CEG & HearFirst Present: Ehiorobo: 'Limeade' 10 Year Anniversary & Vinyl Release Show

Brookyln based R&B vocalist and producer Ehiorobo comes to DROM to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of his album: Limeade

Ehiorobo (Ehi Igiehon) is an alternative r&b vocalist, musician & producer from Brooklyn by way of New Jersey.

Known for his unconventional vocal style often blending expressive crooning with poetic asides, as well as his eclectic range of stylistic output (alt. r&b, indie-pop, indie-rock, electronic, hip hop, and more), he’s become well-known for being a chameleon within the space of indie music. With a plethora of touring experiences under his belt, Ehiorobo has been brought along various North American tours as a supporting act for electronic & indie-pop artists such as Mothica, Robotaki, Flamingosis, and Blockhead, often finding himself in the position to present his alternative r&b styles and electronic music to rooms that are poised to dance.

Stepping into the internet’s independent music scene mid-way through the 2010’s with collaborations alongside artists from different spaces including Flamingosis, Bickle, Omniboi, MEMBA, SMLE, Deffie, Icarus Moth, Seiho, Mark Redito, Maxo, and many more, Ehiorobo has been consistently releasing music since first putting forth an intimate collection of songs on his debut LP, ‘Limeade’ (2016 via DESKPOP).

In 2021, Ehiorobo made a triumphant return with three new standalone singles, and an ambitious sophomore LP titled, ‘Joltjacket’ via Grind Select / Fat Possum Records.

Notably dubbed Bandcamp’s ‘Album of the Day’ shortly after the LP’s release, journalist Ann-Derrick Gaillot’s review states, “Ehiorobo’s twist on R&B is sweetly disarming (...) using sounds from countless musical influences, from dissonant noise punk to honeyed soul and pop, each track offers an exuberant reflection on the emotional and sensory overloads experienced in life.”

In spring of 2023, Ehiorobo released his long-in-the-works collaborative LP with sample-based hip hop producer Flamingosis titled ‘Bliss Station’.

With 12 tracks that blend together a range of genres such as sample-based hip hop, r&b, house music, and more, each track serves as a testament towards one’s journey to emotional maturity including stories of new found love and heartbreak, dealing with isolation/loneliness, and finding the courage to maneuver through a variety of inner hardships. Written, produced, and engineered entirely by Flamingosis and Ehiorobo alongside additional instrumentation and production from Thievery Corporation’s Jeff Franca, the collaborative ‘Bliss Station’ album is his latest full-length offering.
