Nigerian singer and songwriter Seyi Shay has opened up about her four-year break from the music scene, explaining that it was an intentional period of isolation dedicated to self-reflection and transformation.
Speaking in an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the “Right Now” crooner described her hiatus as a journey that reshaped her mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
“I have done so much work over these past four years. The transformation of my mind started before I had my child. I started a journey of isolation,” she said. “There is something really good about isolation. I was blessed with hindsight, insight, and foresight, and I think that’s the biggest gift besides my daughter that God has given me in these few years.”
Seyi Shay revealed that her retreat began before the birth of her daughter and provided her the space to gain clarity about her life, music, and relationships. She described isolation as a blessing that gave her a renewed sense of purpose.
The singer also reflected on how her spirituality has deepened over the years, noting that it has elevated her to what she called “a different vibrational level.”
“My spirituality has also transformed, and I am vibrating on such a different level now that I actually feel very comfortable with men. I love all the men. It is a man’s world,” she said.
Seyi Shay’s revelations mark one of her first in-depth reflections since stepping away from the spotlight, offering fans a glimpse into the personal and spiritual growth that shaped her new outlook on life.
