The EP’s release will be accompanied by an exclusive live showcase with the “London street band”, bringing the music to life in an immersive experience.
Musically, “SCARED” is a bold fusion of Afropop, RnB, Rap, and Amapiano**, reflecting TîMMY’s genre-blending artistry. Built on soulful melodies, dynamic drum patterns, and a hypnotic log drum groove, the track features Will on saxophone, adding a jazzy touch, and Keith Kugo providing rich backing vocals. Producer tinaye helped shape the song’s final sound, elevating its emotional depth and rhythmic energy.
Lyrically, “SCARED” dives into the struggle of overcoming self-doubt and fear, particularly the fear of failure and the vulnerability of being seen. TîMMY challenges the idea that falling should hold us back, instead embracing it as a natural part of growth.
“I wrote ‘SCARED’ when I was afraid to fully share who I was with the world,” says TîMMY. “I realized fear doesn’t define me, it's just part of the process. This song is about breaking through that fear, trusting your path, and knowing you’re not alone in the process.”
