat and resilient tone. A lively dance floor filler with thundering rhythms and snappy synth compositions, as we’ve come to expect from Skales, “Konibaje” was produced by longtime partner Jay Pizzle.
On “Konibaje,” the veteran of Nigerian music sings confidently about being resilient and taking care of business in the face of difficulty.
Speaking about the inspiration for ‘Konibaje’, Skales says, “Life is happening, and it’s those things that are happening to me and around me that made me come up with this song. My aim for the song is to give hope and confidence to anyone listening to that may be going through it. Also, this song is really special to me, as it is my first release since my mother passed away, and instead of being sad, I am choosing to celebrate life, and strive for more success, just like my mum would want me to”.
