I need to draw this little freckled cutie more and this a good brief insight of what she’s like both in battle and around her friends.

Obehi belongs to @aijuice / @squoobi

usually when Mint sees people he knows from Octo Valley he’s polite enough to greet them. Which wouldn’t be such a problem if he hadn’t been kidnapped and later presumed dead

That’s Obehi. She belongs to @squibits

Obehi is something of a new name on the R&B scene, originally born in Nigeria but now residing in Glasgow, she's been busy making a name for herself across Scotland is now ready to unleash her music further afield with her debut EP, Everything.

Obehi writes all her own material has taken influences from everyone from Marvin Gaye and Luther Vandross to India Arie and Beyonce among others, whilst trying to convey her own feelings in an open and honest manner. So far so good I hear you cry, well not quite, in truth this is R&B by numbers, there's nothing massively original or inspiring here.

Take the opening title track for example, Obehi coos gently about how she'd do anything and everything for her man, it's all very sweet but a little too lyrically obvious and then there's the production, which again is predictable and a little flat.

For You follows and sees the beat count increase, aiming squarely for the dancefloor, but once again missing the target, there's no real energy and the vocal effects are horrible, masking the only appealing factor of the song.

Obehi has a real nice vulnerable voice, but she needs a better outlet. Stronger songs and better production will help her cause, I hope she manages to bounce back with a tearjerking ballad or strong floor filler, but for now Obehi is just another average R&B act in a faceless league of wannabes.
