SIGNS 03:27
My lady never let me go Seems like we been here before Last time I was skeptical Its hard to put my trust in you To be vulnerable But Look at the signs now (Green house effect we about to blow) Step back and look at the signs now (Something else taking control) New chapter As the world gets faster And the times get madder aye And my mind gets sharper Can't stop that's the entropy My lady never let me go She's my home when the world gets these days I check the temperature not regular in my favorite zone why I had to open up my third eye now I’m watching as the seas rise told my lady we’ll be alright but Look at the signs now (Green house effect we about to blow) Step back and look at the signs now (Something else taking control) you can hold me close this evening promise I won’t share your secret radiate I want to feel it there’s a treasure in your spirit eh somebody tell me if everything is ending why are we always spending another lagos wedding with all the ice melting I’m been out in london sweating feel like a different person last time I was addressing these questions I was jeli still need a friend to share these things I know I been with you since I was a juvenile I got better they called me delusional no no no just Look at the signs now (Green house effect we about to blow) Step back and look at the signs now (Something else taking control) you can hold me close this evening promise I won’t share your secret radiate I want to feel it there’s a treasure in your spirit Aye Look at the signs now (Green house effect we about to blow) Step back and look at the signs now (Something else taking control) New chapter As the world gets faster And the times gets madder aye And my mind gets sharper Can’t stop that’s the entropy

So it takes power Power in the night time And it takes valor Valor in the night time Before the light shines Reach for a light before I get up You know sessions are never finished I know sometimes I hide my trauma Let go sometimes it’s hard to stomach When we work the world can’t finish Just imagine it i Know you see it you plant a seed just watch it ripple No prophecies no pop life riddles Fill my girl up with feelings we custom fitted I’m bout my business Where my heart is we’re always winning Then I remember just why I do it This ones for you & you & you & you & you & you & you & you & you (2x) No fighting us I told a story you’re partly of My friend told me there’s no time for love Zeitgeist lost or there’s no fight in us? out of place for a second Paranoia since Brooklyn New York  Maybe philly but my eyes lit up can’t stop the light once you been filled up Fill my girl up with feelings we custom fitted I’m bout my business Where my heart is we’re always winning Then I remember just why I do it This ones for you & you & you & you & you & you & you & you & you (2x) Fill my girl up with feelings we custom fitted I’m bout my business Where my heart is we’re always winning Then I remember just why I do it This ones for you & you & you & you & you & you & you & you & you (2x) This one time is for you and you  Buddy I like my space  And I don’t want no drama  Doing 180 on the dash  With my niggas out in London  Hot like a nigga calabasas  This year we doing LA Did you get my message  Flashing lights are up ahead  Searching for the light  This life  I’m searching for the light 

about

Nigerian afro-fusion virtuoso Suté Iwar presents his breathtaking debut album ULTRALIGHT, released via London and Johannesburg based label Outer South.

Set under the guise of a fictional Netflix documentary about his life, Suté explores space, sound, love and lust through this 15-track opus, which features a star-studded lineup from West Africa and the UK, including WurlD, Tim Lyre, Lex Amor, Kadiata, Raytheboffin, Tay Iwar, Shalom Dubas, Ogranya, Naya Akanji, Efe Oraka and Twelve XII.

In Suté’s words, ULTRALIGHT is “a journey that takes you through a range of emotions, from the high energy and excitement of life to the introspection and self-reflection that comes with it… my goal was to create music that speaks to the heart and soul, to evoke feelings of love, hope, and inspiration. Each track on the album tells a story and takes the listener on a journey through soundscapes that are both familiar and new.”

His first single ‘JUDAH LION’, a stunning dynamic R&B infusion alongside WurlD, premiered on The Dotty Show on Apple Music, featured on Spotify’s global R&B Weekly playlist, and secured heavy airplay across Nigeria, reaching #15 on The Beat FM’s charts.

On second single ‘ SPACE COWBOY’, Suté showed his versatility by switching between lilting harmonies and quick-fire bars, paying homage to Japanese animé series COWBOY BEBOP, alongside a verse from the man with no misses, Tim Lyre, tipped by TIDAL as One to Watch in 2023.

With the pre-add launching on March 24th, Suté unveils the third single off the project, ‘STAR PLAYER’, a funk-indebted slice of cosmic R&B, complimented by a phenomenal verse from south London rapstar kadiata.

For Suté: "STAR PLAYER" is a song about embracing the unknown and finding your own path. It's about shining bright in the face of adversity, even during difficult times. The lyrics encourage listeners to stretch out and explore, while staying true to themselves.”

ULTRALIGHT will be unveiled in its full kaleidescopic glory on April 21st. Lead single, ‘MEDITATE, is a heart-aching and instantly timeless future groove, propped up by fragile piano keys and seeing Suté profess a need for exercising continuing mindfulness, a message to himself to stay grounded amongst the chaos and distractions of our increasingly complicated lives. With staggering contributions from alté pioneer Tay Iwar and British whisper-rap mainstay Lex Amor, ‘MEDITATE’ is a jewel in the ULTRALIGHT crown and a pièce de résistance in the afro-fusion canon.

Reflecting on ‘Meditate’, Suté comments, “As an artist, I often find myself navigating the fast-paced energy of the city, feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders. But through it all, I've found solace in the practice of meditation. It allows me to escape the chaos and find peace in the present moment. "Meditate" is a reflection of my journey, a reminder to slow down and breathe amidst the whirlwind of life. Through my music, I hope to inspire others to find their own moments of peace and tranquility.”

ULTRALIGHT was mixed by Sam Harper (Wizkid, NSG, Tion Wayne) and mastered by Frank Merritt at The Carvery Studio.
