The Chicago musician Nnamdi Ogbonnaya released music at a frantic clip for a while there in 2020, but has slowed down a bit as of late. Today, though, he’s announcing a new NNAMDÏ album called Please Have A Seat, his first in partnership with Secretly Canadian. “I realized I never take time to just sit and take in where I’m at,” NNAMDÏ said of his new project in a statement. “It’s just nice to not be on ‘Go, Go, Go!’ mode, and reevaluate where I wanted to go musically. I wanted to be present.” Lead single “I Don’t Wanna Be Famous” is a chirping hype track in which NNAMDÏ fantasizes about what it would be like to be really famous. Check it out below.
