Dumomi The Jig’s “My Own” takes a fairly traditional approach to the subject of love for a woman with expressions of devotion, appeals to formal commitment and even declarations of wanting to meet her parents and introduce her to his own. It’s a tender gesture of getting approval of and sanction for what he already knows is real and enduring love. The song itself is like a dub ballad sung in both English and Nigerian Pidgin with layers of soft percussion and sensuous rhythms with luminous tones bursting softly in the background and sax adding a touch of dynamic mood that lingers and trails perfectly into a stream of sounds that fade into what is almost an unfinished sentence of music suggesting that this story of love is always going to be continued.
