    Skyy ZNO has expanded his debut album “ExitUs” with four bonus tracks, adding to the project’s original seven-act structure.

    Co-produced with nine-time Grammy Award-winning producer Joe Nicolo, “ExitUs” draws from Afrobeats, Soul, Reggae, Salsa and Dembow while exploring themes connected to survival, displacement and the African diaspora.

    One of the new songs, “Beyond the Horizon,” focuses on the personal effects of displacement and the difficulty of reconciling different aspects of identity. Its lyrics reference fear, being “too late,” and the different roles a person may occupy, including “asylum, villain, savior, forsaken.”

    The song takes a more personal approach to themes explored across “ExitUs,” shifting from the wider experience of the African diaspora to the individual carrying those experiences.

    The expanded version of “ExitUs” is available on streaming platforms.
