The POINT LESS podcast with Ola Onabule: Throwaway Notion

The POINT LESS podcast with Ola Onabule presents: ‘Throwaway Notion’, the second track from POINT LESS, the new album by Ola Onabule.

Onabule wrote ‘Throwaway Notion’ during that period a couple of years ago in which there was an overwhelming amount of discussion about immigration. With alarming speed, expressions of xenophobia that had been left fallow for some time reseeded themselves and were shoe-horned into the arena of acceptability. The song talks about the disconcerting speed with which noble and lofty ideals can be eroded and replaced with fear and mistrust of the outsider. It talks about how diabolical but effective is the cruel genius of ‘scapegoating’ them for the misdeeds and failures of people in power.

The POINT LESS podcast is a series that boldly expresses views on social injustice. It is an activist’s call — at once a celebration of life and a cautionary take on the social forces that threaten it. Violence, immigration, xenophobia, betrayal, and dignity are themes considered and rendered with a powerful and knowing generosity of spirit.So embodies the artistic — and entrepreneurial — philosophy of Onabulé, whose latest album release, Point Less, is a giant leap forward and deeply soulful Rueful yet optimistic, Onabulé’s reach is global. His three-and-a-half octave baritone and the powerful emotions he conveys with it connects with audiences around the world. “Hands-on, self-sufficiency has always been my mantra for survival in the music game,” says the songwriter.
