The artist composes this new song as a lyrical ballad, using rubato to allow for emotional timing and expression. Skales layers soulful harmonies over a mid-tempo Afrobeats groove, creating an evocative sound that mirrors his journey through grief and growth.
Following the passing of his mother, Martina, in 2022, Skales turned pain into purpose. Speaking candidly, he said:
“Her death made me wise up. Everything I am today started with her.”
Since its release, “Martina’s Son” has quickly gained traction on Spotify, Apple Music, AudioMack, and other major platforms. It also premiered exclusively on several top Nigerian radio stations, giving fans a first-listen experience that sparked emotional reactions.
In an interview with MAX FM, Skales opened up about his career path. He reflected on his humble beginnings, saying:
“If you knew my story, you’d understand it’s not luck, or plug but it’s God.”
He emphasized that faith, resilience, and his mother’s influence pushed him forward not industry connections or chance. That message rings clearly in this track, as the lyrics build from low dynamic introspection to a crescendo of self-awareness and gratitude.
Ultimately, “Martina’s Son” resonates as more than music; it’s an emotional anthem for anyone navigating loss, and a reminder that real stories strike the deepest chords.
