1) A Neo-Soul/Hip-Hop duo; 2) An electronic artist from France
1) OSHUN is a Iya-sol (Neo-Soul/Hip-Hop) duo comprised of DMV natives Niambi Sala and Thandiwe, both 19. Their sisterhood was manifested in March 2013 when the two met as incoming freshmen at a scholarship orientation at NYU. After an instant connection, OSHUN made their debut at the orientation’s talent showcase in 2014.
Niambi Sala has been a vocalist and musician her entire life and was raised in a musical home. She moved to NYC to continue her career as a student at the Clive Davis Institute at NYU. Thandiwe came to NYU to study Journalism and Africana Studies. During her initial time in NYC, she dabbled in music production. At the end of their first semester, Thandi and Niambi decided to pursue their collaboration seriously.
The name OSHUN is homage to a Yoruba river deity (Osun) and her sisters (Yemoja and Oya) who all represent elements of femininity and womanhood. Since their debut EP “AFAHYE” in March of 2014, OSHUN has amassed a fan base of over 10,000. OSHUN has gained attention from numerous publications, including Complex, Huffington Post, Okayplayer, Afropunk, Deli Magazine, Impose Magazine, Nu-Soul Mag and more, and have over 120K plays on SoundCloud, and 80K views on YouTube. OSHUN toured throughout the greater NYC area in 2014, and performed in major cities such as their home city Washington, DC and Philadelphia. “ASASE YAA” is their debut mixtape and was released to celebrate Earth Day.
Their goal is to share Oshun/JAH/LOVE/LIGHT ‘s peaceful omnipresence for the bigger purpose of empowering women, and all people, instilling confidence, cultural pride, and self-respect. This bigger purpose is within a re-emerging movement of cultural realignment, awareness, and creativity.

2) Oshun is an electronic project by Clément based out of Lyon, France. Their latest album, Occult Interface was released in May of 2017.
"A tension force system enslaved by sound entities.
It's the layout of conflicting sound, contraction and reversal.
The interface connecting the visible to the invisible.
Night breath, breath of life."

