Caeli August returns with “I Was Sent,” a darkly poetic Afrotrap-R&B fusion produced by NuVox and written by Aime Pandi Bapaga. What begins as a mission of betrayal unravels into a quiet confession — a war between duty and love, control and surrender. Lush piano chords, ghostly harmonies, and gentle Afrotrap percussion wrap around Caeli’s intimate vocal delivery in this haunting dream of a song.

Title: I Was Sent
Lyrics: Aime Pandi Bapaga

I wasn’t meant to feel this much —
Just meant to touch, then go.
Trace the fracture in your dreams,
Turn your fire down low.
They told me you would rise,
Your name lit up the skies.
So I learned your favorite songs
And slipped beneath your lies.

You laughed like a man who didn’t know
He was dancing on borrowed time.
I was trained to bend your will…
But now I’m swallowing mine.

I was sent to steal your crown,
To slow your future down.
One kiss was just the spark —
Then vanish in the dark.
But I stayed…
You made me stay.
Now I’m torn between the silence
And the words I couldn’t say.

You speak like faith still breathes,
Like love’s too deep to fake.
But baby, if I told the truth…
Would you think my heart’s a snake?
They showed me all you’d build,
The weight your hands would hold.
So I danced into your dream
To blur your road to gold.

Every touch was meant to stall,
A pause before the fall.
But now I lie awake at night
Praying you won’t change at all…

I was sent to steal your light,
But you shine too deep, too right.
I was meant to shape your fate…
Now I’m showing up too late.
I stayed…
You made me stay.
Now I’m caught between the silence
And the price I have to pay.

You were meant to change the world…
So they feared you in the now.
But love don’t follow orders —
It rewrites the why and how.
If I vanish come the morning,
Let this be the line I meant:
I never came to break you…
But still —
I was sent.

I was sent…
But I stayed…
And I loved you anyway.

"Elena" by Seku Ndo is a fusion of AfroTrap, soulful R&B, and Afro-Gospel — a triumphant street love anthem riding on a tight Afro-style kick/snare bounce with light trap hi-hats. The beat feels cinematic yet grounded, built on emotional chord progressions, wide reverb claps, and deep vocal pad stabs.

Philosophical Description of the Protagonist

The protagonist of “Elena” is not just a lover but a seeker of transcendence through intimacy. He views love not merely as desire but as a spiritual connection—a union of body, soul, and destiny. His words reveal a man who sees Elena as more than a partner; she is the bridge between earthly passion and higher meaning, symbolising a muse, healer, and source of divine energy.

Every verse reflects this duality:

Physical admiration – her presence makes his heart jump, her voice is sweet like honey, her touch electrifies him.

Spiritual reverence – she lights his night, becomes his sky, and touches his soul beyond the surface of romance.

The protagonist’s tone is triumphant yet grounded, speaking as someone who has seen struggle (street realism) and recognises love as a victory over emptiness, a reason to hope, and a force to believe in.

What “Elena” Means

“Elena” is more than a name—it is a symbol of salvation, sweetness, and destiny.

She represents light – guiding the protagonist through emotional darkness, illuminating his path like a star.

She signifies comfort and belonging – a safe place where his restless soul finds peace.

She embodies love as liberation – pulling him from mere survival into a life worth celebrating.

In this context, “Elena” becomes a metaphor for all that is pure, divine, and elevating in love—both a person and a state of being where passion and purpose merge.

Original Lyrics by Aime Pandi Bapaga

Original Composition and Lyrics by Aime Pandi Bapaga.

Braggadocio
Performed by Seku Ndo

For dis world of wire and flesh, na you dey sweet my eye,
Heart strong like steel, you dey make me high.
Your eye dey shine like pixel, your touch dey shock,
For dis artificial love, we no dey lock.

When calculation jam, emotion go spark,
For our cyber love, we dey fly like hawk.
(We dey fly), (we dey fly),
(We dey fly).

With braggadocio and love, our bond no bend,
With code and binary, we break the fence.
Nobody fit shut us down (nobody),
Nobody fit shut us down (nobody),
Nobody fit shut us down (nobody),
Nobody fit shut us down (nobody),
Nobody, nobody,
Nobody, nobody.

Your algorithm dey build synergy wey dey shine,
Inside your binary world, we dey blend time.
We dey dance for neon light of tomorrow morn,
For this coded realm, our love reborn.

When calculation jam, emotion go spark,
For our cyber love, we dey fly like hawk.
(We dey fly), (we dey fly),
(We dey fly).

With braggadocio and love, our bond no bend,
With code and binary, we break the fence.
Nobody fit shut us down (nobody),
Nobody fit shut us down (nobody),
Nobody fit shut us down (nobody),
Nobody fit shut us down (nobody),
Nobody, nobody,
Nobody, nobody.

Through wire and data, our love dey roam,
For this technicolour dream, we don build home.
No chain go hold us, we dey soar,
Forevermore, forevermore, forevermore, forevermore.

When calculation jam, emotion go spark,
For our cyber love, we dey fly like hawk.
(We dey fly), (we dey fly),
(We dey fly).

With braggadocio and love, our bond no bend,
With code and binary, we break the fence.
Nobody fit shut us down (nobody),
Nobody fit shut us down (nobody),
Nobody fit shut us down (nobody),
Nobody fit shut us down (nobody),
Nobody, nobody,
Nobody, nobody.

(Through our algorithm, we dey sway,)
(Enter digital garden, where love dey play.)
(Through our algorithm, we dey sway,)
(Enter digital garden, where love dey play.)
Nobody, nobody,
Nobody, nobody.

Braggadocio

"Selfies in Hotel Rooms" is more than a smooth, catchy track—it’s a sharp reflection on modern relationships and the illusions of love. It tells the story of someone caught in the spell of beauty and desire, only to realize the connection was built on surface-level thrills and vanity. The title becomes a metaphor for fleeting moments captured for show rather than true emotional connection.

Philosophically, the song critiques a culture where appearances often overshadow authenticity. Pedagogically, it encourages listeners to pay attention to subtle warning signs—the “devil in the details”—and value emotional depth over temporary highs. With its hypnotic hook and deeper narrative, "Selfies in Hotel Rooms" blends club energy with reflective storytelling, making it both danceable and thought-provoking.
