ØHENRY RELEASES NEW ALBUM
Oakland artist, producer, and classically trained multi-instrumentalist ØHENRY releases his new album My Turn To Be King via Boom.Records. Featuring recent release “7 Days A Week” feat. Derek King and singles “Belong With Me”, “Racin”, and “All You Need.” The 15-track album finds ØHENRY turning inwards and reconnecting with his Nigerian roots. My Turn To Be Kingis an earnest and introspective journey full of determination, vulnerability, and strength that results in a layered exploration touching on themes of self-love, yearning, hope, family, love, and perseverance.
The album draws its name after ØHENRY’s last name Oyekanmi which means “next to be king.” It offers listeners a cohesive listen showcasing his vocal, songwriting, storytelling, and production talents as he seamlessly weaves through contemporary R&B, soul, pop, and hip-hop.
Speaking on the album and in his own words, ØHENRY shares, “We’re all kings and queens, we’re all royal. Royal are people that run shit have self-love and confidence. Royal is about being a boss. This project is also about self-love, as in, do not be ashamed of where you come from. I want this album to inspire people to be themselves because no one can dim a light that is meant to shine. I know my music will make a mark in this world. And to me, that’s powerful. It’s time to claim my throne!”
Ahead of the album’s release, ØHENRY shared a cinematic trailer that gives viewers a brief glimpse into his African heritage as he embraces his culture, explains the meaning behind the album, and shares his mindset, all aiding in bringing to life the project. ØHENRY draws inspiration from his upbringing and blends enchanting, vivid storylines and cathartic lyricism with heartfelt, powerful vocals. My Turn To Be King proves that ØHENRY is an expert storyteller who defies cultural bounds, borders, and genre and has the talent and creativity to continue pushing against the grain by remaining authentic and unapologetic.
