Nigerian alt-R&B sensation Dami Oniru announces the launch of her new musical chapter with the release of her single, “What We Call It,” featuring the distinct voice of Afrosoul artist Oladapo. This deeply reflective track, produced by Rore, is the first official single under Dami’s new venture with Bri’s Lounge.
“What We Call It” is an exquisite exploration of emotional clarity—the pivotal moment when undefined feelings transition into recognized, profound love. The song captures the quiet intimacy of shared glances and self-reflection, honouring the beauty of giving language to the feelings that bind us. Whether the connection is romantic, a journey of personal growth, or a bond strengthened over time, the single reflects on how love deepens and ultimately shapes identity.
The collaboration showcases a seamless fusion of distinct musical styles, with Dami Oniru’s sophisticated alt-R&B grounding the track while Oladapo’s Afrosoul elements provide a rich, emotionally resonant soundscape.
Commenting on the song’s central theme, Dami Oniru shared, “With ‘What We Call It,’ I wanted to express how love becomes real the moment we stop running from it. Whether it’s with another person or yourself, there’s something powerful about finally calling it what it is.”
“What We Call It” is more than just a song; it is a moment of discovery, inviting listeners to celebrate the emotional climax of finding definition in their most important connections. This release marks a significant and promising new start for Dami Oniru’s career trajectory.
The single is now available for streaming and download on all major music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, Audiomack, Boomplay, and Amazon Music.
