Don’t wanna be your friend no more | Blue Ophilia

Don’t wanna be your friend no more by Blue Ophilia is a playful romp of a song, reminiscent of the early 60’s.

With witty lyrics and a catchy Reggae / calypso beat it takes the listener though a whimsical evaluation of a friendship gone wrong from start to finish.

Blue Ophilia takes the listener along for a joyful ride from beginning to end with her evolving feelings for an unspecified female friend. This song is like a breath of fresh air from the cookie cutter hits of late.

Don't wanna be your friend no more
For singer/songwriter Blue Ophilia music is something that has always inspired and been part of her. For Blue Ophilia, no matter what obstacles she has face, she has endured and triumphed because of music, songs have just kept coming to her naturally and the more she wrote the more she healed. Her latest single "Don't Wanna Be Your Friend No More" is a funky mix of reggae, pop, dance and funk and is a perfect fit for contemporary pop/rock radio. Reminscent of artists like Shaggy, The Black Eyed Peas and Macy Gray, this is a song for fans of those artists as well as of the genres of pop/rock, funk, Carribean and island music.

The melody of the song sets the tone for the tune. born in the Carribean, it's easy to see how the melodies of the islands, have inspired the reggae, calyspo feel to the piece. While her music is usually composed mostly of strings, with her latest tune, she takes a different take. This song is fun, bright and features sounds inspired by the islands, including the sounds of reggae and calypso. The piece is melodic and uplifting with a great pop and dance rhythm. Featuring the pulsating and infectious sounds of drums, keyboards, guitar, bass and tambourine. Accompanying the melody is her voice, which has a jazzy blues feel with a slight rasp that sounds like combination of Macy Gray and Andra Day
