Nigerian singer-songwriter Teni has returned with her new single, Money. Co-produced by an impressive team of JaySynths, Gregg Wattenberg, Benzi, and iO, the track combines rich production with Teni’s sultry vocals, creating a captivating tune.
In Money, Teni explores the paradox of wealth, recognizing that while money is often touted as a source of happiness and fulfilment, it ultimately falls short of providing genuine connection and love. With poignant lyrics like: “They say money don’t buy you happiness, money can’t buy you love, money don’t fill this emptiness, but I want all the money in the world,” she reflects on the complexities of material desires versus emotional needs.
The song’s low-tempo beat allows Teni’s voice to shine, emphasizing her introspective delivery. She captures a relatable sentiment: the longing for financial security and success, even while acknowledging its limitations in addressing deeper emotional voids. This juxtaposition resonates with many, as it reflects a universal struggle—balancing aspirations for wealth with the search for meaningful relationships.
As Teni continues to make moves in the music industry, Money reminds us of her amazing talent, skillfully blending thought-provoking lyrics with infectious melodies. Fans can expect more of Teni as she prepares for her upcoming projects expected to land this year.
