 Music/Radio › New Album: I Wish I Asked You To Stay — 30 Late Night Soul Jazz Songs For Heartb by hotmolo(op): 10:24am On Sep 22 |
I wanted this release to feel more like a proper album drop, not just another random YouTube link. So here it is: I WISH I ASKED YOU TO STAY A 30-song Late Night Soul Jazz project built around heartbreak, regret, missing someone, and those small memories that hit hardest after a relationship ends. Some of the tracks are: I Wish I Asked You to Stay The Night We Stopped Saying Goodbye I Still Check the Passenger Seat You Left Before I Knew We Were Over I Remember the Last Time You Called Me Baby I Almost Said I Love You One More Time The House Still Feels Different After You I Still Wait for Your Goodnight The full project runs for over 2 hours, so this is more for people who like putting on music late at night and just letting it play. Deep male vocals, slow soul, jazz, blues, warm piano, guitar, and that kind of quiet heartbreak sound. 🎧 Listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsVfkFgarrU I added the release artwork too, because I wanted it to feel like an actual album release and not just a plain forum post. One question for people here: What hurts more after a breakup — the actual breakup itself, or the small everyday things that keep reminding you of the person afterwards? For me, I think it’s usually the small things. Those ones can catch you off guard badly.

| Music/Radio › Have You Ever Regretted Not Holding Someone Longer Before They Left? by hotmolo(op): 7:33am On Sep 20 |
Some memories don’t really look important when they happen. You hug someone, they leave, and you assume there will be another day, another conversation, another chance. Then later you realize that was actually the last time. I made a new late-night soul jazz album around that exact feeling — regret, missing someone, heartbreak, and those small moments that suddenly become heavy after someone is gone. The first song is called I Should Have Held You Longer. You can listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rL1wND61hE Best with headphones, especially at night. For people who have experienced heartbreak before, which one usually hurts more: the actual breakup, or the small things you keep remembering afterwards? |
| Music/Radio › Jazz Lovers, What Do You Think Of This Kind Of Late Night Soul Jazz? by hotmolo(op): 12:21pm On Sep 14 |
I’ve been experimenting with a more relaxed late-night soul/jazz sound and I’d really like to hear what jazz and soul lovers here think about it. The project is called: I Miss You Most at Night — Late Night Soul Jazz It’s slow, mellow, emotional, and meant more for those quiet evenings when you just want something smooth playing in the background without too much noise or heavy beats. There’s deep male vocals, Rhodes, soft bluesy guitar, upright bass and brushed drums, so it sits somewhere between soul, blues and smooth late-night jazz. You can listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFmb6uMKXA4 If this is your kind of vibe, I’d recommend using headphones or a good headset. The mix is much more relaxing that way, especially at night. For the jazz/soul people here, I’m curious: Does this actually feel like soul-jazz to you? Would you listen to something like this while relaxing, driving at night or just sitting quietly? And if it’s simply your kind of music, just enjoy it and let it play. No pressure to comment. |

| Music/Radio › Re: Sometimes I Just Get Tired Of Everything, But Life Must Go On by hotmolo(op): 1:58pm On Sep 11 |
hotmolo:There was actually a period when this thing hit me very hard. I had skills. I knew I could work. I knew I wasn’t lazy. But somehow, job no dey come. You apply, apply, apply… nothing. Sometimes you even get close, do interviews, start thinking maybe this one will finally work out, then everywhere just goes quiet again. After some time, e started affecting me mentally. You start asking yourself, “So wetin exactly dey wrong with me?” You see people moving forward, getting jobs, posting wins, doing well, and you’re there wondering why your own life is just standing still despite everything you know how to do. That period, I was really depressed. I felt very alone too, because most people around you may not even understand how bad it is. From outside you still look normal. You can laugh, gist, even encourage another person, but once you’re alone, your mind starts dealing with you. I even reached a point where I was having thoughts about ending everything. That part scared me because normally, you don’t imagine yourself thinking that way. But somehow I kept going. Small small. One day at a time. Looking back now, one thing I learnt is that unemployment can really mess with somebody’s confidence and mental health, especially when you know you have something to offer but nobody is giving you the opportunity. That experience is actually part of why some of these songs are coming from this kind of place. Not just heartbreak. Sometimes na life itself dey weigh person down. I’m curious though, has anybody here ever gone through a period where joblessness, money problems or just feeling stuck really affected you mentally? How did you survive that period? |
| Music/Radio › Sometimes I Just Get Tired Of Everything, But Life Must Go On by hotmolo(op): 1:57pm On Sep 11 |
Sometimes I just get tired of everything. Not in the sense of giving up, but just that kind of tiredness where you are doing your best, working, trying to sort out money, family issues, career, future, everything at once, and you still feel like you are not really where you want to be. The funny thing is, people around you may not even know. You still go out. You still laugh. You still tell people you are fine. You still answer calls and solve other people's problems. But once everywhere gets quiet, that's when your mind starts bringing everything back. Money. Age. Things you thought you would have achieved by now. People you don't talk to enough. Mistakes you still remember. Dreams you quietly abandoned somewhere along the way. I have been working on some music around that kind of feeling, and I finally put the songs together into one album. It's called: When The Night Gets Heavy Some of the songs are: Everybody Thinks I'm Doing Fine I Work Hard And Still Feel Behind I'm Running Out Of Time In My Head Some Dreams Got Quiet Along The Way I Cry Where Nobody Can See Me I've Made Mistakes I Still Think About What If This Is As Good As It Gets? If you like slow soul music you can listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I70sXJmFS6g But forget the music sef. Have you ever reached a point where you are not exactly sad, but you are just tired of carrying plenty things at the same time? And what normally helps you when you get to that point? |
| Music/Radio › I Saw Your Picture Today — A Soul Song For Anyone An Old Photo Has Ever Broken by hotmolo(op): 5:40pm On Sep 01 |
You ever think you've finally moved on from somebody, then one random picture just resets your brain? 😂 Not even because you went looking for it. Maybe you're scrolling through your gallery, Google Photos decides to show you "memories", or you come across an old picture somewhere. Next thing you're just staring at the photo like... "Ah. So this is what we're doing tonight?" 😂 That's basically the idea behind this one. I made a new Late Night Soul track called: I SAW YOUR PICTURE TODAY It's about that strange moment where one picture brings back a whole period of your life — the person, conversations, places, little memories, everything. If you're into slow soul, deep male vocals and those kind of songs you listen to when everywhere is quiet, you might like this one. 🎧 Listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsmqvS4nczk Preferably headphones + night time. And I'm actually curious: Have you ever randomly seen an old picture of someone you used to love and it genuinely affected your mood? Did you delete the picture afterwards... or did you quietly keep it? 😂 |

