In her first release of 2022, In the Clouds, Ghanaian singer Adomaa opened up about how a single hit cover propelled her to fame, and the rapid changes that followed.
She reflected on the fleeting nature of success, singing, “The spotlight starts to flicker. I’m all alone. Was this true?” On October 19, 2022, Adomaa shared further insight into this challenging phase with a new song, Circus, while also revealing her upcoming EP Becoming Adomaa.
Circus delves deeper into Adomaa’s personal and professional struggles, exploring themes of loneliness, confusion, depression, and self-doubt, all conveyed through her signature blend of poetic lyrics and captivating melodies.
Despite these inner battles, the song emphasizes her commitment to her craft, as she continues to perform and meet expectations. The emotional intensity is reflected in the mood swings and subtle facial expressions seen in the lyric video.
Adomaa, now signed to the Ugandan-based Nyege Nyege music label, is set to release Becoming Adomaa on November 16, 2022.
