More than a year after releasing their first single "Braveheart" in March of 2018, the Nigerian alternative group Ignis Brothers is back with their new single "Alien At Home" produced by Rhaffy and featuring violins from Theozart.
In the song we see the protagonist talk about trying to run from their pain and running all the way to outer space but coming back to find that the home they had once known was gone and now they were strangers - aliens - at home.
