After five years of healing, acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and composer releases a powerful soundtrack of survival and resilience

Every track is a chapter of survival. Even when trust is broken and dreams are delayed—if you’re still breathing, you’re still standing.”
— ONAH
DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, June 13, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Jazz composer and saxophonist Francis ONAH returns with his most personal work to date, "Still Standing"—an eight-track album that chronicles a journey through betrayal, loss, endurance, and ultimately, rebirth. Written, composed, and produced entirely by ONAH, the album is available today on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music.

A native of Lagos and global jazz presence, Francis ONAH has long been known for blending African cultural roots with modern jazz. But "Still Standing" ventures deeper, into the heart of lived experience.

“This album is five years of healing, scars, and soul poured into sound,” said ONAH. “Every track is a chapter of survival. Even when trust is broken and dreams are delayed—if you’re still breathing, you’re still standing.”

With track titles like “Big Brown Lie,” “Plenty Shades of Human,” and “Man vs. Man,” Still Standing tackles themes of fractured relationships, emotional endurance, and the raw complexity of the human condition. Other compositions like “Align with Nature” and “Fly Away” offer more meditative reprieves, bridging pain with a search for inner peace and freedom.

The full tracklist includes:

1. Align with Nature
2. Big Brown Lie
3. Good Times
4. Flex (Gara)
5. Fly Away
6. Plenty Shades of Human
7. Man vs. Man
8. Ika Eniyan

Each song serves as a stand-alone story, but together they form a cohesive narrative arc of transformation—anchored by ONAH’s signature saxophone-driven melodies and layered percussive arrangements. The album’s production, handled solely by the artist himself, incorporates traditional African instrumentation alongside modern electronic textures, building a sonically rich experience that refuses easy categorization.

Francis ONAH’s work has previously earned international acclaim through performances with Femi Kuti & Positive Force, as well as his debut album Ogoja City. His commitment to fusing African heritage with jazz innovation has made him a distinctive voice in the global music scene. But with Still Standing, ONAH is not only offering music—he is sharing testimony.

“This isn’t just a record,” said ONAH. “It’s a declaration. I’m still here. Still making art. Still pushing forward.”

In support of the new album, ONAH will perform at several major festivals across Europe and the U.S. this summer, including Montreux Jazz Festival (July 14), JazzOpen Stuttgart (July 13), and Jazz in Marciac (July 21). Full tour dates and album updates are available at www.francisonah.com or through his official Linktree.

"Still Standing" is now available to stream, download, and share.

Finanse

K. Gawkowski: Polska w cyfrowej transformacji gospodarki awansowała do pierwszej ligi w Europie. 2,8 mld zł z KPO jeszcze ten proces przyspieszy

Uruchomiony na początku lipca przez Ministerstwo Cyfryzacji i BGK program „KPO: Pożyczka na cyfryzację” cieszy się dużym zainteresowaniem. Samorządy, uczelnie oraz firmy mogą wnioskować o wsparcie finansowe dla inwestycji w transformację cyfrową, m.in. modernizację infrastruktury czy cyberbezpieczeństwo. W sumie na ten cel trafi 2,8 mld zł (650 mln euro). Ze względu na krótki czas naboru obie instytucje organizują w poszczególnych województwach warsztaty dla wnioskodawców, które mają rozwiać ich wątpliwości przy przygotowywaniu wniosków.

Prawo

Koszty certyfikacji wyrobów medycznych sięgają milionów euro. Pacjenci mogą stracić dostęp do wyrobów ratujących życie

Od 2027 roku wszystkie firmy produkujące wyroby medyczne w Unii Europejskiej będą musiały posiadać certyfikat zgodności z rozporządzeniem MDR (Medical Devices Regulation). Nowe przepisy wprowadzają dużo ostrzejsze wymagania w zakresie dokumentacji, badań klinicznych oraz procedur certyfikacyjnych. Branża ostrzega, że część małych i średnich producentów nie zdąży się dostosować. Problemem jest także wysoki koszt i długi czas uzyskiwania certyfikatów. W konsekwencji z rynku mogą zniknąć urządzenia ratujące życie.

Infrastruktura

Nowe przepisy o ochronie ludności cywilnej wprowadzają obowiązkowe elastyczne zbiorniki na wodę. Mają one służyć w razie suszy, pożarów czy wybuchu wojny

Samorządy będą musiały posiadać m.in. elastyczne zbiorniki na wodę pitną i przenośne magazyny wody przeciwpożarowej. To element odpowiedniego przygotowania zasobów na wypadek sytuacji kryzysowych, kataklizmów czy wybuchu konfliktu, wprowadzony nowymi przepisami o ochronie ludności. Eksperci podkreślają, że tego typu rozwiązania to innowacyjne produkty, które nie tylko ułatwiają logistykę w sytuacjach kryzysowych, ale także mogą znacząco skrócić czas reakcji służb ratunkowych.
