Love Nwantiti, by CKay (Accoustic Version)

[lemonade-of-gods]

Love nwantiti x bheegi si bhaagi si is the song to play when you're falling in love with someone and you are apprehensive/anxious at how you're self aware about the risk that comes with loving the unattainable but you go headfirst in anyway and feel your heart ache when you watch them smile truly blissfully and genuinely at you

CKAY - SAD ROMANCE ALBUM REVIEW

CKay Underlies His Talent With A Sublime Third Album

CKay's career highpoint, the runaway success of "Love Nwantiti", played out less than two years ago, yet it feels like the singer has been Africa's boyfriend for much longer. A pandemic period that confined people to their homes, leaving them with little more entertainment than their phones and the video sharing apps on them turned out to be the spark that the talented singer needed to finally get his music in front of faces that would actually appreciate it. Nigeria's large and youthful population ensures it is a major consumer of music, but it would be wrong to assume this also grants her a varied palate in the music and artists she consumes.

Much of the music we listen to is produced in-country, as charts would tell you, but these charts would also betray the heavy favouritism for a certain genre, Nigerian pop over all others produced in this country. And the artists that dabble in alternative sounds, like CKay's brilliant Afro-Caribbean fusions and Tems' silky RnB are effectively choosing the much longer route to national stardom. That is, unless they get discovered by a foreign market by an alternative means. Tems had Essence, CKay had Tiktok, and now both artists can enjoy a following from an audience that truly appreciates their craft, rather than remain underground in Nigeria's music scene as they watch less talented dance to the top with party-ready music.

These artists have, however, not maintained the same trajectory since then. Tems has grown far bigger than her breakout song, and the love of her music extends both antero- and retrograde, as she's had new collaborations with Drake and Future break records while songs from her old EP sit on the US Afrobeats charts two years after its release. CKay has not been able to replicate "Love Nwantiti"'s reach on any of his other songs, and so his own profile still lags in comparison to the hit single. All this tells us how pivotal Sad Romance can be.

Sad Romance is about finding a balance, on so many levels. Sonically, CKay tows the line between African pop and Caribbean melodies. Thematically, he juggles "sad" and "romance". The rollout of "WATAWI", released in June in the buildup to the album, was a big statement of intent from CKay, one that proved that his forays abroad had not severed his ties to his home, even though it was not exactly indicative of how the album was to sound. "WATAWI" featured popstar Davido, who came along with frequent collaborator, Focalistic, in what was their third song together. Also in the mix up is South African artist and producer, Abidoza, so it was evident before first listen that this was CKay trying his hand at Amapiano, the South African genre that has held all of Africa spellbound for at least two years. And what a try it is. Over Abidoza's authentic production, dons the outfit he would appear in for most of the album -the fuckboy disconnected from love as he refuses to answer the much confronted question of "what are we" that follows many undefined coital exchanges.

On You, which was the next song to be released, CKay brings his two sonic worlds closer together. Amapiano is once more made use of, but only a few artists will be able to make claim to having repurposed the genre as intelligently as he has, and by slowing down the beat he converts what was party starting music and gives it his own twist. At two minutes and fifty seconds, this track is about half of WATAWI's length, but time is not the only point in which they differ. On You, CKay is as open with his feelings as elsewhere on the album, as he offers love in one sentence and sex in the next "Baby I'm in love with you/ Fuck you like I miss you". It is, however, worthy of note that these songs are about the extent of 's take on indigenous sounds, and so the sonic balance leans heavily towards his Caribbean influences, a choice that cannot be counted against him simply for how good he is at it.

The sad-romance balance also tilts towards the latter. CKay's ability to portray the murkier end of a relationship, in contrast to its sunny beginning, is well documented in singles like 'Skoin Skoin' off Boyfriend EP. Sad romance builds on this, and the album has almost two faces, two threads spun around each other to weave a special combination. This duality is best evidenced by the track 3 "Leave Me Alone" being followed by "Come Closer" two tracks later. With the latter track being joined by other romantic staples like You, Lose You, and heavyweights Emiliana and Love Nwantiti, CKay has this side more than covered. On other songs he has trouble keeping up his mask of love, and his sexual intentions push to the fore unclad. By Now has a hook as brash as it is stunning "We suppose don fuck by now" he blurts, and it is a response to an unfruitful period of courting - "Why you dey catch my cruise/ When I should be beside and inside you"

However, the most beautiful songwriting lies on the other face of Sad Romance. "You Cheated I Cheated Too" details the depths of toxicity of a relationship on its last legs, where both parties have thrown caution to the wind and now are drawn into an open infidelity contest – where there was once love now lies a desire to inflict wounds as deeply as they can. This depiction, by itself, would suffice to earn this album the sad tag, but it is not alone. Leave me alone does not carry the same emotional punch, but their themes overlap so well they could have been describing the same scenario. Here, like many at a relationship's end, CKay picks up broken pieces to examine how exactly they came apart "Where did we go wrong?/ Talking to you is like talking to a wall". CKay's vocal abilities are never in doubt, but it is with songs like this that CKay can also flex his songwriting.

For features, CKay follows Boyfriend in recruiting artists similar to his sound, with the aim of congruence and not diversity. Ayra Starr makes an appearance in come close, but they cannot match the chemistry they displayed on Beggie Beggie from Ayra's 19 And Dangerous, and what was probably meant to be one of the strongest tracks on the album (it is the only song that name drops "sad romance") is let down by a lack of vibrancy.

Samson and Delilah is a lot more upbeat, though it doesn't depart from the mellow tone of most of the album. Joined by Cape Verde's Mayre Andrade, CKay likens a relationship to the biblical pair but he's well aware of the woeful end of that legend - "Way you set my soul on fire/ It's a tragedy, I know" he sings, before his guest echoes these feelings in Cape Verdean Creole. Those aren't the only foreign languages to be heard here, as the French artist Ronisia sparkles on lose you, where CKay is clingy and apologetic. With a simple chorus "I don't want to lose you" intoned repeatedly, CKay ensures he can reprise his role as Africa's boyfriend for yet another album.

CKay is not exactly fair in his allocation of African and Foreign sounds, and he does not maintain an even split of songs of a sad and romantic nature, so he doesn't quite succeed at his balancing act. Where he succeeds, however, is in handling every sound and feeling expertly, and Sad Romance is proof that CKay has so much more in his locker than the love struck chords of Love Nwantiti.
