Lewis Fitzgerald OH MAMA: South London’s Rising Star Delivers Soul-Stirring R&B 

<p>Lewis Fitzgerald&#8217;s OH MAMA blends soulful R&#038;B with Afrobeat grooves, showcasing the South London artist&#8217;s knack for turning personal stories into healing anthems. Out now on Relentless Records.</p>

Lewis Fitzgerald‘s new single OH MAMA offers a deft exploration of compassion through R&B-tinted glasses.

The South London vocalist transforms a stranger’s confided story into nuanced musical comfort, where big emotions find their footing in delicate details.

Producer Gethin Williams crafts a deceptively intricate backdrop. His Afrobeat-influenced production weaves subtle complexities beneath the surface, while Fitzgerald’s opening line, “Hey darling, how you been?” hits the spot with surgical precision.

In the verses, Fitzgerald tackles isolation and self-medication with his voice, which wraps around each confession with the gentleness of someone who’s walked similar paths.

His “Oh mama” refrain doesn’t soar for dramatic effect—it reaches out like a steady hand in darkness.

This measured approach to emotional storytelling has earned Fitzgerald collaborations with NSG, Libianca, and Russ Millions.

His recent Camden Club show sold out so quickly it demanded a second date—proof that audiences crave this kind of thoughtful perspective.

OH MAMA shines in its careful balance. While others might bulldoze through sensitive subjects, Fitzgerald treats each word with consideration.

His vocal runs serve the story rather than showboating, creating moments of raw connection amid polished production.

The track works like emotional acupuncture, finding precise pressure points to release tension and spark healing.

Lewis Fitzgerald is not just making music about feelings; he’s crafting detailed maps through difficult terrain, marking safe passages with his voice.

Lewis Fitzgerald’s OH MAMA Lyrics

Intro
(Oh, mama, oh, mama, I)
(Oh, mama, oh, mama, I)

Verse 1
Hey, darling, how you been?
I know you’re tired of the stressin’
You’re pure fire, you’re ten-ten
So all the drama don’t make sense, it’s too intense
Put up a wall ’cause your heart’s been broke
Too many times that you gave up hope
But still you fight, girl, I know you’re strong, uh

Pre-Chorus
I know you lost
All the people that you love
And you know

Chorus
That I would give my loving to you
Oh, mama, oh, mama, I
Oh, mama, oh, mama, I
Oh, mama, oh, mama, I
I wanna give my loving to you
Oh, mama, oh, mama, I
Oh, mama, oh, mama, I
Oh, mama, oh, mama, I
I wanna give my loving to you

Verse 2
Hey, darling, I know you’re down
‘Cause all the people been running you around
And you feel alone in an open crowd
You say you’re shy ’til you drink and drown
All the fun ain’t gon’ numb your pain
Late nights in thе open rain
Come and talk when you feel it fadе

Pre-Chorus
I know you lost
All the people that you love
And you know

Chorus
