Dreamer Isioma has debuted their long-awaited sophomore LP Princess Forever. Marking a shift from the DIY bedroom pop sound of their early career, the new album hears Isioma converge sounds from R&B, psychedelic pop, Afrobeats and funk.

While many of the Nigerian-American artist’s fans became acquainted with them thanks to their 2020 hit single “Sensitive,” the record sees Isioma assume an alter ego: galactic leader Princess Forever.

“Princess Forever was conceptualized post-transition as I began to truly embrace my femininity,” Isioma said. “These tracks take you through my journey of falling in love while unlearning cultural misogyny and fighting against political bullsh*t.”

Interwoven throughout the album is the story of a brave Princess who rises to defend her tribe from an oppressive regime. Lyrically, Isioma explores themes of love, femininity and awareness of one’s self.
