Singer, songwriter, and producer Obi Ben delivers a sleek raw track that feels both cinematic and deeply intimate on “some nights.” Blending pop and R&B with thoughtful storytelling and polished self-production with frequent collaborator Adam Turley during a trip to Oahu, the song captures the uneasy tension of relationship anxiety against the backdrop of a tropical paradise.
Floating atop a minimalist, ocean-slick production, Obi’s vocals echo the landscapes of artists like Bazzi and 6LACK. It’s the kind of song that feels tailor-made for a nighttime drive with the beat pulsing softly beneath confessions like “it’s a little too much weight sometimes / I swear some nights.”
Already gaining traction among his most-streamed tracks on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, “some nights” continues Obi’s streak of soul-baring, genre-blurring singles including “off my chest,” “my baby,” and “if you love her.” While no full-length album has been announced yet, the consistency of these releases point to a bigger project on the horizon.
