Obongjayar details debut album ‘Some Nights I Dream of Doors,’ shares “Try”

Obongjayar recently released the song "Message In A Hammer" and confirmed that his anticipated debut album was on the way, and now he has detailed the album and released a second single. It's called Some Nights I Dream of Doors and it arrives May 13 via September Recordings (pre-order). One of the songs features jazz great Nubya Garcia.

The new single is album opener "Try," and it's another of Obongjayar's genre-blurring fusions of Afrobeat, soul, art pop, and more. It's keeping our hopes high for this album, and it comes with a video directed by Rollo Jackson. Check it out below.
