Taken from his upcoming debut album titled Worry <, multi-talented Nigerian artist Tim Lyre has linked up with North London’s rapper Lex Amor for a new single titled “Hubris”.
The single comes on the back of his last offering “Highlife” with Prettyboy DO and Lady Donli, which he released on the back end of last year, and it sees Tim Lyre and Lex Amor exploring Greek mythology.
Playing on themes of excessive pride and arrogance, the track is built over a laid-back and atmospheric production courtesy of Tim Lyre himself, who then sets the tone with his nonchalant flow and slick pen game with London’s prodigy Lex Amor adding the cherry on top.
Speaking about how the track came about, Tim Lyre says, “Hubris is one of my personal favourites. It’s a song to inspire confidence. I had been going through a period of self-doubt. This song kind of reminded me I was on the right path. Also, couldn’t have asked for a better feature than Lex Amor, she was floating on the track“.
Hailing from Lagos, Nigeria, Tim Lyre is a multi-talented singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist that’s been paving a lane with his genre-bending sound. Playing a monumental role in Nigeria’s alté renaissance, it was only a matter of time he would venture out into the vibrant world of music.
Growing up in a musical household, Lyre studied classical music from the youthful age of 10; learning how to play the piano and read music, it wasn’t until he got older when he was exposed to sounds including highlife, afrobeats, jazz, R&B, neo-soul, gospel, and more, that he began exploring his own wave.
