It’s a bold statement to release a debut album less than two years into your career, but Seyi G. is keen to show the world the variety of emotions that have ushered him to his present place in life. Last Friday, he released ‘Who Needed That Therapist Anyways,’  a meditative eight-song project that explored themes of pressure, defiance, love, and lust all wrapped in the singer’s blend of Afro-swing and soulful storytelling. 

‘W.N.T.T.A’  arrives a little over a year after Seyi G. caught mainstream attention with “FAMILY + TRIGGA,” a wispy two-pack release that captured the depth of his sound. On his full-length debut, he continues to prove to be as inventive as always, working through his influences and aspirations with precision. The project opens with “On My Way,” a smooth rap-sung collab with Mojo AF that sets the tone for the project. 

Other highlights abound across the project, particularly “Melo,” a high-energy track that Seyi has teased across social media for months. This celebratory anthem captures Seyi’s journey from adversity to triumph, carrying the standout line: “shout out to my haters, I have scattered their agenda.” Its infectious bounce and confident tone make it the perfect entry point into the world that Seyi G. imagined for his listeners. 

As a rising artist stepping out with his first full-length body of work, Seyi G. uses ‘W.N.T.T.A’  to introduce not just his sound, but his story.  The eight songs of the album function like a narrative — therapy sessions, introspection, moments of darkness, perseverance, and eventual celebration — all sewn together through Seyi G.’s singular perspective.
