Omah Lay, has completely sang out a majority of his feelings, and he expects that you connect with the music. Currently, you might not ultimately find that connection required but someday, Omah Lay believes and he understands that you would find it necessary.

As he becomes like one going through multiple ugly phases. And then music becomes that channel to detoxify himself from those painful and unbearable moments.

He is a loner stuck to the bottom of his roots. A Port Harcourt brought up, who completely appreciates where he comes from. While in the tone of a few tracks on the deluxe version, he grows his feeling of loneliness. On a fresh track like “Reason,” he properly exalts that account with his soulful voice that seemed like a cry in every form. Instead of starving those soulful feeling and the pains they are being expressed with. The 26-year Old Stanley Omah Didia, created a style of music that coveyed these messages clear and evidently.

Upon the new edition of Boy Alone. He added various set of fresh songs namely “Reason,” “Come Closer,” “It Is Yours,” “Imagine” featuring Aitch and “Joanna.” Originally five tracks in numbers, and a promotional remixed single of “Soso,” featuring Latino’s Ozuna. Which is one of the most prized tracks that aligned the proper reception of the deluxe project. Whereas, “Soso,” was one of those riveting songs from the original version of Boy Alone along with “Safe Haven,” “Never Forget,” “Bend You” and “Tell Everybody” featuring Tay Iwar.

The groovy, and bitter sweet essence of “Reason,” is one of the major foundations “Boy Alone” deluxe mode was laid. It is a very spectacular and intentional song from the album. Being one that clearly observes all the tenets and diverse phases Omah Lay was while moulding the revise edition of Boy Alone. Reason, bears Omah’s vulnerability in several forms. As he sings densely to communicate an ugly feeling which he had walked through prior to this moment.

“Reason,” is a very significant track on this project. It grows in on listeners, having them share a peculiar meaning in different time and space and circumstance. It is that song requiring a true answer of ones actions in life generally. Whereas it helps to ease your pain in those areas you might have been found wanting. Those areas of life that increases ones sorrow and depression. Omah Lay, crafted that particular music to roll the pain away as you can easily dance and enjoy the perpetual rthyms and intensifying melodies of Reason.

Generally, on the deluxe mode of Boy Alone. Omah Lay, told captivating stories. Most of them were uncovered with a lasting impact mixed with his soulful vocal allure. While some evolved around his woman, an unfixable relationship, heartbreak, love, sex, depression and more. Also, he explored tales about his home town. Which is definitely a strong definition of one who is proud of home. With such an intense track like “Never Forget,” that vividly traces back to his how he started. The proper usage of his local dialect along with the confidence and manner he took on the record. This deluxe version of Boy Alone is like an extension of many Omah Lay’s pain and sorrow that has not been laid to an ultimate rest yet.
