Rema Wears His Heart On His Sleeve on ‘Peace Of Mind’
Addressing mental health with a galvanic backdrop strong enough to engage people.
A couple of months ago, Rema went on a tangent on Twitter on which he unloaded situations in his life the media had misconstrued in the past. Today, what was perceived as a publicity stunt culminates into an emotional outpour on a single titled Peace Of Mind.
Kel P is the sound brain behind this incidental letter to the world. His sweet mix of dense drums, tangy chords, and shaky percussions serves as the perfect accompaniment for a tell-all that begins with a chant spirited enough to immerse listeners at the first call of “Yahweh le le”. It’s also an apt introduction to the relatable expository Rema launches into, opening up on his position on the state of Nigeria and how it affects everyone.
Peace Of Mind is one of the very few takes on the state of the country that addresses mental health and with its galvanic backdrop, it’s strong enough to engage people.
