SWEET TOOTH, the debut full-length by halimabot, is structured like a long night out. Starting out with moments of tranquility and peace, the tension slowly climbs as spectral ballads give way to sleek club bangers that mix Afro-futurism with '90s R&B nostalgia.⁠ ⁠ The singer, who was raised between Lagos and London, dives into feelings of yearning, metamorphosis, and finding self-worth amid period of personal struggle. Songs like the sensual and boppy"eau de vie" provide a blueprint on being vulnerable without having to surrender power.⁠ ⁠ To celebrate the upcoming album, due out on September 19, Halima threw a party at Damballa in Brooklyn. "It was the launch of a party series I am calling Club Cocoa (after the song "cocoa body")" she explains. "I wasn’t sure what to expect. But the room was filled with beautiful club sirens, I felt like I was home." ⁠ ⁠ See exclusive photos from the night and her full Opener questionnaire at the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ #TheOpener #Halima
