The brand new EP from R’n’B songstress Obehi.

Feb. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- GNI Records is proud to announce the exciting new release of the Bittersweet EP from R’n’B’s rising star, Obehi. Featuring four brand new tracks of sensual, soulful love songs, Bittersweet is full of delicate, heartfelt vocals and refreshingly original lyricism.
The rollercoaster ride of love and companionship is a thread that runs throughout the Bittersweet EP as Obehi sings elegantly about everything from painful break-ups to complicated relationships and naivety to vulnerability.

The Nigerian-born, Scottish starlet has been making a name for herself in her hometown of Glasgow as one of the brightest, blossoming R’n’B talents of recent years. Bittersweet brings together her many soul, pop and blues influences citing everyone from Luther Vandross and Marvin Gaye to more recent idols Beyoncé and Britney Spears as her idols.

Kicking off with a tale of heartbreak and heartache, ‘Oxygen’ typifies the raw, emotional nature of Obehi’s style, a perfect blend of sensationally soulful vocals and stripped-back, organic instrumentals that give the listener a chance to fully appreciate the singing and songwriting talent she displays. A delicately personal touch comes through each verse as effortlessly as the last. Obehi is an artist who lives her lyrics, something which makes her music touching and inspirational.

Obehi’s Scottish upbringing flows through each and every chord of second track ‘Love is Just Pain’ as a lone guitar strums gently over melancholic strings. Featuring an infectious chorus Love is Just Pain is both captivating and sensitive in its gentle telling of a painful break-up. Above all else Love is Just Pain proves Obehi has a promising talent for writing unforgettable hooks and chorus-lines.

Fool offers a change of pace and shift in style as jagged guitars and a driven bassline accentuate the power and emotion in the vocals. Fool feels like a ready-made chart hit and Heartbreaker shows yet another side of Obehi’s versatility with a traditional R’n’B-come-pop style that rivals Rihanna for sexy, sassy ambition.

Bittersweet is a beautifully crafted selection of soulful songs that have the potential to propel Obehi into the chart spotlight and make her a household name along the way.
