Super-talented Afrobeats/Afro-Pop prince, Phalíll, dropped a two-tracked release, “Laugh Now” and “Cry Later.”
The two songs were released on Friday, the 31st of January 2025, and the fans have really gone wild on this one.
Coming from a place of loss, grief, and gratitude, these two songs are like the two sides of the same coin and just as the titles imply, “Laugh Now” is a track that speaks to everyone going through challenges to not focus on their situations, but instead, they should celebrate their wins and keep a grateful and happy heart. Regardless of the circumstances, we should be able to find joy in the chaos and peace in the madness.
“Cry Later,” which is just a continued message from “Laugh Now,” is a little bit more emotional, deep, and connecting to the soul. The song is a moody one with a powerful message. It tells the listeners to shake themselves from their challenges and that no matter the obstacles, the end will always justify the means. “Cry Later” is a way of saying that people should learn to embrace the painful parts of life and use it as fuel to drive their passion.
Both songs are as melodious as they are addictive that having a favorite seems impossible.
Released under Obafunshy Musical Records, Produced by Candor, Mixed and Mastered by Jayfred, the songs are out on all digital platforms and can be listened to via the link below.
