Ononi is making waves with her latest single, “Pure Wickedness,” a sultry and hypnotic track. This isn’t a typical love song; it’s a compelling exploration of mutual attraction that defies logic and embraces the thrill of a “bad idea.”
The song sets a bold tone from the start, with the line, “I’ve been wicked before… you’ve got the vibe too…” Over slinky basslines and funk-inspired rhythms, the alternative soul artiste navigates a flirtation where seduction becomes a power play. Her commanding vocals perfectly capture the push-and-pull dynamic of a situationship that’s impossible to ignore.
“This isn’t a love song,” Ononi explains. “It’s about that magnetic pull toward someone all wrong for you, and not regretting a second of it.”
The track’s production mirrors this sentiment, with an intense, intimate soundscape that draws listeners in. With lyrics like, “You wanna take this body home… it won’t give you what you’re dreaming of,” Ononi showcases a self-aware, emotionally strong character who refuses to be anyone’s fantasy.
“Pure Wickedness,” now streaming on all major platforms, solidifies Ononi’s place as a fresh, powerful voice in the alt-soul genre, delivering a track that is both emotionally charged and undeniably catchy.
