Speaking with Korty EO, Rema stated that whenever his ‘depression kicks in‘, he switches up his style of music.
The “Woman” crooner said:
“I like change.
Change in the aspect that they don’t need to tell me change, I change.
But if you look at the transition of my career as well, you can tell there’s always something new; asides music.
Like in my personality, looks or whatever, I like to switch it”, he added.

Curious to find out more about Rema’s ‘switching game’, the Lagos-based freelance filmmaker and YouTuber asked: “How do you know when to make a switch?”
Rema explained whenever the feeling of depression sets in, it means his mindset and entire being is craving for a change as it is no longer comfortable with its current state.
He said:
“Depression! There are sometimes you just like…in a week, everything is the same. It’s the same routine. It’s the same mood. So, that’s when you know that there’s an ish.
“So, once you get depressed, it means like your skin, soul is not comfortable in that skin, mindset; that mind frame.”
