Flavour 'ijele The Traveller' Album Review - Flavour keeps things moving - Music 360 - Pulse tv
Flavour ‘Ijele the Traveler’ album is a traditional inspired, romance-Highlife sonorous ride, fitted with variations of his music making ability. It does not stray from all of his previous projects. Lead single from ‘Ijele the Traveler’ album, ‘Virtuous woman’, is in the mold of earlier hits ‘Golibe’ and ‘Ada ada’; formulaic piano ballads designed to draw in hopeless romantics. This is Flavour ‘Ijele the Traveler’ album review on Music 360 with AOT2, Joey Akan and Segun. Album - Ijele the Traveler Artiste - Flavour Record Label - 2nite Music Group (2017) Duration - 64 minutes. Standout track in Flavour ‘Ijele the Traveler’ album, ‘Baby na yoka’, fuses Reggaeton and Highlife into a commercial killer single. It’s the ultimate marriage of local music with a universal sound to hack radio, parties and distant African markets. Flavour ‘Sake of love’ft Sarkodie attempts to throw Flavour into the mid-tempo sound structure dominating Nigerian radio while Sarkodie provides balance on the record. Flavour ‘Loose guard’ ft Phyno obeys the same rule, but balanced pop artistry can be enjoyed in syrupy ‘Ukwu Nwata’ and its jerky bridge. Sometimes though chopping and fusing in Flavour ‘Ijele the Traveler’ album is overdone. It all tends to blur ‘Jaiye’ which comes off as a tired extension of 2015’s ‘Wake up’ featuring Wande Coal. There’s also a welcome Trap influence on Flavour ‘Body calling’ ft Terry Apala, but repetition and the late inclusion of Terry Apala leaves the song hanging unfinished. ‘Ijele the Traveler’ album might represent a small progression for Flavour, but it’s far from an evolution.
