Tolü Makay - Mind & Body

Oliver Bouchard

Mar 10, 2024 — 1 min read

Tolü Makay moved from Nigeria to Ireland at the age of five—a change that must have been hard to cope with for a little kid. So, she found songwriting as an outlet to process her experiences. With her beautiful new single, “Mind & Body,” she gives us profound advice on how to navigate those moments when everything seems to be too much.

Tolü says:

“’Mind & Body’ explores the anxiety we feel when our body is numb to the moment while our mind is drowning in senses, screaming for us to be present in the here and now. It’s about allowing ourselves to breathe, about taking care of our bodies, about being present even when everything is moving so rapidly. In this cultural moment we are so concerned and cornered by our thoughts, our appearance, our voices and narratives that we tell ourselves. It is so hard to simply just be. ‘Mind & Body’ is a reminder to be present. To come together. Not just with yourself, but with each other. In Mind and Body.”
