Somi – What Does It Take to Bloom? Album

GRAMMY-nominated vocalist, songwriter, and composer Somi delivers “Lay It Down,” a soulful and reflective addition to her latest body of work, What Does It Take to Bloom? The song appears as the tenth track on the 13-song album, released through Somi’s Salon Africana imprint. The project marks her first collection of original music in six years and explores themes of growth, uncertainty, belonging, change, and personal transformation.

“Lay It Down” sits within an album that blends jazz, soul, highlife, spoken-word elements, and Somi’s African musical influences. The project was written and recorded across Dakar, Lagos, Paris, and New York City, reflecting the global perspective that continues to shape her artistry. The song follows “Ngayaya” on the tracklist and comes immediately before “Interlude: Skin to Skin,” helping carry the album toward its closing stretch.
