According to the press release, “evrYwhr wrote and recorded his verses on ‘Roll On Me’ in Atlanta, GA, at The Saint & Citizen Studio, while Patoranking recorded his in Lagos, Nigeria. evrYwhr’s catchy hook opens the track complimented by Patoranking’s infectious verse. A sexy saxophone runs throughout the song setting the tone for intimacy.”
“It was important that I recorded “Roll On Me” with Patoranking in Nigeria to immerse myself in the afrobeat rhythms and culture. While there, I fell in love with the music, food, and fashion,” said evrYwhr in a statement. “Feeling free to create without critiquing myself stretched my sound. As I began to live a fuller, more limitless life, I’ve discovered a newfound freedom that comes from creating without overthinking.”
The video is directed by Nigerian cinematographer Director K of PriorGold Pictures, and it takes in the scenery in Lagos, Nigeria.
“Pull up beep beep / let me gas you / that dress will make a pastor come and bless you / you got that chocolate dip / you got that fondue / And I bet that nani sweet like a mango,” evrYwhr sings.
