Victim of Truth

Victim of Truth

The songs on the album provide a range of sounds from deep soulful ballads like 'Confession' to funky-driven Hip Hop tracks like 'Stand Strong' to 'Changes' which is a modern reinvention of the UK sound that Massive Attack was once popular for. Even though she sings more than raps, she claims Hip Hop as her primary musical roots and an important source of her inspiration. You can call it Hip-hop Soul if you want to, but as most real artists, Nneka doesn't like labels. Even more important for her thoughtful lyrics are her origin and upbringing in Nigeria. "I get inspired when I take a severe look at the things going on in our world today; especially in my country. How people live, suffer and endure pain, politicians and religion. And when I see all that man has evoked and created out of self-centeredness and devotion to material things", she says.
