Samant D’legend is out with “Collect,” an Afrobeats/Afrofusion track about setting boundaries and dealing with the expectation to constantly give to others.
The song draws from everyday experiences of being asked for time, money, energy and emotional support, while questioning the idea that these things should always be freely given.
Its lyrics take a direct approach to the subject, including lines such as “I no dey carry your burden,” as the song pushes back against entitlement and one-sided expectations.
“Collect” pairs the subject with an upbeat production, creating a contrast between its danceable feel and its more serious message about protecting your time and peace.
“Collect” is out now on streaming platforms.
