Chisom Breaks Free of Constraints with Genre-Defying New Album ‘Bracelets’
Detroit-born, D.C.-based Nigerian-American artist, Chisom, is set to release his genre-defying new album, ‘Bracelets,’ an exploration of breaking free from societal and genre constraints. The twelve-song album showcases Chisom’s unique blend of hip-hop, alternative hip-hop, soul, afro-pop, and afro-fusion, infused with his soulful lyricism and rich African heritage.
Inspired by his month-long trip to Houston, Texas, Chisom realized a recurring theme of breaking free from materialism in his lyrics. The writing of the fifth track, “Within,” solidified the powerful message he felt compelled to share through the album. The title track, “Bracelets,” was born out of an unpleasant encounter with the police, a metaphor for handcuffs, symbolizing the need to break free from societal constraints.
Chisom has been gaining traction in the music industry with recent releases featured in notable outlets such as OkayPlayer, DJBooth, and XXL. With a steady stream of new material expected this year, Chisom is poised to become a vital voice of his generation, pushing the boundaries of hip-hop and creating a distinct and memorable sound.
The album ‘Bracelets’ is a testament to Chisom’s talent and dedication to his craft, combining the complex beauty of traditional African music with the vintage sound of east coast hip-hop. Chisom’s music celebrates his rich heritage while making meaningful observations on American society, making ‘Bracelets’ an album that transcends the norm and sets a new standard for the future of hip-hop.
