H.O.M.A And Ogranya Want Their Listeners To Get Lost In Dance-able Serenity On ‘Move Your Body’

Port Harcourt is home to some of the Nigerian music industry’s best-kept secrets, yet to be tainted by mainstream’s signature, sound, and story constraints and very much controlled by their passion. H.O.M.A, whose beginnings prepped him for a future in alternative music by way of early access to music-making and strong ties to some of the industry’s greats, is one of these secrets. His gruff but sonorous vocals, strong enough to articulate regular narratives in a special way and the perfect accompaniment for his engaging sound brews, have put him on the map and as he moves towards greater relevance this year, by way of his debut EP, The Quintessence Of Vogue, a necessary follow up to his 2019 debut, Compilation 1., he aligns himself with like-minds, including Ogranya, who he teams up with on Move Your Body, the upcoming EP’s second single.

On the Killer produced Move Your Body, H.O.M.A insists on taking his listeners to a familiar but almost forgotten territory of danceable serenity, where one is lost in the bubble of ecstatic and hair-down excitement.

A song in which he appeals to the pride and sensuality of a woman in the African way of ushering her to the dance floor where all walls are let down in a euphoric routine of body movements, H.O.M.A’s vocal dynamism and knack for headiness, is evident, especially in a way that accommodates Ogranya’s soulful tone to culminate in an ambiance as engaging as the single’s lusty narrative.
