“Overcome is a new masterpiece by British-Nigerian singer and songwriter Dire Pitan. The uplifting soul record arrives on the other side of a brief hiatus and is the first release off of the artist’s debut album Seasons. His previous body of work was the 2016 EP Nowhere Else.

“The song came during a difficult season in our lives, my wife and I. We had just had our second child, fifteen months after our first, and we really struggled with how we could cope with two children under the age of two, not to mention the health concerns that came with falling pregnant so soon after our first pregnancy, which was a C-section. It all felt too much, and I was totally overwhelmed, we were merely getting by with 2-3 hours of sleep a day and still had to work full time, we were completely shattered, and it was in the middle of one of these rough nights that ‘Overcome’ was born”.
