Nigerian singer-songwriter Kunmie searches for clarity on “Answer Me,” a track from his 13-song debut album “22.”
The title reads as a direct plea, and Kunmie treats it that way throughout the record. He does not soften the ask into something vague. Instead, he pushes for real clarity in a moment of uncertainty, whether that answer comes from a person, a higher power, or simply his own unsettled thoughts.
That directness fits where “Answer Me” sits within “22.” Kunmie has built this album around genuinely personal material, and this track continues that thread by staying close to a single emotional question rather than spreading across multiple ideas. The focus gives the song its weight.
Sonically, the record leans into the same Afrobeats foundation running through the rest of the project, but the arrangement stays restrained enough to keep the lyrical plea at the center. Nothing here competes for attention against the question Kunmie keeps returning to across the track.
Part of a 13-track project that also features Phyno, Wizard Chan, Lojay, Zlatan, G4ZI, and Joeboy, “Answer Me” holds its own as one of the album’s quieter, more introspective moments – tell us in the comments what answer you think Kunmie is really looking for.
