Nigerian singer and producer, Tay Iwar releases his R&B and soul influenced EP dubbed “Wonderful”.
On “Wonderful”, the five-track EP that follows April 2025’s ‘Reflection Station’, the singer-songwriter goes above and beyond to use his heritage as a touchstone for introspection.
“No gree for them again/That’s how I do my thing”, he advises on “Do Your Thing”, an intoxicating invocation to find one’s path. He delicately obfuscates his native Tiv language on “Wonderful”, the project’s titular track, in praise of a romantic interest as though he’s summoning a goddess.
As much as “Wonderful” is defined by Tay‘s quest to connect to heritage, the artist can’t help but concern himself with elemental worries like a desire for connection. “I’ll be looking for more/You’re bad for me and I know”, he admits on “Find A Way”. It’s that same impulse to throw caution to the wind that powers project closer “NEXT2U”, an earnest yet throbbing confessional that showcases the singer’s astute understanding of our shared human impulses even as he tethers himself to his culture.
