Afropop is often known for its energy and feel good sound, but more artists are starting to bring something deeper into the music. Gaiya Moses Obedience known as Deemoe is one of them. On “Intro,” the opening track of his album Legend, he leans into storytelling and emotion, giving listeners a clearer picture of who he is and what drives him. From the start, the song feels different with the violin playing slowly and reflectively, backed by soft keys that set a serious tone. His delivery on this song is topnotch and you can tell this track means something to him.
The first verse is rooted in family and loyalty, the lines was filled with doing it for his parents, siblings, and close circle, just clear intentions from a place of responsibility and gratitude.
As the song progresses, the tone shifts. The second verse becomes more confrontational, touching on betrayal and disappointment. Over a classic boom bap style beat, Deemoe questions people who weren’t there when things got difficult. It adds another layer to the track and makes it feel more complete.
“Intro” does what a good opening track should do. It sets the mood, introduces the artist properly, and gives listeners a reason to keep going. More than anything, it shows Deemoe as someone who has something to say and knows how to relay this information through music.
As part of the wider Legend project, the track hints at an album built on personal experiences, growth, and honesty. If “Intro” is anything to go by, Deemoe is building a brand that connects beyond the surface making him an artist worth paying attention to moving forward.
