about
Ehiorobo’s chameleonic, expansive sound traverses the space between experimental R&B, rap, and noise punk. Equal parts soulful, poignant and zany, his output is as multifaceted as his unique personality and upbringing.
Though often mistaken for a ‘futuristic producer moniker’, Ehiorobo is short for Ehiorobo Igiehon, a name that reflects his Nigerian heritage. Growing up in New Jersey, he remembers being perplexed by how dissimilar he felt he was compared to the concept of the black male that was often touted and celebrated in popular media.
Making a conscious choice to embrace his eccentricities, Ehiorobo immersed himself in the world of video games and internet culture, making a sizable impact in a short amount of time, collaborating with artists such as Flamingosis, omniboi and Moon Bounce and releasing an intimate collection of songs on his debut LP, Limeade.
Whether he’s glued to YouTube watching arm wrestling competitions or burning sage and plotting his next moves, Ehiorobo’s unconventional art and effervescent spirit is indicative of his desire to leap outside of any comfort zones and continue moving forward. Describing himself as “dangerously hopeful”, it’s no wonder why so many are drawn to his boundary-pushing and rapidly growing discography.
After a year that has taken its toll, Ehiorobo is making his triumphant return with three new standalone singles (“Jay Ventura”, “Bloodsports” and “Munstar”) and an ambitious full-length project, Joltjacket. With the intent to “make others feel at home within themselves”, Ehiorobo’s new material emanates a vital source of energy, solace and adventure that serves as a reminder to us all — we can be more than one thing at once.
lyrics
If, if you touch it it'll blow (ay)
Promise you can't find this at the store
Won a trophy winning
Bloodsports
If. if you touch it it'll blow
I promise you can't find this at the store
I earned this trophy winning blood
If, if you touch it it'll blow
I promise you can't find this at the store
Ooph, yo hollaback (yuh)
Babe tell me where the money at
I ain't got time for no buddy pact
No, no, no we ain't friends babe remember that
(It's okay)
Tell me you remember that
You're buggin, buggin, buggin
Spinerak (ugh)
I shimmy so hard, lost my shoulder pads
Made a no look pass, got a polar rash
Cold, so cold, so cold
I know you don't like the normal shit
Good news, good news
AInt nobody likin' the normal shit
Cool, cool, cool, cool
Like we stepped up outta the portal (biiitch)
Got, got, got blood
On my lips
It is what it is
Bloodsports
If you touch it it'll blow
I promise you can't find this at the store
I earned this trophy winning blood
If you touch it it'll blow
I promise you can't find this at the store
Every evening
I find a way outta my mind
(Oh my god, aaah)
I might
Crack ya shit
Hit ya ribs
Just for laughs
Just for kicks
Hit a lick
(Ooph)
Then maybe I'll ditch
It is what it is
Speeding down the street
In some dungarees
Headed to the gallery again
Yeah, what are you, surprised?
I'm pulling off a heist
You can see it in my eyes right? Yeah
Every evening
I find a way outta my mind
(Oh my god, aaah)
Piano electronica! It's bright, smooth, and perfect blend of the old and new. So here for it! Points off for a Lonely Rolling Star cover but I guess that tracks with the original release window. 😆 CyanStrawberry
Each song has a chill vibe that coincides extremely well with the energetic feel of the EP as a whole. "Promise" is definitely an awesome choice for any electronic pop lovers. Phoebean
