DOUBLEGRACE and Ever Nwanne link up on a fresh record called “Ugom (Remix),” a piece built on indigenous Igbo highlife. The duo, also known as Umuaka Chinyelu Egwu, keeps the original’s foundation intact here. But a second voice now enters the mix, and that shift changes how the song moves.
Ever Nwanne’s contribution gives the composition another dimension. Both acts trade different vocal expressions over traditional African rhythms and melody-driven production. What makes the pairing work is the contrast. DOUBLEGRACE carries the cultural weight of the original, while Ever Nwanne adds a fresh presence on the remix.
The remix also fits the duo’s wider habit. DOUBLEGRACE has built its sound around highlife influences, storytelling and lively instrumental arrangements. That identity runs through this version too, even with a new collaborator sharing the load. Two separate styles join into one listen here, and the result holds together because neither side rushes the other.
Highlife continues to travel well when artists treat it with this much care. Stream “Ugom (Remix)” and drop your thoughts in the comments below.
