Rising Star Radar: Meet Fresh New R&B Singer Ogi!
Meet Ogi, Los Angeles-based Nigerian-American singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist! She presents a rich R&B sound that many R&B heads are searching for these days.
She recently released a new single called ‘Envy’ which is about cutting through people’s facades and realizing that she was dealing with envious people all along. The single was produced by Grammy award-winning producer No-I.D.
“Did you know that it’s a sin to covet?
Baby, I can’t help the fact you love it
No skin off my back
Wish that I could help resolve the pain
That you’ve been holding on to but it’s
So helpless if I’m the cause”
According to Broadway World, Ogi explains that she likes to think of ‘Envy’ as a ‘personal love letter to haters in my life.’ ‘Envy’ is 4 minutes of rejecting accountability of other people’s jealousy. ‘I’m basically telling them that it’s not my fault that you want what I have, don’t be mad at me. I can be a little petty at times and this song gives a glimpse of me.’
Ogi is currently scheduled to open for R&B singer Snoh Aalegra for her ‘Ugh, These Temporary Highs’ Tour at Radio City Music Hall in the Big Apple. Be sure to check out her debut single ‘I Got It!’

Believe karma is a B and she gon’ teach
Said I’ma put your gold chains down the drain and your Rolly
Might just drop a text to your homie”
It’s gotta be that ‘to the left, to the left” energy! Don’t forget to stream and keep an eye out for FLO’s next move!

Alex Isley Drops New Studio Album — ‘Marigold’ With Jack Dine
R&B songstress Alex Isley recently released her fourth studio album titled ‘Marigold’ with Jack Dine.
If you’re hip, her last name should ring a bell as she is respectively the daughter of Ernie Isley from the Isley Brothers. Clearly, great musicianship didn’t skip a generation!
Isley and Dine have already proven to be an untouchable music duo, considering their previous projects including ‘Good & Plenty’ featuring Masego ‘Gone,’ and ‘Mine.’
Isley took to Twitter to explain the makings of her album. After dedicating years toward this project, Isley can assure you that there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
In ‘Marigold,’ Isley sings of love and pain from finding unexpected love to struggling to attempt to maintain inner peace while dealing with heartbreak. For instance, if you’d like to stargaze while you’re falling in love, listen to ‘Under The Moon’ where she sings about the alluring feelings of embarking on a greater connection with someone.
‘How are things meant to be? It’s written in the stars
Easy to navigate, not wandering high
‘Til the moment when it’s sanctified
Save a getaway for you and I
No, it don’t matter how, just take me really far’
However, if you find yourself thinking about a failed love, Isley’s got you covered with ’Square Zero,’ ‘Without,’ or ‘Still Wonder!’
Stream below to indulge in 30 minutes of the hypnotically lush and cool sounds of Alex Isley!
