Introducing the dreamy SOLIS4EVR, a dynamic force in the world of pop music. With a magnetic stage presence and a voice that dazzles like a constellation, she has captivated audiences worldwide with her blend of bedroom pop, soft ballads, alternative soul and indie rock. With an infectious blend of vibrant melodies and catchy hooks, SOLIS4EVR’s voice sweeps through listeners like a contagion, leaving them hooked on her irresistible charm and rhythm.
Today she returns to the scene with the dynamically explosive yet emotionally raw release of her new single ‘sorry 4 calling’ ft Dreamer Isioma (out now on Troniq Music). With each note, her vocals spark a feverish energy, spreading joy and excitement from start to finish. Bursting with electrifying guitar riffs and pulsating rhythms, this pop rock track sets the stage for a thrilling musical journey for both SOLIS4EVR and her listeners.
Detailing the aftermath of a break-up, ‘sorry 4 calling’ sees SOLIS4EVR making the all-too-human mistake of drunk calling her ex to find closure. Reminiscing on her past relationship, she muses |I told my friends that I would rather die than hear you beg, but I’m at this party leaving drunken texts that I’ll regret”. While she is trying her best, the break-up still consumes her and despite the façade she has put up to the world around her, she is still just a heartbroken girl, ghosted with no answers. SOLIS4EVR enlists a verse from the Chicago-Nigeria native Dreamer Isioma to sharply drive home the angst of the predicament she is in.
Speaking on ‘sorry 4 calling’ SOLIS4EVR says:
“This is a record I wrote as a way to give myself closure for a relationship that ended brutally. It was me realizing I don’t need to wait around to have someone tell me some “thing” before I become okay. It was me realizing I hold all the power in the world to bring myself peace, to be okay again. It was me giving myself a hug. It’s also a reflection of who I am as an artist and the stories I want to tell. I’m my most vulnerable in the music; it’s the one place I possess no shame, where I can tell my honest truths and life experiences (no matter how embarrassing).”
Initially performing cover songs on her YouTube channel, she gained wider public attention via her feature on Odunsi (The Engine)’s debut album rare, on the track ‘Hectic’ – alongside Amaarae and 234jaydaa – and her viral first single ‘Watch Me’ in 2019. This was swiftly followed by collaborations with some of Nigerian’s leading alternative acts such as Lady Donli and Cruel Santino.
SOLIS4EVR released her debut EP Stairway To Heaven at the end of 2021 which included the popular lead single ‘Abeg’ ft the LA based music act AmindI and went on to amass over half a million streams.
Bursting with creativity and already carving out a niche for herself at the age of 23 with her distinct storytelling, hypnotic vocals and recognisable ‘Libra’ aesthetic, SOLIS4EVR is ushering in an exciting new era with her new single, recent signing to Troniq Music – also the home of Afropop superstar Oxlade – as the label’s first female artist and the promise of more new music and a must-hear project in the next few weeks.
