Rema Talks About His Unique Method: “I Don’t Like to Do What People Expect”
Since his first big hit, “Dumebi,” Nigerian Afrobeats star Rema has made a lot of noise in the music business. His world success with “Calm Down” cemented his place as one of the best Afrobeats artists working today. Rema is still focused on staying true to himself and his artistic vision, even though being this famous comes with a lot of pressure. The singer talked about the ideas behind his second record, *HEIS*, in a recent interview. He said that he loves going against the grain and challenging the norm.
Rema doesn’t play music in the usual way, and his latest record is all about his desire to stay unpredictable. Following the success of “Calm Down,” many people thought the artist would stick to a certain sound and style. Rema, on the other hand, made it clear that he doesn’t want to be what people expect him to be. “I don’t like to do what people expect,” Rema said, adding that he gets ideas from surprising people and going against the norm.
Rema’s unique mix of Afrobeats, trap, and alternative sounds is shown on *HEIS*, which shows how many musical styles the artist has heard. Rema, whose real name is Divine Ikubor, said that the record shows who he is and how he got to where he is now in the music business. Many artists might want to stick to what worked for them, but Rema won’t. He wants to follow his artistic instincts, even if it means taking risks.
The 23-year-old artist said that *HEIS* shows how he has grown as a person and as a singer. Its title is important because it sends a message of self-discovery and strength. Rema wants people to know that he is making his own way and isn’t worried about what other people think of him. Fans like how honest he is, and they respect how he can stay unique in a business that usually rewards being predictable.
Rema also talked about how hard it is to stay fresh when your work is doing well commercially. Many people thought Rema would stick to the sound of his biggest hit, “Calm Down,” for his next albums after it got so many streams and high places on the charts. The singer, on the other hand, doesn’t want to be stopped. “I want people to always expect the unexpected from me,” he said, emphasising that his artistic journey is about coming up with new ideas and expressing himself all the time.
Rema’s range is shown by the songs on *HEIS*, which cover topics like love, identity, and desire. His fans love how experimental the record is and praise the artist for taking a risk with his music. Rema doesn’t just care about numbers or praise when it comes to *HEIS*; he also cares about staying true to himself and making music that hits home on a deeper level.
Rema stands out in the Afrobeats scene because he doesn’t want to follow the crowd. His new album *HEIS* shows how much he wants to stay unpredictable. Rema has become one of the most exciting acts in the world’s music scene by staying true to himself and following his creative instincts.
