WHAT IT IS: Blessing Offor brings together soul, pop, R&B and African styles on his forthcoming debut album, My Tribe, introducing a style he’s dubbed “the genre of humanity.” On the 16-track effort, Offor lays out his journey from Nigeria to Tennessee, creating a musical pastiche filled with heartbreak, joy and spirituality.
