Korede Bello “Sunmomi” Song Breakdown
The lyrics to this song are easy to understand and are in array; no disjointed lyrics. The words used are everyday words and wouldn’t need listeners to rack their brains to decipher the meaning of any word. Verses 1 and 2 have the same no of lines and are meaningful. The chorus and post-chorus were taken twice each and they sync properly.
This to me is a well-composed song, musically, lyrically, instrumentally, and so on. This song is what you say “everything balance.” The rhythm is appealing, the artiste’s vocal is appealing, the lyrics are appealing to the ears, heartwarming, and flow with the beat. The instrumentals are appealing as well. He was consistent with the style of rhythm. This song di (is) faultless. It is certainly on repeat for me!
The major instruments used in the composition of the song include guitar, piano, and drum.
What is the meaning of the song “Sunmomi” by Korede Bello?
This is no doubt a love song whereby the artiste expresses his profound love to a lady that loves him in a way that no lady has ever loved him. She is the only lady that loves Korede Bello just the way he wants it. Korede Bello lets us know how much he loves this lady too and how he sets aside his heart to love only her.
He desires to be around her always, spend time with her, spend his money on her, go places with her, keep shining for her sake, and spend eternity with her. Hence, the reason he asked her to move close like the title of the song “Sunmomi”
Korede Bello implores the lady to move close to him so he can also requite love. Although, “Sunmomi” as earlier said means “move close to me”, but, having gone through the entire lyrics, “Sunmomi” in the context of this song may mean “moving close to have s€x with someone”
View some lines that may suggest s€x below…
“Mo gbadun ara wa o (No yawa o) (I enjoy our bodies)
Mo gbadun ara wa o (No yawa o) (I enjoy our bodies)”
Regardless, I love this song. I have missed Korede Bello’s vocal in slow-tempo beats. I think this song is more of a mid-tempo.
