Renowned Nigerian singer and songwriter Jacob Banks recently released his brand new single "Stranger." After offering his version of Alicia Keys' "Like you'll never see me again" last May, he made his comeback in the studios to write and record his new track. Released on September 16, 2020, the song already has more than 95,000 views on YouTube. Co-produced with his friend Sillkey, the single is part of the Soul style, a ballad of which only he has the secret. A music full of sweetness that evokes the difficulties of a relationship and the search for healing following a separation. A text with simple but so poignant lyrics that echo many stories and people. Jacob Banks with his voice full of warmth, a baritone voice, makes us vibrate according to the notes he sings. Accompanied by a synth melody and then quickly joined by drums and violins, the music is built little by little until it becomes very intense or even "suffocating", a real metaphor echoing the lyrics of the song. As for the clip, it is literally "breathtaking", Jacob Banks and his co-star being almost constantly submerged underwater. The images speak for themselves, obviously expressing the various problems they may have gone through together and ending in the "death" of their relationship. The artist is at Universal. Another quality artist that we highly recommend you, the Californian Gracie Abrams and her first EP minor.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-Q2pwq1J0o&ab_channel=JacobBanksVEVO
