Today, rising star Ebenezer releases a new project 53 Sundays. The 13-track project stands as a testimony to Ebenezer’s versatile and unique talent; touching on issues of religion, family and determination all of which were central to making Ebenezer the man he is today. The project includes recent single “Glory” as well as lead track “53 Sundays,” which was accompanied by a cinematic visual shot in New Orleans and premiered via i-D.
“The overall concept of 53 Sundays is false prophets & blind faith. Me losing faith in religion and turning to this ‘get it by any means’ hustler lifestyle, made me question everything I’ve ever believed in. I don’t look to leaders to lead me. I am the master of my own fate and destiny. Growing up we never had anything, barely enough to put milk in our cereal, so we made due with water. From cousins who were supposed to be family kicking us out on the streets, thinking we need salvation, we need a miracle. We make our own miracles! 53 Sundays is my truth," speaks Ebenezer.
In a few short years he’s worked with the likes of Craig David, Jeremih, Ty Dolla $ign, Rejjie Snow, Stefflon Don and ADP. His previous releases, including Cliche and “When I Call Em,” saw Ebenezer as he carved the unique path he’s set for himself - one of emotionally tinged R&B with hints of trap, completely void of the usual pretence that’s flooded the genre. In a way, it could be described as conscious turn-up music, but without a holier than thou message it’s simply real. Ebenezer is telling his stories to the world. And when you look at the rest of the British scene, he’s created his own sound.
His debut project Bad Romantic truly showcased his signature UK rap aesthetic. An ode to real romance, the EP jumps from energetic deeper trap sounds on tracks like "Till I Die" and "Catch Feelings" and transitions to slower vides with more emotive tracks like "South of France" and "Nostalgia," overall rounding this project off as a stunning first release from Ebenezer.
“I’m learning how to express more about the things I wouldn’t share with people, the only way I can share it is through music,” he says. “I talk about my family, the struggles of it all, four people sleeping in a double bed in a box room with no radiator, using our bodies for warmth.”
