Nigerian artist Tdooooo explores loss, hardship and emotional struggle on his latest Afrobeats release, “Booze.”
Dedicated to his late uncle, the song draws from experiences of grief and the difficulties surrounding mental, emotional, financial and spiritual struggles. Alcohol features prominently in the story, but the track approaches it as a coping mechanism rather than something to celebrate.
Musically, “Booze” combines contemporary Afrobeats and Afro-fusion with melodic vocals and emotionally driven songwriting. Tdooooo uses the song to examine the ways people can respond to difficult circumstances when they feel they have run out of options.
Despite its subject matter, the song ultimately leaves room for the possibility of finding a way forward through difficult periods.
“Booze” is available on streaming platforms.
