EP Review: "REAL, Vol. 1" by Wizkid & Asake

REAL, Vol. 1 by Wizkid, Asake EP cover
Everyone loves when two titans of the music industry join forces to give the audience a collaboration. Yes, I am still holding on to hope that one day we will eventually get our RNB (Rihanna, Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé) collaboration although hell freezing over seems more likely at this point. Anyway, two giants of African music, Wizkid and Asake have gone the extra mile and given us not just a collaborative single but an entire collaborative EP titled "REAL, Vol. 1".

Afrobeats icons Wizkid and Asake just released their hotly anticipated collaborative EP REAL, Vol. 1. The new music arrives with a video for "Turbulence," wherein Asake and Wizkid party with a bevy of women amidst an Escheresque labyrinth.

The duo has been hinting at a joint project since last year, and released the Naija pidgin ode to partying hard "Jogodo" last week, which marries jaunty saxophone to woody polyrhythms. The song seems to be striking a chord with fans, running up 10 million streams in its first week on Spotify.

Woman in The Mirror by Sacha album cover Ads can be such a nuisance! However, we have all had a moment where those pesky advertisements can be life changing. My discovery of the Canadian country artist Sacha can be counted as one of those life changing moments. After watching the video for "Later Tonight" by John Ross, YouTube played an ad of song called Shooting Star. Curiosity got the better of me so I went to the video to hear the entire song. Instantly I fell in love with the song and had to find out more about this new artist.

"june" by DE'WAYNE album cover "She's a synthesizer, Orchestrates the band, She's got the whole world, Wrapped around her finger, She's a synthesizer, Baby don't you understand, She's my heaven she's my earth, She's my woman she's my man." Lyrics taken from  https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dewaynejackson/synthesizer.html The song "synthesizer" was how I was introduced to the wonderful artist called De'Wayne. I came across a snippet of the video on Twitter and decided to give the song a listening ear and I instantly feel in love. This new discovery filled me with so much joy because as an avid music listener I  always seek to expand my musical horizons to listen to genres I usually do not follow. Therefore, coming across a Rock N Roll artist that I instantly liked was so exhilarating. I listened to the song until my own ears and music player got fed up with me and was even more elated when I discovered he was releasin...
