AL Ghalib (a.k.a. GHALIBONAWAVE) is a fast-rising Nigerian-born recording artist. Not too long ago, he released “Ctrl”, a melodic Afrobeat/world tune from his “The Ghalibonawave EP: Vol. 1” project.
AL Ghalib – “Ctrl”
“The song was inspired by an encounter with a female (referred to as Tolani in the song) who I was in a ‘situation-ship’ with. A long time after, we cut things off. She reached out to me and asked if she could come over so we could talk and all that. The theme of the song revolves around how a lot of females all want the ‘Ctrl’ from a male counterpart for one reason or the other while using myself as a case study.” – AL Ghalib
‘Ctrl’ contains a relatable storyline, Nigerian/English vocals, and rhythmic instrumentation embedded with tropical, afrobeat, and dancehall elements.
