Barry Jhay is back in rotation with a new record, and this one leans hard on that voice of his. The singer-songwriter has released “Done For Me,” an Afropop number that puts his vocals right at the front.
It arrives as part of a fresh body of work rather than as a loose single, which gives the song some context from the jump. “Done For Me” sits third on GODFEARING GANGSTER, his six-track EP. The rest of the project runs through “So Good,” “Messi,” “Angel Of My Life,” “Time. (Asiko)” and “This King God.”
On this cut, Barry Jhay blends contemporary Afropop sounds with Fuji-inspired elements. That mix shapes how the melodies move and how he rides the beat. His delivery is the centre of gravity here. The vocals carry the weight, expressive and unhurried, while the production stays light enough to let the melodies breathe.
It is the kind of record that rises or falls on how the singer handles it, and Barry Jhay sounds at home in the pocket. Have you heard “Done For Me” yet? Tell us your verdict in the comments.
