O’s Notes: This is Nigerian-American Offiong Bassey’s self -titled debut album, a blend of emotion packed, soulful lyrics on top of R&B laced music. The lyrics are inspirational without being overbearing. The hooks are catchy and Offiong’s harmonized vocals, vocalese and rap are first rate. There are hints of her African heritage spread throughout the set, a wonderful experience that suggests many years of pleasurable listening yet to come!
