Prins Obi's fourth long play is a quarantine/depression/one-man-band/home-made album, recorded during the two long athenian lockdowns. Composed, produced, performed (with the exception of a few special guests) and engineered in its entirety by Obi himself (with Todd Rundgren and Stevie Wonder as inspiration), this new LP marks his entrance in the bedroom-musician universe and gives him the chance to experiment with new sounds and ideas. 
It's the end of the civilisation as we know it and the beginning of a new era... Prins Obi invites us to his personal playground and invents an alternate reality where you can taste the sounds, hear the colours and overcome your pain and obstacles through creativity and honesty. This is not a statement, just a shield.

You Bring Me Moonlight

Lyrics:
give it time and maybe learn to shine
let your life blessed with your passions
step outside, crawling back inside
there's no pride left in this madhouse
learn to fall, now you're on your own
the love of your life is the girl next door
break the vows, survive anyhow
all is dream, all is forgotten

exposing all your silver babies
out on the desert shore
place them on the crimson carpet
that lies on the ocean floor

give it time, maybe learn to smile
all your life, roaming through darkness
I could see the design, hear your muted cries
telling lies, prepare some confessions

exposing all your silver babies
out on the desert shore
place them on the crimson carpet
all in a row, all in a row

The Warmest Colour

We dance to the cosmic rhythm. We two people, unclassifiable, outcasts of everywhere, welcomed anywhere. We dance. Let us pass through this universe by our own beat. Let us shed the machinery of our collective history and dance naked into the future, unafraid, ready to transform, ready to be...

Beta Bop

In The Womb

slipped in a cargo ship, feeling the boost
those hollow artefacts are not for reuse
I’m on a pedestal, here is the void
compliance and compromise I want to avoid

down to the valley of the beast
