Rema’s Latest ‘Soundgasm’ Is A Landscape Of Love And Lust

Rema has been likened to the devil in Jesus’s description of the Hebrew legend, “a thief who comes in the night” as a result of the creeping music release style he adopted since he became something like an industry stallion. Like its predecessor, the Don Jazzy produced Bounce, Rema’s latest, Soundgasm, comes today as a welcome surprise, packing the resonant energy we’ve come to ascribe to his non-conformist persona.

On the London-produced lewd landscape of lust and love, Rema reverts to himself on the likes of Iron Man, a single that introduced us to the Rema with an affinity for culture transcendent music. His off-kilter tempo and modulation, very much like that of a Tamil singer, takes us back to the days when his sound alliance was a hot topic, and in contrast to the heaviness of Bounce, affords us a soft and immersive landing spot.

Rema, of course, spices things up with bass punctuations that enunciate the bawdiness of the single and a Bobby Hanaford directed video that spotlights his maturity and the alluring nature of his intentions.
