Asake finally gives an insight into his sound with MMWTV

Image
YBNL talent Nigerian singer and songwriter, Asake finally released his highly anticipated debut album titled "Mr Money With The Vibes." The album consists of 12 solid tracks featuring Burna boy and Russ. Dull is a perfect Album opener for Asake's album. It addresses why he has been so consistent ever since he had his hit songs and got signed to the YBNL record. The opening seconds of ‘Dull’ is delivered like a panegyric or Yoruba ewi or an Ifa hymn. On the opening track, he admits that he has made it but vows to the old gods and money that he will never ‘Dull.’ The song being short makes the album sound like there is a lot for us in it.  Terminator is a single off Mr Money With The Vibes, and it talks about how Asake is a Terminator for his lady.

Formally known as Zhenoboy, Bayanni has gone viral as he was recently signed to the number one record label in Africa, MAVIN RECORD. An older woman's voice, with the cliche of motherly prayer, opens his newly released self named four track Ep. The "family" record examines hardship and responsibility. It's very personal and relatable to many listeners. The easy-flowing hook aids replay value. The highlife-inspired "Body" has a similar drum pattern to Wizkid and Maphorisa's "Soweto baby." It's a dance hall influenced with Cathy lyrics. The production of the song supersedes everything else. "Ta Ta Ta" is the best song on this Ep; the record is filled with sexual innuendo. His vocals beguiled the sensuality that was required to deliver those records. The type of ability to emote with vocals, as well as the ability to produce ad-libs like "ah ah ah" to mimic the euphoric breath that emerges during coitus, will ser...
