Half the month of March is marching away from us but the creatives are keeping it 100 with their work. This week, the Radr team is sharing good books and good myaic to help readers power through this week. Ibejii, Zlatan, Jubril, Odunsi, and DITEH are sure to keep listeners’ heads above water this week.
Heart song-Jubril
On this beautiful ballad, Jubril sings to his love interest promising her all of his love. The soulful, passionate lyrics and slow paced song will wrap listeners in an atmosphere of love and warm feelings.
Closer- DITEH
The first thing that leaps out at a listener on this track is the amazing vocals. DITEH combines the power of his voice with a catchy, beautiful melody to capture the heart of listeners.
Lagos Anthem (Remix)- Zlatan
The remix culture is reawakening and we love it! Instead of getting a new verse and adding it to an old song, Zlatan flips the project on its head and renews the sound. A fantastic leap in the right direction.
Tipsy- Odunsi(The Engine) ft. Raye
Odunsi teams up with Raye to create this alté bop. The temptation of alcohol haze induced bad decisions are woven into the track with catchy lyrics and enthralling vocals from both artistes.
Lekeleke- Ibejii
Ibejii brings traditional Yoruba folk music to the mainstream and he does so with elegance and exceeding talent. With a sick guitar riff in the background and smooth vocals, this song is one for listeners to savour.
