about

‘Walai’ is the twisted, indignant and introspective follow-up to the 2022 politically-charged single ‘Human Reciprocator’. ‘Walai’ is a collaboration between Band Spectra (aka disabled musician Robert Manning) and musician / producer Olugbenga (aka Olugbenga Adelekan).

‘Walai’ was inspired by various Death From Above Records alumni, infusing electronic techniques with soulful rock aesthetics; alternately, with Leo Abrahams (Self, Brian Eno) on guitar and Nathan Curran (Basement Jaxx, Roxy Music) on drums, ‘Walai’ moves faster, heavier, noisier and more intensely than the noted influences. ‘Walai’ is the second single to be taken from Band Spectra's forthcoming debut album.

lyrics

Your voice inside has so much to say, so much to say about it
The promise you made inside, it shines undercover
But don’t tell a soul about it

This time there is really no why
Nothing to explain it, walai
Nothing tastes as sweet as a lie
This time there’s no way to deny
Not a second
Not a speck of sand
Don't tell a soul about it.

Your voice inside has so much to say, so much to say about it
The promise you made inside, it shines undercover
But don’t tell a soul about it don’t tell a soul about it don’t tell a soul about it

Not a second
Not a speck of sand
Not a soul
Never a kind word
Not a grain of truth
Never second
Don't tell a soul about it
Don't tell a soul about it
Don't tell a soul…..

This time there is really no why
Nothing to explain it, walai
Nothing tastes as sweet as a lie
This time there’s no way to deny
Not a second
Not a speck of sand
Don't tell a soul about it

Your voice inside has so much to say, so much to say about it
The promise you made inside, it shines undercover
But don’t tell a soul about it
Not a second
Not a speck of sand
Not a soul Never a kind word
Not a grain of truth
Never second
Don't tell a soul about it
