![]() Also expect Classic Alternative music and intriguing mixing and production. So yes, from Asa’s V album, expect interesting features like Wizkid, Amaarae and The Cavemen. She has Wizkid and The Cavemen on the album for crying out loud, and Wizkid appears to be the hottest afrobeats artist right now. Of course, expect so much attention on Asa’s V album. Nigerian artists with highest monthly listeners on spotify (February 2022) Asa’s V album will offer so much dynamic beats and sounds like never before. With Asa’s V album, there should be high expectations of classic Alternative music.Īsa has never disappointed with her choice of producers on a song or an album, and we hope that her V album will be no exception. She makes it because it is an expression of her art her person. It doesn’t seem like she makes music specifically for streams or competition. This is why Asa has always been described as a queen in her own lane. Which is what we’ll get to hear on her V album Something you don’t get to hear on most songs. In Nigeria, and most African and European countries, Asa has been the Queen of Alternative music.īy alternative music, we mean that she sings a genre of music distinct from mainstream or contemporary music. It is devoid of needless lyrics and the sound just pampers the music so much that it gives the song a danceable tune but still makes it retain its romantic tune. It sounds like music written and performed by a veteran. Taxis waiting down on the streets so Hurry up I have to go Looking round you see all the people Making faces very cold Far from the circle. It doesn’t sound at all like the kind of common romantic song you hear blasting in the speakers. “Mayana” is a good love song because it has some authenticity and dynamism of Asa’s songwriting. It makes the listener want to listen to it repeatedly. It also made sense that the song ended short. “Mayana” is sweet enough and this sweetness is even made sustained because the song has enough lyrics that are repeated enough to stick with the listener. But then, itbwould not have been bad if this song was a romantic song, it would have increased its replay value. On IDG, Asa and Wizkid deliver a music, that we mostly guessed would not be romantic. Those are the lyrics to IDG by Asa ft Wizkid Get a hold of my head I live a life so free (Yeah)Ī long road Down Soweto Caraibe o Eh e eh o Just to chill I live a life that’s so real Asa - Eyo Page Code:QXNhiCAtiEV5byAg -> taxis waiting down on the streets so hurry up i have to go looking round you see all the people making faces very cold carry me away far from the circle that never breaks hey hey hey hey hey going home going home where this road goes i already know where everybody cares for one another and they take you. ![]() My score overall? The song or the video? Both? 95%…pleas let us not give you all the marks.Asa is out with her latest album titled “ V” and a single off her song with Wizkid “Idg”. Rather, She tries to depict the community in its smallest form, as a circle that never breaks – THE HOME. The singer shuns the pictorial expected-large number of masquerades, the overwhelming size of Lagosians in the metropolitan city or even the posh areas of Lagos that she could have easily portrayed. Tthe kids trailing behind her symbolise to me, the innocence and communal love and acceptance an average Nigerian gets but never really consciuosly appreciates until he/she is being isolated.įinally,the Solitary EYO masquerade at the end drives home the point. Like a sojourner, she paints the image and reminds us of how a home-sick person feels and looks forward to leaving going back home. The yellow bus,keke, traders, kids and of course the EYO depicts her idea of Lagos, which she tightly holds dear to her heart. The streets, noises, fights and the people that forms what a home means. Instead it potrays the home the singer remembers she left in time past. One would think that with the thematic and chorus pre-occupation being the EYO masquerade, the visuals would be filled with the bunch of them, dancing and doing their thing but No! The video goes beyond the EYO as a masquerade. I am not saying the video is perfect…but nna ehn! the video odikwa make sense! ![]() You take the plain, bland and simple things around you, you clean it, polish it, recreate it and give it another meaning. In short, EYO made me fall in love with Lagos all over again.īut wait o, is it the france weather, your wonderful mother you sing so much about or just you? Your songs and videos are out of the box. Suddenly Ojota dumpsite did not smell as terribly as I thought, the endless trail of traffic isn’t as demonic as I felt instead my surroundings smelt of earth, instead of traffic I saw red-colored tail lights of cars as the eyes of hardworking souls all over Lagos. So, I’m going home after the usual-hectic toils of the day and I hear that same voice singing ‘ Eyo o…eyo o‘. The minute I heard that clear voice singing ‘ Waheedi….o mo shekina.’ I knew I for one was, is and will be stuck on whoever the singer was. Taxis waiting down on the streets so Hurry up I have to go Looking round you see all the people Making faces very cold Carry me away Far from the circle.
