Asa – Ocean
I am absolutely in love with this record, I can’t get enough of it, can’t stop playing it. If you ever wondered what an Asa-Wurld record would sound like, then this is a tiny glimpse into it. Those back up vocals? Divine. The writing is immaculate, like you’d expect anything less with Asa and Wurld locked in the studio together. The most beautiful part of this record, the one before it (Mayana) and the upcoming album, V, is the Asa-Reinvention we’re witnessing. It’s so beautiful to see. It is how she’s taking her time to get into this new phase. Totally love it
YKB – Imagine
I have probably played this song over a hundred times since it’s release on Thursday. To think that my favorite thing about this record is how it does not have one central theme. It’s such a good record, the melodies are amazing, the bounce is contagious, the writing is good. YKB is such amazing talent and that big break is just around the corner, i called it first.
Asake – Ololade Asake EP
A debut, a very fine debut. Going off on the success of “Omo Ope”, Asake serves up another potential smash hit in “Sungba” on the tape. What is that record?! It is how he has a way with streets lingo or lamba, like we like to call it. Olamide has scored another superstar for sure.
Jaylon, Minz – Naya’s Riddim
I have nothing else to say about this record but that Minz was floating way too smooth on this song! Way too smooth! The production is elite, simple it might sound but it’s elite. The strings giving that melody just does it all for me. Jaylon is top.
Moliy – Love Doc
If you’re not familiar with Moliy’s music by now, you need to do better. Let me jug your memory then. Dejavu? Amaarae’s Feel A Way? Okay, Amaarae’s Sad Girlz Love Money? Ah, yes finally, that Moliy. She’s amazing. I’m in love with this new record, love that it has a very prominent AfroBeats bounce to it. The uniqueness of Moliy’s voice stands her out, can’t touch that. And she writes amazing music, Love Doc is a well written record
