So it gets harder to actually make this list. New music comes out every day, and the ear that enjoys all forms and genres of music,is given a treat.
But! Some songs just stay on repeat, and thats how they make it to this list!
Vector: I LOVE YOU NIGERIA
Ile... Ile...
There is something about the hook of this song that is haunting. And as we inch closer to our fiftieth, the song seems apt.
This is a love song for Nigeria, and in these days of hate, disbelief, fears and distrust, it is nice to listen to a song of hope and love.
Plus, Vector is just really good!
Ese Peters: WETIN I GO DO
'she says she wants to fly...'
Ese is just... He kind of leaves me speechless but let me see how many words i can string together for this!
His voice is soothing, i think therein lies the appeal. And his lyrics are so open and easy to relate to.
The chorus for Wetin i Go Do is so catchy, i dare anyone to listen once and not sing along!
Zara: ABOKO KU
There is this sound Zara likes to make on all her tracks, and everytime i think of this song, the sound comes to mind!
You will probably have to listen a lot of times to know what she is actually saying, and even then you'd have to take it chorus first, then verse, then hook. But i like the song, and the way she sings it.
Mo Cheddah: KO MA ROLL
Loke! Loke!
Mo Cheddah is one of those gifted artistes who can do it all. And Ko Ma Roll takes us away from the Mo Cheddah of 'If You Want Me' to a vibier song
Fans of the show on radio like it a lot as well, i get a lot of requests for it.
Hakym: FORMULAR
Artiste-Producers sometimes have to choose. But Hakym may not have to. The producing he does well. As much as the singing itself
On 'Formular'he brings in the hook wizkid, Wizkid, and they give us an easy to sing and dance to song
Hakym has got the formular, now we want more!
9ice versus Da Grin: LONI NI
I suppose if 9ice said 'la la la'on a song, id still love it, but thankfully, this song is a justified hit.
Once again, this is a '
street' song, strictly for parties, partying and those who love them! The lyrics tell of someone who isnt about to waste his life thinking and stressing, and today ehn, (today na today, not tomorrow), drinks are assured!
And Da Grin raps on the beat effortlessly.
I listened to this song for so long (sometimes ten times back to back), that my mother started singing along, and i even created a treatment for the video in my head!
Skales: BE MINE
First time i heard Skales, it was on a song where he declared he was heading for a grammy.
And then i started listening out for him, and going for shows where he was blled to perform.
He sounded interesting, sincere, like he truly had something to say.
'Be Mine' has an interesting proposition for the ladies, or at least, a special lady. He's doing all he can to give her all she wants because she has to be his.
I fear a lot of ladies will personalise this song
Teeto: YOU'RE NOT MY GIRL
Teeeeeeeto!
Probably the finest rapper i know. And no, i don't mean the rhymes. Thank you
Luckily for us, Teeto isnt just a
handsome face, he is also great with freestyles and as he has shown with his mixtape, isnt afraid to be a little not nice.
And Ýoure Not My Girl, isnt nice! But i can't help it, i want mooooore!
Teeto, Beazy and Ghetto P break hearts when they non-too-gently inform us exactly what they want. And it isnt a picket fence with 2.4 children i can tell you
M.I feat. Tu Face: NOBODY
If nobody talks about you, then you are nobody...
Tu Face sings this and it comes across as sincere, he has afterall, been the victim of seven years of bad press (figuratively). And M.I's success has come with a prize- he is now the target of a lot of MCs
So it is not surprising that this song talks about keeping your head up, no matter what.
Sadly, this song hasn't been properly pushed, and some people even assume it's a tu face song (cue look of surprise when it is not on the N1000 album!), but if you can find it, enjoy!
Tu Face: ONLY ME
The secret to truly enjoying this song, is to listen and discover this song in phases
With every listen there is something else to love, another lesson to learn, and a new smile to be found.
My current addiction is the 'r's in the second verse. Listen to how Tu Face sings the second verse. #thankmenow
And there you have it folks!
The ten songs that i had on repeat in July!
I know August' list will be tough to compile but i have to go now, 'labalaba' is playing!
