Aisha Badru is back and hitting this writer in the feels with her new E.P ‘Learning To Love Again’.
This new production is something to admire. It not only five beautiful produced tracks, but it’s main feature is storytelling.
Sultry vocals and hard-hitting lyricism have always been the name of the game for the talented artist, which is why this new body of work is a way to show off her talents.
From a track such as ‘Lazy River’ that gallops into the folk-pop space to ‘Inside’ that brings a ballad into the project, there is something for everyone in this E.P.
Aisha Badru is an artist that keeps storytelling at the heart of her music. No matter if it is a piano in the back or a set of drums, she knows what it is like to keep a listener wanting more.
From this writer’s point of view, it’s an E.P to listen to again and again.
“Everything has a purpose,” says Aisha Badru, the Nigerian American, “I was meant to be here, doing this. And it’s just part of my purpose to experience certain levels of trauma that are very universal, go through every process of healing, and somehow put it together so I can help guide someone else.”
“I started with just me and my guitar. That boxed me into being viewed as an indie folk artist. And I think, at heart, that I am,” she says. “But on this EP, I’m letting people into a different me. I’m showing layers that people maybe did not know were there. These are all different iterations of who I am now. We all grow.”
