See Me is another inspiring single from Wunmi's upcoming album that showcases her unwavering commitment to staying true to her musical roots. See Me is a moving call to action, encouraging listeners to recognize our shared humanity.
One of the standout features of "See Me" is the exquisite guitar playing by producer and co-writer Kwame Yeboah, which perfectly complements Wunmi's soulful vocals. The instrumentation is masterfully crafted to make you listen as you dance, with an infectious rhythm that is impossible to resist. A reminder that music can be a powerful force for positive change in the world.

lyrics
See Me
see me trouble
see me trouble o
see me trouble
see me trouble o
Na jeje we dey drive dey go
way we see road block for distance
dark figures moving in slow mo
we no stop to ask dem nothing
my cousin put him foot down on gas
everything daba ru
my life flash in front my face see me trouble
chorus
see me trouble -- Eewo eewo
See me trouble o -- Eewo eewo
see me trouble -- Eewo eewo
See me trouble o -- Eewo eewo
Na so a sit for car
contemplating way just happen
de story of APO SIX come flash my mind O
6 innocent children brutally murdered by police
To many years still no justice
With ever increasing - violent crimes
Jati Jati dem police officers
Citizens no get peace
Been this way for to long O
Some say it’s not so badi O
You just got to learn to roll with the system
See me trouble
chorus
we really need to know which way we go
See me trouble o / we really need to know which way we go
see me trouble / we never seem to know which way to go
See me trouble o / we really need to know which way we go
we really need to know which way we go
we really need to know which way we go
we really need to know which way we go
we really need to know which way we go o
According to de rule of de land
Police protect uphold de law
Reality is far from dis
Rotten officers repete O
Respect for human rights - E no dey
Arbitrary arrest - wrong imprisonment
Some found dead - no explanation
Corrupt Culture -Nepotism o serious
Politician’s slow to address
People its time, stand up for your rights
Fight for de future of de children
and your children’s children O.
chorus
see me trouble / we never seem to know which way to go
See me trouble o / we really need to know which way we go
see me trouble / we never seem to know which way to go
See me trouble o / we really need to know which way we go

Albums that I want to listen often are sparse. This is one of them. All four tracks are great. but Return Of Pastor Shadrach is something special. Evonity
Dele Sosimi’s new album pairs the bubbling percussion of Afrobeat with slinky jazz melodies for a warm & wonderful final product. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 24, 2023
The latest comp from Analog Africa takes a trip to ’70s Cameroon, shoring up reel after reel of fiery psychedelic funk. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 19, 2021
Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
