Week 40 of the Vibes Web3 Music Competition has officially arrived, and I’m excited to be part of it once again. This week, I’ll be performing a bass guitar cover of “What You Want” by Ojurere — a song that immediately struck me with its balance of soulful energy and uplifting undertones.
The beauty of this track lies in its duality. On one hand, it carries a deeply reflective mood, inviting listeners to sit with feelings of heartbreak and longing. On the other, it radiates a sense of hope, clarity, and self-expression. This blend is what makes the piece so special to me — it’s music that doesn’t just tell a story, it feels like one.
For this week’s no-theme round, I felt the song was the perfect choice. It allows me to explore a wide emotional range on my instrument, from the subtle groove of softer moments to the full-bodied resonance that comes with passion and groove.
Through my rendition, my goal is to capture not only the technical aspects of the song but also the raw emotion behind its message. At its heart, the song is about balance — the push and pull between desire and reflection, hope and heartbreak, passion and restraint. Translating that onto the bass guitar has been both challenging and rewarding.
The Vibes community continues to inspire me week after week. This competition is more than just a digital stage; it’s a movement where artists from around the globe come together to celebrate creativity, expression, and the possibilities of Web3 in music. I remain grateful to the team behind the model, whose hard work ensures that Vibes stands tall as the biggest digital stage for music in the Web3 space.
I truly hope this performance resonates with you as much as it did with me while preparing it. If you find value in my cover, I’d appreciate your support — please upvote, comment, and reblog so it can reach more eyes and ears.
See you next week for another exciting entry. Until then, stay inspired, stay creative, and keep the vibes alive.
