If you were at the listening in London yesterday you will understand that this albums is too good … ozeba was madnedssss!!!! The mosh pit to that so ahh if you no get energy no near dear
I actually think “afrobeats to the world” is not very accurate about this album. This album is not catering to the international audience at all in my opinion. HEIS is a far cry from Rave and Roses.
If you listen closely to the beats on this album, you’ll hear traces of EDM and trap infused in the album so I think he’s actually catering to the international audience in a way no one has attempted to…
@@kaydekd991 I hear you but this album sounds far more naija than his last one. The last one was clearly going for international appeal. You’re right that there are some trap and edm influences on HEIS but not nearly as much as the influences on the last album in my humble opinion.
I feel like people don’t understand music. Music has different moods and vibe and for a person like me that listen to artists like Travis Scott , Kanye West , Play Boy Carti , Xxx, ASAP Rocky and many more. I’m used to this kind of high energy sounds, most Nigerians want you to keep doing the same thing and then say you fade out at the end. If you don’t keep involving or try to do something nobody else will have the balls to do that means you’re not ready for this game. This album has balance because once you’re about to press play you know what you’re signing up for so if you know you don’t like this type of music with high energy stick to the low tempo Afrobeats you like and leave this for we the Ravers🦇 SIMPLE.
This album imo is not necessarily bringing afrobeats back , however it's an album curated for live shows where he made use of elements of rock, metallica , domesticated it in an African Nigerian context. Hence, the moniker rave lord. He embodied it on this project. The album is for a certain mood which is clubbing, or hyper activities or octane event. I rate it a 6/10 as a Body of work. However, for what it was curated for and it's a 10/10. Think of a Terry G as a gen-z in a modern afrobeats context. THIS album is what he would have done!.
An Album should have aa baalace... you set rules thaat dont ffit our music... sound is subjected to change... you aare here criticising. enjoy the music and let the new sound flow #Afrowave
It's so ironic that during the release of Made in Lagos, Emmanuel had to listen to the album twice cause he wasn't really feeling it and now it has become a yardstick for a great album in Nigeria😅
