ONNA which means ‘Only Now Never Again’ wants you to concentrate on the hypnotic beats and loops of Motions. Track one ‘iwannit’ samples a singer serenading the words ‘I want it’ with ONNA looping the verse into a calm but electrifying beat. ‘mnmlloop’ is an infectious track infused with a nocturnal feeling, while the fifth track, ‘damotionz’, takes listeners on a mesmerizing journey with its ethereal melodies and soothing rhythms.
With Motions, ONNA skillfully blends ambient sounds and intricate percussion to create a truly immersive experience. As the tape progresses, the listener is captivated by the unique soundscapes, and emotional depth represented on each track. Motions is a testament to ONNA’s talent and ability to evoke a range of emotions through his music. This album left dreamy atmospheric and gentle melodies to our ears and leaves the listener in a state of calm introspection.
ONNA’s ability to create such a diverse range of emotions within a single project is truly impressive. Motions is a must-listen for anyone seeking a captivating and emotional musical experience. Aside from the beautifully produced beat tape, the album cover is a breathtaking collage of nature, a statue and a musician playing an instrument.
