FUNBI

Although soul artist, Funbi, only has one criticial hit, “Hallelujah” which was been described as a quasi-religious song that thanks an unnamed higher power for their efforts and praying, “more bottles to your bubble” to the listener, there is no doubt that Funbi is a very talented singer. He sounds endlessly at the cusp of a falsetto, a Maxwell or Miguel about to break out when his mouth is close to the mic. You hear it in the many background vocals where he has lent his chords to the verses of the likes of Ladipoe, Show Dem Camp, M.I. In his Twitter bio, he acknowledges this pigeon hole, when he says he sings, “the whole verse and not just the hook” but if a voice in the background can be so memorable, we can only imagine when he is front and centel re of more soul ballads of his own.
