Multi-faceted artist and producer Tim Lyre’s Worry < ("Worry Less") imbues alté with Afrobeats, ambient, trip-hop and neo-soul elements for a contemplation on romance, loss and our current anxiety-filled times. With its breezy overtones, this nine-track project weaves melodic poetry into calming soundscapes and maintains an afro-futuristic impulse set against a buzzing Lagos backdrop. Contributions by Lady Donli, July Drama, Kobla Jnr, PrettyboyDO, DAP The Contract and MOJO AF ensure an alluring blend of the tropical, psychedelic and percussive. The boppy, Lex Amor-assisted single “Hubris” exudes self-assurance over its laidback tempo, while the dancehall-infused “Primetime” ups the octane alongside the Afrobeats earworm “Present”.