Oshun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just give me some time, just make me feel lucky
When you lay with me at night
And when the sun comes up we can lie
And say that you don't care, I'm big enough to handle it
Just playing with my hair and kiss you while the candles lit
Your secrets safe with me, no I won't tell
I don't mind if you hurt me
I tell myself I need you
You don't feel the same
And double standards taught me I should let you play the game but I'm not ashamed of playing the fool...
Just call me beautiful
You tell me things like "Yo" even though we know it's not true
You make promises of things we both know you won't do
Boy it's cool
I'll crumble alone and you gonn live your life and only fuck when in the zone And yeah you make me moan, I put you on a throne
You won't pick up your phone but baby you make me feel grown
So I persist to give you everything you want
Even though you've kept it real with me, you have been blunt
Saying, that we won't be together
That this is only lust and never equals never
I'm on the same page as you, there's nothing that I can explain to you
To show you I...
I just keep on giving
I cannot keep living for you
Got my mind spinning 'round
You gon let me drown but I'm sick of falling
I wanna rise to love, rise to love, rise
Rise, rise
Rise (rise)
Rise (rise)
Rise (rise)
Rise (rise)
A weak woman goes where she is smiled at but I've never seen a smile quite like yours
Said He loves me, he loves me not
Well he's not sure but he knows he wants me
Yeah he said I'm making him hot, hot, hot
So I let him take my top off
I don't know, thinking "Maybe things would pop off"
Sparks flew in the physical, signals to his mental for a certain type of spiritual relationship but...
He just want the rythm of my hips
Placing seldom kisses upon my lips you know, that quick fix satisfaction bridging to nowhere
And fatal attraction like "Woah there"
"Why did we go there so fast"
We knew the purely mad ever never last
No moon or glass outside the (?)
Why you bragging about my ass to your friends and I notice it all begins with my issues with men
That's why...
I keep on defending the fact that I'm depending on you
I know it's true that...
A weak woman goes where she is smiled at but I've never seen a smile quite like yours
Whether you love me or love me not
I'll adore you forever more
And I'll just keep on giving
I cannot keep living for you
Got my mind spinning 'round
You gon let me drown but I'm sick of falling
I wanna raise to love, raise to love, raise
Rise, rise
Rise
Rise
Rise
Rise
The lyrics of "Sango" by Oshun depict a complex and emotionally charged relationship dynamic where the singer is deeply infatuated with someone who does not feel the same. She is aware of his true intentions yet continues to give him everything he wants, hoping to change his mind. The lines, "No pressure, you don't have to love me, just give me some time, just make me feel lucky" indicate her willingness to settle for less than love and just the person's attention for the time being.
She is aware that she is playing herself by constantly giving, but still persists because she is so drawn to this person. The lines "A weak woman goes where she is smiled at but I've never seen a smile quite like yours" denote that she is aware of her own weakness and how she is being taken advantage of, yet she is bound to this person by their unique charm. Despite the pain caused by the lack of reciprocity, the singer is determined to rise up and find true love, hence the repetition of "rise" in the chorus.
Overall, "Sango" is a song that captures the difficulty of letting go of toxic relationships and the internal turmoil that comes with being deeply infatuated with someone who does not feel the same. The lyrics are poetic, honest, and relatable to anyone who has experienced unrequited love.
Line by Line Meaning
No pressure, you don't have to love me
I don't want to force you to love me
Just give me some time, just make me feel lucky
Take your time, but make me feel special in the meantime
When you lay with me at night
When we spend the night together
And when the sun comes up we can lie
And we can pretend that everything is okay when the morning comes
And say that you don't care, I'm big enough to handle it
You can act like you don't care, but I can handle it
Just playing with my hair and kiss you while the candles lit
I'll play with your hair and kiss you while the candles are lit
Your secrets safe with me, no I won't tell
I promise to keep your secrets safe, I won't tell anyone
I don't mind if you hurt me
I can handle the pain if you hurt me
It's my own fault that I fell
It's my fault that I fell for you
I tell myself I need you
I convince myself that I need you
You don't feel the same
You don't have the same feelings for me
And double standards taught me I should let you play the game but I'm not ashamed of playing the fool...
Society tells me I should let you cheat on me, but I'm not ashamed of being naive
Just call me beautiful
You can call me beautiful
You tell me things like "Yo" even though we know it's not true
You say things like "I love you" even though we both know it's not true
You make promises of things we both know you won't do
You make promises that I know you won't keep
Boy it's cool
It's okay
I'll crumble alone and you gon live your life and only fuck when in the zone
I'll be alone and you'll only have sex with me when you're in the mood
And yeah you make me moan, I put you on a throne
Even though you don't love me, you still make me feel good and I still see you as my king
You won't pick up your phone but baby you make me feel grown
You don't answer my calls, but being with you makes me feel mature
So I persist to give you everything you want
I keep trying to give you everything you desire
Even though you've kept it real with me, you have been blunt
Even though you've been honest with me, you've been direct
Saying, that we won't be together
You've said that we won't have a future together
That this is only lust and never equals never
You see our relationship as purely physical with no potential for more
I'm on the same page as you, there's nothing that I can explain to you
I agree with you, and there's nothing I can say to make you feel differently
I just keep on giving
I keep trying to meet your needs
I cannot keep living for you
I can't keep living solely for your sake
Got my mind spinning 'round
My mind is confused and overwhelmed
You gon let me drown but I'm sick of falling
You're letting me struggle, but I'm tired of being hurt
I wanna rise to love, rise to love, rise
I want to find real love
A weak woman goes where she is smiled at but I've never seen a smile quite like yours
In the past, I've settled for any man who showed me attention, but I'm drawn to you for reasons I can't explain
Said He loves me, he loves me not
You're unsure if you love me or not
Well he's not sure but he knows he wants me
You might not be in love with me, but you want me in your life
Yeah he said I'm making him hot, hot, hot
You're physically attracted to me
So I let him take my top off
I let you seduce me
I don't know, thinking "Maybe things would pop off"
I thought maybe we could have a real connection
Sparks flew in the physical, signals to his mental for a certain type of spiritual relationship but...
We had a physical connection, and I hoped it would lead to something deeper
He just want the rhythm of my hips
You only want sex
Placing seldom kisses upon my lips you know, that quick fix satisfaction bridging to nowhere
Our occasional kisses don't lead us anywhere meaningful
And fatal attraction like "Woah there"
Our relationship is intense and dangerous
"Why did we go there so fast"
We got physical too quickly
We knew the purely mad ever never last
We both knew that our passionate relationship couldn't last
No moon or glass outside the (?)
I can't understand this line without context
Why you bragging about my ass to your friends and I notice it all begins with my issues with men
You're objectifying me when you talk about my body to your friends, and I realize it's because I have a history of being mistreated by men
That's why...
That's the reason why
Whether you love me or love me not
Whether you love me or not
I'll adore you forever more
I'll always care about you, even if you don't love me back
Rise, rise
To rise up and find true love
Rise
To find love
Rise
To rise above the hurt and find real love
Rise
To find true love
Rise
To rise above the pain and find happiness in love

