In a set of 6 songs written to soothe the senses and awaken the ideal
travel experience in a commuter’s mind, vocalist, songwriter and performer,
*Omali* presents *Aria Road (Vol. 1).*
Aptly described as the Travel Music EP,* Aria Road (Vol. 1) *is themed
around travel, life on the road, touring and adventure with re-assuring and
positive messages for the listener.
Omali has kept her growing cult-like following in anticipation for eons
over her impending album, *Love Hostess*.
With songs like *Kulie Dide* featuring *9ice*, *Palava* and *My Shakara* or
even officially unreleased *Falling Roses* of which the snippet used as
published on her ReverbNation for *EbonyLife TV*’s *Dowry*, these are
testament to something special musically emerging from this afro/world
fusion musician.
However, this 6-track EP, *Aria Road*; a preamble to whet fan base appetite
explores a novel fusion format where *Ariaria* music takes center-stage but
some Jazz, R&B, Soft rock and contemporary Nigerian music integrated into
it in complementing fashion.
Albeit the Aba market Ariaria gospel music movement which inspired Omali to
create this conscious body of work is known for its core South Eastern
origins, this EP has its songs written not just in Igbo, English but also
in Pidgin English and even some Yoruba and Hausa. The talents of rapid fire
lyricist *K-Large* and highlife/alternative musician *Descrow Mbarga* are
contracted to flavour up the EP on such songs as “Amandi” and “Say Yay”
respectively.
*Aria Road* is so named, as the real life location is inspiration with its
beautiful hilly landscape where she grew up in Enugu; it holds many
powerful memories inclusive of the discovery of her musical talents, her
skills formation years and from where she was pulled out to the world.
