CKay on romance in his music

 

I don’t know about [being a] big romantic guy but I’m someone who is very in touch with my feelings and my emotions. I think love is an amazing thing – a crazy thing, but amazing nonetheless – and this is one of the predominant themes of my life, so it’s just natural that my music talks a lot about this.

 

CKay on ‘Sad Romance’

It’s basically me chronicling my life, my love life, in musical form, which is my primary form of self-expression. I basically like to put myself into my music. There are a lot of sad situations, a lot of happy situations, a lot of very diverse situations I was in. I basically captured all those.

CKay on surprise success delaying his album

It took me about a year and a half to make ‘Sad Romance’. I was already recording the album before the 2021 run of ‘Love Nwantiti’. I was already almost done with the album, and that happened and I had to kind of put the album on hold because I was really really really busy traveling, promoting and being in a lot of places at the same time, so I had to put that on hold, but over that period of time I kept recording, and in like a year and a half or so I was done.
