Following the release of lead single One Day, Recording Academy voting member, Tito Da. Fire has shared his third definitive studio album, On The Shoulder Of Giants (OSG) as of September 23, 2022.
The album’s sonic direction boasts of Afro-fusion, Afrobeats, World Music, Reggae-fusion, Afro-pop, and R&B influences. OSG features a slew of compelling global collaborations including Grammy Award Winners, Wouter Kellerman, Mixing and Mastering legend, Bill Hare, Spoken Word Poet, Bunmi Africa, Selma, Sharnor, Aizbag and Ryan E. Peters, an eight-year-old lyricist.
The 12-track album released via Grindiin Records/Next Music South Africa spotlights Tito Da Fire’s socio-cultural and political consciousness after his last studio album One Kiss. It tells Tito Da.Fire’s compelling story of NIGHALI (Nigeria, Ghana and Liberia). Tito Da. Fire coined that name as a metaphor for non-violent Pan-African liberation through Music, Cultural and Economic Empowerment. It is themed around the historical concept of rising On the Shoulders Of Giants, which tells his personal story of rising through uprisings in Liberia, to Nigeria (his father’s birth Country), to become a consistent voice out of Nigeria. Importantly, the album reminds the culture that, “while we all call out oppression, we have to come with clean hands”.
In Tito Da.Fire’s words, “OSG is a Global African Anthem, a theme of hope and expression beyond borders, cultures and colors”.
