Echezona’s “Rare,” from his upcoming album Ényì, glides in, smooth as silk, and quietly takes up space in your head. Produced by JPRiZM, the song leans into a trippy, anticipatory rhythm that pulls you forward, with immersive layers of sound wrapping around Echezona’s high, lightly grainy voice. He delivers each line with an unhurried, almost conversational ease.

The vibe is undeniably laid-back, but the emotional undercurrent runs deep. In his falsetto moments, like the tender refrain, “Good luck, my dear, searching for another ’cause my love is real,” there’s a fragile, bittersweet honesty that catches you off guard. The lyrics portray a rare, precious, love that’s maybe already slipping through the fingers. He sings, “You’re no trampoline… but your heart and mind just can’t agree,” conveying the push-and-pull between the passion and the feelings.

Musically, “Rare” is more about creating a hypnotic atmosphere. The beat has a subtle bounce, the synths shimmer just enough to catch the light, and the pacing leaves plenty of breathing room for the emotion to land. It’s the sonic equivalent of a late-night drive where the city lights blur and the world feels slower.

In “Rare,” you can feel Echezona’s multicultural influences with hints of afrofusion and R&B warmth blending seamlessly with modern soul sensibilities. This song is for the big-hearted souls, like he says, but also for anyone who’s ever had to accept that sometimes the love you give is rarer than the love you get back. You won’t hear such a message or such a unique song with these profound lyrics, just anywhere. So check it out on YouTube.
