The last time we heard from Lam Zigbuo, he was crooning over a spacy instrumental on his single “MMO”. The track introduced us to a poetic, love-struck artist whose approach to melody and songcraft is refreshing and addictive. While “MMO” is an unforgettable earworm, Zigbuo is prepared to break any preconceived notions of his art on his latest offering, “GOHED”. The aggressively cocky single introduces us to a charismatic and confident vocalist who is hellbent on getting his deserved respect.
The booming drums and trap-influenced bounce of the instrumental lay the groundwork for Zigbuo’s baritone voice to crash through your speakers with immense gusto. “GOHED” sounds like a victory lap for the Philadelphia native, a reminder that his natural knack for melody is just one of the many tones his voice can shift into. On “GOHED”, Zigbuo is in rare form, a form we haven’t heard from him even in his earlier releases as Blueboy Laz. There is a sense of reassurance in his voice and a much-deserved sense of achievement from the young artist.
If “MMO” was Zigbuo proving his ability to write a catchy love song, “GOHED” is a reminder that it isn’t always about love. Zigbuo plants a flag and bares his ego, daring anyone to try and challenge him on his art. With two singles under his belt in 2022, Lam Zigbuo has everyone on their feet in anticipation of his next move.