Verse 1: Thandi]
No pressure, you don’t have to love me
Just give me some time, just make me feel lucky
When you lay with me night
And when the sun comes up to meet the light
You say that you don’t care
I’m big enough to handle it
Just play in my hair and kiss me while the candles lit
Your secrets safe with me and I won’t tell
I don't mind if you hurt me it’s my own fault that I fell
And I tell myself I need you, but you don’t feel the same
And double standards taught me I should let you play the game
But I’m not ashamed of playing the fool
Just call me beautiful
You tell me things like you'll leave her when we both know that’s not true
And make promises of the things we both know you won’t do
Boy it’s cool, I’ll crumble alone
And you gone live your life and only fuck when in the zone
And yeah you make me moan
I put you on a throne; you won’t pick up your phone
But baby you make me feel grown
So I persist to give you everything you want
Even though you kept it real with me and you been blunt
Saying that we won’t be together and this is only lust
And never equals never
I’m on the same page as you
There’s nothing that I can explain to you
To show you why

[Chorus 1: Niambi]
I just keep on giving
I cannot keep living for you
Got my mind spinning round
You gon' let me drown
But I’m sick of falling
I wanna rise to love
Rise to love
Rise
[Verse 2: Niambi]
A weak woman goes where she is smiled at
But I've never seen a smile quite like yours
Said he loves me, he loves me not
Well he’s not sure but he knows he wants me
Yeah he said I’m making him hot hot hot
And so I let him take my top off
I don’t know thinking maybe things will pop off
Or sparks from the physical signals to his mental for a certain type of spiritual relationship
But, he just want the rhythm of my hips
Placing seldom kisses upon my lips
You know that quick fix satisfaction
Bridging to nowhere, a fatal attraction
Like whoa there, why did we go there so fast?
We knew that purely matter never ever last
Now morning glass outside looking in
While your bragging bout my ass to your friends
And I know this all begins with my issues with men
That’s why
[Chorus 2: Niambi]
I keep on defending
The fact that I’m depending on you
I know it’s true that
A weak woman goes where she is smiled at
But I’ve never seen a smile quite like yours
Whether you love me or love me not
I’ll adore you forever more
[Chorus 1:]
And I’ll just keep on giving
I cannot keep living for you
Got my mind spinning round
You gon' let me drown
But I’m sick of falling
I wanna rise to love
Rise to love

Back in the 70s there arose a consciousness just like what we're witnessing today with this two beautiful and talented young sisters. That consciousness is back. Hopefully this time we don't let the powers that be sabotage it again.
