Orange Vibes is a song of declaration that our days and lives will be good regardless of all the chaos of this world. This is an odd-meter song driven by an afrobeat inspired bass line with a "have-fun” kinda melody over it.

Native brain (formerly known as NNB) led by Michael Oloyede is an afrocentric band exploring the rich and rhythmic sounds of the south-western part of Nigeria fused with jazz and electronic idioms.
