The Rap Sensation in Namibia The Lioness releases her eagerly awaited new album, “If Not In This Life”

With “If Not In This Life,” her much awaited third studio album, Namibian rap sensation Lioness makes a triumphant comeback. The album was first envisioned two years ago while Lioness was expecting her first kid. The rap artist wanted to create freely and without the constraints of other expectations.

She did, however, have periods of uncertainty after giving baby and thought about giving up music entirely. Lioness’s determination to demonstrate that motherhood should not mean the end of one’s aspirations and goals gave her the strength to continue her artistic career, which resulted in a body of work that not only

captures her unwavering spirit and a highly personal voyage of self-discovery, yet it is her best work to date. Lioness’s lifeline is music, and this album is a testament to her commitment to her art, believing that even if her aspirations do not come true in this life, they will undoubtedly in the next.

The title of the album reflects the fleeting nature of life and the value of living in the present. The album opens our eyes and inspires us to follow our passions without reservation. Sonically, the 13-track opus features Lioness boldly experimenting with various genres and soundscapes, which is evidence of her artistic development and versatility. It also explores themes of cultural identity, women’s empowerment, romance, creative freedom, and living life to the fullest.

The CD honors Lioness’ Namibian heritage while showcasing her wide range of musical styles and international influences. She demonstrates her heritage as one of the ladies influencing African rap music and culture, exudes confidence throughout the entire record, and establishes herself as a formidable force in international music.

Before launching “If Not In This Life” with the futuristic afro-eclectic atmosphere of “Tic Tac” and the summer-driven rap songs “Selecta” and “Pull,” Lioness opens with a touching interlude featuring her daughter.

Up. While Lioness adds her own Namibian spin to her South African neighbors’ well-known Amapiano sound in “Omapiyano,” the thumping, vogue-inducing “Ooh La La” is a genuine dance music phenomenon.

Elsewhere on the record, Lioness is in spectacular form and boastful mood on the soulful song “Feel Good,” exposes her amorous side with slick lyrics on “Alive,” and defies the opulent rap sounds on the reflective song “Never Won.”

As she closes “If Not In This Life” with the magnificent “See You Again” and “Fame,” the reflection and confidence keep growing. All things considered, “If Not In This Life” is Lioness at her best musically, presenting her most ambitious and compelling work to date.
