Omolola (Anita) by John Alone

0

We live in a high-pace era where everyone has got to move fast and produce more to keep up. Especially in industries where your progress is seen, like entertainment, and if you did vanish for a while, you’ve got to make a hell of a return. The London-based alternative R&B musician, John Alone, obviously knows that, and that’s why, after a musical hiatus, he’s making a solid comeback with his pumping hit, “Omolola (Anita).”

“Omolola (Anita)” is a song that has an R&B, Rap, and Pop fusion with an Amapiano influence. I have to admit that, at first, I was a little puzzled. I didn’t like it or hate it. It was just unusual to me, but soon enough, it started to grow on me, and it didn’t take long for me to vibe in with its uplifting beat and compulsive sound.

Right from the start, the drumline in the African style makes one nod their heads and get hyped with the chirpy atmosphere. Throughout the single, all the elements smoothly flow together to create an explosive yet somehow delicate banger. And mixing R&B with a rap-ish performance makes it more dynamic, and the Amapiano ambiance gives it authenticity.

John’s charismatic, airy vocals tempt one to learn the lyrics and engage for more mood-boosting. His voice is as vibrant as the rhythms and has a sentimental tone that conveys the affection that the lyrics hold.

Even the lyrical theme is genuine. It’s not a rare subject; it’s another love song about finally finding the right one but starting from the song’s title and passing by each verse, the distinct writing style, and interesting word choices give a feeling that it’s your first time hearing a love song.

“Omolola (Anita) is only a glimpse of John’s capabilities in the arena of diversity, ready to hit the airwaves.” So, if this fiery track is just a sneak peek, how many more abilities can the skilled artist unleash?

Ninni is a Naples, Italy-based musician and multi-instrumentalist who’s exploring virtually uncharted territories by himself on this release. A cute doo-wop tune, all with barbershop quartet vocals, finger snaps, and choral vocals, the whole bunch! The sounds are incredibly warm and earthy, the mix is intimate and relatively quiet. The vocals are shaky and vulnerable in a relatable way. The backing vocals are jumpy, rhythmic, and very vintage sounding. The percussion is entirely delivered courtesy of jubilant finger snaps. A sound that’s equally summery, intimate, joyous, and familiar. 

Ninni seems to have dialed in an ancient formula and managed to pull off something that’s familiar and sweet and truly capable of bringing joy. Simple, Efficient, and heartfelt.

Glisten (interactive performance) by ANTimus Prime

Not the type of Hip-Hop we hear much nowadays, despite the personal affection the track holds, it seems a lot more relatable to our lives.

Hailing from Apex, North Carolina, ANTimus Prime aka ‘King ANT’ releasing a promotional visualizer to his EP ‘Fair Warning’ titled ‘Glisten’.

The track begins with an orchestral theme along with African percussion, which threw me back hard to Terence Blanchard’s main theme in the ‘25th Hour’ movie where I thought that the beat might be inspired by the movie’s main theme.

Along the cool beat melodies, rush in a calm and smooth heavy flow with organized rhymes and is in control of the pace with his delicate vocabularies and rhymes.

Glisten’ is lyrically an honest and straightforward track, raising controversy in a truthful, realistic context with an attitude of rebellious dissatisfaction while most of today’s rappers just be flexing or dissing, and I liked how the rapper included most of the family members through his lyrics and how he displayed them in the track left a somewhat relatable personal affectionate to specific family members yet unaffectionate to other members.

I guess J.Cole and DaBaby should care cause competition will be fierce when ANTimus Prime ‘Glistens’ on the stages of North Carolina.
