Hailing from Dallas, Texas, Harry Edohoukwa‘s musical journey is a flurry of hip hop, funk, blues, rock and reggae, a genre-blurring mix that results in an original sound. With his latest single, “FOUND ME,” Edohoukwa trips to an emotional place, offering listeners a captivating musical journey through pain and resilience.
Edohoukwa’s rise in the music scene has been impressive. His stellar live performances in Austin earned him the title of a Must See Artist at SXSW 2019 by the Austin Chronicle. He’s shared stages with notable acts like BLK Odyssy and opened for the likes of Omar Apollo at his ACL afterparty. His musical journey has taken him to Houston’s White Oak Music Hall, where he supported the Black Pumas, and he is set to grace the stage at Lollapalooza 2023 in Chicago, Illinois, this August.
Now, with with his sophomore single, “FOUND ME,” he serves up a heartfelt composition inspired by a painful personal experience; a story of love and betrayal involving an unfaithful partner and his then-best friend. With raw honesty, Edohoukwa lays bare his emotions, creating a piece of music that resonates with anyone who’s experienced the sting of betrayal.
“FOUND ME” is a slick display of Edohoukwa’s appeal as an alternative hip hop artist. The track is driven by a crisp beat that provides the perfect foundation for his smooth lead vocals, backed by a lush female voice. Above the laid-back bass groove, shimmering synth and guitar textures dance, creating an engaging atmosphere that draws the listener in. Edohoukwa deftly floats between mellow rapped verses and a melodic, emotionally charged chorus. The result is a catchy bop that’s sure to get your feet tapping and your heart feeling every word.
As Edohoukwa embarks on his European tour alongside long-time collaborator BLK ODYSSY, “FOUND ME” serves as a compelling precursor to what promises to be an exciting musical journey. In this single, Harry Edohoukwa stakes his claim as one of the most exciting new artists to emerge this year.
Commenting on the single, he shares, “FOUND ME is about my experience finding liberation. In order to do so, I have to kill my pseudo saviour – I have to understand no one outside of me can save me. I’m speaking directly to who I gave my power to. Bringing to mind her actual powerlessness with each refrain.”
