Lyne Nsongo – Royal [Single + Video]

New sights and sounds from Belgian-Congolease singer Lyne Nsongo by way of the single “Royal” – an upbeat and uplifting number that arrives as a blend of contemporary gospel music and post-trap R&B. Viewing the lyrics as being outwardly directed, you can hear Lyne singing the praises of having faith – not only in a higher power but also in yourself. It’s a bit of spiritual encouragement for the audience to sink into. “The song comes from discussions I had with some of my female friends who were at very low points in their lives. I just want to lift them up and make them see their worth” Nsongo offers while explaining the spark behind the single. The singer’s shimmering soprano voice delivers solid mid-notes and soaring highs and sounds especially beautiful when producer/arranger Ocean layers her voice in harmonies. There are moments where Nsongo taps into a lower, more conversational tone and her voice sounds a bit overpowered by the rumbling parts of the production. But she more than makes up for these minor shortcomings by bringing a brilliant level of control over her instrument and empathy to her performance. It’s not hard to envision the honeyed voice talent singing these words to a friend who feels thoroughly defeated by life or to herself while standing in front of a mirror.

“Royal” follows last year’s Bipo Feels EP and is lifted from an anticipated new project that is set to bloom from the singer’s recent partnership with Crep Select Records. You can show your support by streaming the single from your favorite online music service below as well as by checking out more from Lyne when you connect with her online via the links listed.
