On Dunnie’s Four, the power of collaboration comes to fruition.
From her catchy producer tag, “Legend o”, one can tell that Dunnie is very intentional about her music. Whatever doubt you have about this, would surely be cleared when you see the credits for this EP. Dunnie enlisted the help of talented songwriters and producers around, and the result is worth all the effort.
All songs on the EP are love-themed with Dunnie taking different approaches. The lead single, Overdose is a beautiful love song on which Dunnie declares her unwavering for her lover. This song is an Afropop tune with a very catchy bounce that will leave you tapping your feet. If you love Fireboy’s Vibration, Overdose is a song you should check out. Another Afropop tune, Zaki Magic did justice to the production on Koro, with Dunnie delivering her sensual lines beautifully. Ordinary is an amazing duet with JduMusic, with the two singing about being ordinary and imperfect lovers. I Need You is a groovy tune, which is perfect for the dancefloor.
Writer’s Thoughts: Nine songwriters, six producers, and three sound engineers worked on this project, and the result is totally mind-blowing. It is a body of work that captivates you on first listen as a lot of work went into it. In an industry where individuality is the order of the day, Dunnie shows what can be achieved with collaboration. You know what they say about too many cooks spoiling the broth, well not this time as Four is a beautiful project worth all the effort.
Standout Tracks: Overdose, Ordinary.
