Captivating Music Review: Exploring the Artistic Depths of Echezona’s Latest Release “Make Up Your Mind”

Sometimes, a song doesn’t need to shout to be heard. Echezona’s latest single, Make Up Your Mind , is proof of that.

Along with producer JPRiZM, this song is a reflection on choice and chance, with smooth singing and thoughtful music. It sounds like this song is a quiet protest against the chaos of modern life. It stops time and makes you think.

It is not about big movements or flashy tricks; instead, it is a private talk about decisions, second chances, and readjusting your emotions.

The singer from Boston uses both English and Igbo words to make a sound that is both personal and global.

This song really shows how well Echezona (singer and writer) and JPRiZM (composer and producer) work together. Their seven-year collaboration has clearly paid off, as they have made something that is both highly personal and meaningful to everyone.

Because of Echezona’s own experience with a returned ex-lover who wanted answers right away, the song explores the tension between being open and protecting oneself.

This is not just a breakup song, though, despite the sweet title. Its themes reach out and touch anyone who has ever had to make tough choices about relationships, jobs, or even everyday things.

While making music, Make Up Your Mind mixes afrobeat, hip-hop, soul, and R&B styles into a smooth mix. The track is based on percussion, with guitar and piano sounds that are both familiar and new.

It makes fun of Sade’s relaxing sounds and Fela Kuti’s energetic beats, but JPRiZM says that no one artist directly inspired the song.

This mix of styles makes a sound that is hard to describe but fun to listen to. Then there is the hook, which is a high repeat sung in part in Igbo. It adds a musical depth that stays with you long after the song is over.

This release stands out because it is real. In contrast to Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department, which switches between synth-pop gloss and heartbreak-heavy songs 2, Echezona keeps things grounded.

His words are simple but powerful, catching real feelings without making them sound too perfect. There are no out-of-pocket words or over-the-top musical tricks on this album. Instead, everything is there to help tell the story.

The song also sounds a bit like a movie theme. It sounds like you are watching a short movie where the main character fights their inner fears while walking down a busy city street.

It could be the way the English and Igbo are mixed, or it could be the way the music sounds like footsteps. It works either way.

With upcoming shows at schools in Boston and beyond, including opening for Afrobeat star Oxlade, Echezona is ready to make this track more well-known.

Will it change what pop music is? Most likely not. But does it give us a new way to think about how art can show how hard life can be? Of course.

In a world where everything is fast, Make Up Your Mind tells us that some choices need time and maybe even a few tries.
