Gigi Atlantis Reinforces Identity Certitude With Tau Benah and Shola Assisted “GTK”

The first distinctive thing about music from Gigi Atlantis is her vocals. Soft, smooth and sultry, her voice is often biting yet daring in a way that touches the core of the listener. Three years ago was when we last heard her on her freedom-themed hit Can I Live and a feature on Odunsi (The Engine)’s Body Count.

In what seems to be a back-to-business leap, Gigi Atlantis adds a new single GTK to her oeuvre. While the British-Nigerian artiste reprises her signature vocals and sonic mannerisms in this song, she picks her lines at a slowed-down  yet sleek pace. Also, she isn’t alone in this song as Tau Benah steps in at a point for a poetic rap delivery. 

“Know yourself”, Gigi Atlantis intones repetitively over the chorus. This works the magic of instilling in the psyche of the listener, the authenticity of the identity search she suggests. Further into the song, the artistic duo digs into the philosophy of humanity and identity, while making the need for self-rediscovery an inescapable point. Tidbits from Tau Benah’s rendition, such as “Make up your mind and don’t be divided”, reinforce this overarching atmosphere of productive individualism. 

Gigi Atlantis believes that music is a sort of magic, one with therapeutic effects on the mental state of a person. She proves this argument in the subtle, enrapturing rollout of sonic words of good counsel. Courtesy of Native Sound DJ and Producer Sholz, GTK rides on the waves of RnB and Soul genres as much as it opens listeners up for mature reasoning.

With the softly evocative sounds and straightforward motif emitted by Gigi Atlantis, you are sure to have your mind cleansed of ill foreboding, your spirit renewed and your body rejuvenated. GTK is a testimony to the ability of music to not only inspire meditation but also trigger a reordering of priorities in the journey of self-definition.
