Miji’s ‘Bubble’ Is the Afrofusion Anthem Every Introvert Needs

Cover Art

Fast-rising Afrofusion singer Miji delivers an emotional, exhilarating track for introverts. Born Olamiji Kaska, she displays self-consciousness in her latest release, "Bubble". After the release of her 'Liars & Thieves' EP which shone in the fusion of R&B, soul, and Pop with Afrosounds, she is gradually building her brand around these genres. 

Produced by GAXILLIC, "Bubble" begins with emo strings while her adlibs illuminate the intro. Her falsetto vocals are soothing, while her songwriting technique compels listeners to replay the track. The three-minute track is string-heavy, creating room for Miji to express her introspective lyrics over the slow-paced instrumental.

"Bubble" explores the mind of a loner who yearns for freedom but is drawn back by herself. She sometimes creates her reality in her mind at dusk, but it becomes altered in real life come dawn. The “bubble wrap” metaphor becomes symbolic of self-protection that gradually morphs into self-confinement.

"Bubble" has a sharp pen game as it gives Miji an edge over her colleagues in the industry. The track's reach may be limited due to the heavy, melancholic rhythm and lyrics. However, her vocal delivery and tonal dexterity are her strengths. Her lyrical depth is rare in contemporary Afrobeats. She sings in the chorus: Meee, I love this world, but I'm so caged. I made a bubble wrap inside my head, need somebody to remind me it's all fake. 

Miji has the potential to be a popular female artist, yet her management might be crucial for her success. While her daily uploads across social media have gained traction, if positioned strategically, "Bubble" could mark the beginning of Miji’s breakthrough moment. Miji's 'Bubble' is a source of solace and an anthem for global introverts.
