Namibian rap sensation Lioness is back, and she’s not holding back! Her third studio album, If Not In This Life, is a powerful declaration of resilience, ambition, and passion. Born out of a journey filled with joy, doubts, and rediscovery after becoming a mother, this album shatters the outdated myth that motherhood marks the end of dreams. Instead, it stands as a bold statement that you can have it all—love, life, and legendary music!
From the very first interlude featuring her daughter’s voice, you’re instantly wrapped up in Lioness’s personal story, which unfolds over 13 diverse tracks. The album kicks off with the irresistible groove of Tic Tac, setting a futuristic Afro-pop vibe that’s equal parts catchy and empowering. Tracks like Selecta and Pull Up bring the heat with summer-ready rap anthems, while Ooh La La cranks up the dance floor vibes with a pop banger that’s destined to be on repeat.
Lioness doesn’t just stay within her comfort zone; she boldly dives into new genres, embracing her Namibian roots along the way. Omapiyano is a standout track that adds her own twist to the popular Amapiano sound, showing Lioness’s versatility and commitment to exploring new musical landscapes.
But it’s not just beats and rhymes—Lioness gets real about love, ambition, and finding joy in unexpected places. Feel Good offers soulful swagger, while Alive shows off her romantic side. The album’s final tracks, See You Again and Fame, capture a mix of introspection and triumph, rounding off an album that’s as real as it gets.
Lioness has once again proven why she’s one of Africa’s most exciting voices in hip-hop, pop, and R&B. This isn’t just an album; it’s a celebration of life, motherhood, and unapologetic ambition. With If Not In This Life, Lioness has delivered her most ambitious project yet—a must-listen for anyone who loves bold, boundary-pushing music!
