‘Bad To Me’ Review: It's High Time Wizkid Employed Creative Songwriters!

Wizkid returns with ‘Bad To Me’, his first single in 2 years. Expectations had been on the rise since when Wizkid first announced the coming of the song, for it was going to be the first single in two years from one of the biggest African artists ever. However, ‘Bad To Me’ falls flat of those expectations!

‘Bad To Me’ review: It’s high time Wizkid employed creative songwriters!

The beat’s maker, P2J, drew inspiration from the trendy South African Amapiano sound, which has found a place in the minds of Nigerian music listeners.

Wizkid enters the P2J’s well-laced beat with slicky vocals (as usual). The melody is soothing and comforting. However, there’s a problem: the lyrics!

The lyrics are disjointed and inconsistent. The chorus and post-chorus are riddled with many out of context lines, making it hard to tell what exactly the song is all about.

Furthermore, Wizkid’s repetition of ‘Ee-ye ge-ge, Wa jogede’ in the post-chorus is proof of his weak lyrical ability. Perhaps it’s high time Wizkid employed creative songwriters.

Wizkid might be getting listeners warmed up for ‘More Love, Less Ego’ with ‘Bad To Me’. However, the song is too weak for a lead single. He should consider working with creative songwriters on his subsequent releases.

The only good impact he can hope to achieve with ‘Bad To Me’ is high streams!

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’

Published

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?