I Saw Your Picture Today — Late Night Soul Been listening to this one tonight. Slow, emotional soul with deep male vocals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsmqvS4nczk Best with headphones when everywhere is quiet. |
| Music/Radio › Can AI Music Ever Feel Emotional, Or Are We Just Being Fooled By Better Producti by hotmolo(op): 10:27am On Aug 24 |
AI music is getting better fast, especially with vocals, soul/R&B, gospel, and emotional ballads. I tried an experiment recently: creating a long Late Night Soul/R&B project with AI, aiming for deep male vocals, Rhodes keys, blues guitar, heartbreak, loneliness, and that midnight reflective feeling. My question is this: Can AI-generated music actually feel emotional to listeners, or are we only reacting to familiar sounds and production tricks? I’m curious what people here think: - Can you personally enjoy AI music if it sounds good? - Does knowing it is AI-generated reduce the emotion for you? - Where do you usually notice that a song was made with AI? For context, this is the experiment I made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJw3ao8G6L4 I’m not hiding that it is AI-generated. I want honest opinions on whether this kind of music has a future or whether listeners will reject it once they know how it was made. |
| Music/Radio › I Created A 2hr 40min Late Night Soul Album With AI - Need Honest Feedback by hotmolo(op): 10:21am On Aug 24 |
I recently experimented with creating a full Late Night Soul/R&B album using AI music tools. The sound I was going for is slow soul: deep male vocals, Rhodes keys, blues guitar, heartbreak, loneliness, and that quiet midnight feeling. I would like honest feedback from music lovers here: - Does it actually sound soulful? - Does the AI production give itself away? - Is a long 2hr 40min album too much, or should I split it into shorter releases? You can listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJw3ao8G6L4 If you only want to try one track, start from 00:00: “When the Room Gets Quiet”. Please be honest. I’m trying to know what works and what doesn’t. |

Me first 😂 Mine was when I woke up around 1am and saw she was online. I said okay… she's awake. I'm awake. Maybe the universe is trying to tell us something. 😭 Opened WhatsApp. Typed “I miss you.” Deleted it. Typed “You up?” Deleted it. Typed “Hey stranger 😂” Looked at myself and said have some dignity please. So I locked my phone. 3 minutes later I unlocked it to check if she was still online. 😭😭 This continued until she went offline. Imagine feeling rejected by somebody you didn't even message. 😂😂😂 That was when I knew heartbreak had turned me into an unpaid security guard monitoring somebody's online status. Anyway, that's partly the kind of night this playlist is for 😂👇 Your turn. What's the most shameless thing heartbreak has made you do? No judgment here. 😂 1 Like |

You people that have “moved on” during the daytime, this thread is not for you. 😂 I’m talking about those of you that are very strong by 2pm. Going to work, eating, laughing at memes, even advising other people about relationships. Then 11pm reaches. You enter bed. Everywhere becomes quiet. Suddenly your brain says: “Oya, shall we remember everything she/he did?” 😭 Next thing you're checking somebody's last seen, opening old pictures you swore you deleted, or composing one useless “Hey, hope you're good” message that God is begging you not to send. 😂 If this is you tonight, abeg don't call your ex. Put your earphones on and play this instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJw3ao8G6L4 Leave it playing while you're about to sleep. It's about 2+ hours of slow soul, heartbreak and deep male vocals, so at least let somebody else do the suffering on your behalf. 😂 Heartbroken people, report here: what is that one stupid thing you still do because you miss your ex? No forming maturity please. We are all strangers here. 😭😂 1 Like 1 Share |

I’ve been experimenting with something outside the usual Afrobeats/pop direction and I’m curious what Nigerians here actually think. I made a long-form soul project built around late-night listening — deep male vocals, slow soulful production, heartbreak, loneliness and those quiet moments when you’ve had a stressful day and just want something playing in the background. The idea isn’t really “party music.” It’s more the kind of thing you put on when you’re alone at night, driving, working late or just trying to clear your head. I’m obviously biased because I worked on it, so I’d rather hear from strangers. If you listen for 2–5 minutes, does the sound actually make you want to keep it playing, or does it feel too slow/artificial? I’m especially interested in what gives it away if it sounds AI-generated — vocals, lyrics, production, repetition, anything.

Currently listening to Sad Soul Songs to Cry To — Deep Male Vocals for Lonely Nights. Been in a late-night soul mood lately, slow deep male vocals, heartbreak type sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJw3ao8G6L4 Track 1 and I Still Hear You in the Hall are probably my favourites so far. |
