Davido Stand Strong review

Stand Strong by Davido is the perfect inspiration for those who are already on the verge of giving up to stay strong, and remain focused. The song doesn’t make you dance but gives you hope.

The song is significant in just every sphere of human endeavors. From those Struggling to those competing, to those hopeless. The song is a well-crafted symphony for just everyone. It is taking Afrobeats to the next level for sure.

I think Davido is set to compete for awards once again after he has been sidelined for a while by Major International award shows like BET, Soul Train, and the Grammys. The song has the potential of becoming a chart-topping song.

The song has inspiring and soul-lifting elements and envisages a perfect replica of a song that can be performed in the night with lights off and Everyone can sing along. It has really emotional undertones and Serenity. Imagine that scenario. It’s a contagious Masterpiece.

The song has no flaws, the Lyrics, production, and backup singers of the choir group “The Samples” did magic to the song but as usual, People expect more from Davido so they are never satisfied with the work he releases.

However, we expect Davido doesn’t push his album release date back for any of his colleagues as he normally does. At this time, he is conscious of his content and music lovers are appreciative of his efforts.

Album Review: Blaqbonez Jettison Hardcore Rap On ‘Emeka Must Shine’

Published

on

Blaqbonez tries new sound and rhythms on ‘Emeka Must Shine’ , jettison hardcore rap

The album started with the high-energy, mid-tempo “Road Runners”, featuring Ghanaian sensation Black Sheriff supported by vibrant lead guitars and subtle chords, is a heartfelt way in which the singer talks about his journey from a struggling rapper to one of the best in the job.

The second track 6 business days is a sexual jokes and business minded track. Blaqbonez shows he is a homebred talent whose music is the very heartbeat of the streets, enhances the song’s lyrical narrative. Paying tribute to the likes of Jowi Zaza, Blaqbonez shows he loves sex but doesn’t joke with money.

On KILO, Blaqbonez shows delightful plucking of lead guitars, gentle percussion, and heavy kicks. This is a track for serenading a lover and the joy of beautiful sexual intimacy. Like Ice Spice is a song where the singer talk about ever form of sexual counters, this is where he hails his spending money and his ability to bag hot girls as a preacher of sex without love. As a rapper, Blaqbonez visualize orgasms, strokes and everything sexual encounter on this song.

Appealing to the South East part of the country, Blaqbonez employ the fastest upcoming rapper from South East, Jeriq, here to talk about money and everything wealth. Nyem Ego as the title suggests show everything the rapper is trying to talk about.

Naija Shawty featuring Victony is a track that is particularly marked by solos, striking chords. Their lyrics delve into their resilience and street-smartness in finding a balance between work and love, especially from their Nigerian lovers. Blaqbonez maintains here that his love for Nigerian girls will always be top despite that he’s seen girls all over the world.

Dollarz by Odumodublvck is also a new sound, similar to Ice Spice, the heavy tone from Odumodublvck makes this song a love to fans ears. With the voice of a choir underneath, this song will strike a chord in your heart. The Bezos is where Blaqbonez talks about his future, a very good plan of how he plans to go out and top.

“Today no fit be tomorrow Give me one year I go feel like Bezos, my bank account no fit reach zero”.

Album Review: Bnxn Suffers From Monotony On Debut Album ‘Sincerely, Benson’

Bnxn Sincerely Benson album review

Here’s the review of ‘Sincerely, Benson’, the debut album by award-winning Nigerian singer Bnxn.

On 5 Oct. 2023, Bnxn—or Buju as he was formerly known—released his debut studio album, titled ‘Sincerely, Benson’ like the closing salutation in a formal letter.

A good lyricist, who admittedly took some lessons from Grammy-winning Burna Boy while signed to the latter’s Spaceship Records for two years, Bnxn was understandably economical with both features and duration of this album.

Bnxn Sincerely Benson album review

(There are a lot of albums that might have been successful if not for their unnecessary collaborations. Perhaps, Bnxn learnt from the mistakes of others.)

With a handful of collaborators (2Baba, Headie One, Taves, Kizz Daniel & Seyi Vibez, Popcaan) present, one may not be mistaken to say ‘Sincerely, Benson’ is a collaborative effort planned by a number of great minds in the background.

On ‘Regret’ featurng 2Baba, Bnxn holds the reigns over the formerly called 2Face, a respected figure from the 2000s who made a loud impact in Afrobeats-to-the-world Movement.

As a matter of fact, Bnxn gives no chance to being overshadowed by his guests, holding the reigns in each and every collaboration!

However, there is a lapse.

Bnxn suffers a huge blow from monotony. The sound has not elevated from what was heard in his previous EPs, and has started to become boring.

He is a talented artist without a doubt, but a great voice and intelligent lyrics are not enough, especially if the sound is repetitive. Versatility in style or sound matters as much as lyrics and voice do.

Nevertheless, or on the good side of it, if ‘Sincerely, Benson’ has achieved something, it is the re-confirmation that Bnxn is not to be played with as far as pen game is concerned—one of the best of his generation in that lane.

‘Pidgin & English’ is this writer’s favorite track off the album. What is yours?
