Music Critic, Motolani Thinks SkiiBii Performed Below Par On New EP

Reading through a post he made on pulse, it’s obvious he understand the artistics of the singer and thinks he has more to offer than he’s letting fans have

 

Newsonline reports that, Nigerian music critic, Motolani Alake through a post he made on pulse, thinks Skiibii has more to offer than he’s letting fans have. The music critic pinned his post which is a swift read on the fact that, Skiibii can be likened to a rapper who can speak, but is holding himself back from actually talking.

Motolani thinks since Skiibii is not exactly born with a silver spoon. After his stint at 5 Star Music, which involved an unfortunate infamy which many might remember, he emerged as one of the standout Nigerian artists of 2019. He had three stellar hits in a year that will be remembered as ground zero, for this phase of ‘Afrobeats to The World.’

He also thinks although ‘Life of A King’ is a better ‘project experience’ than ‘God Is Not Man,’ it suffers the pitfalls of pandering to trends, mostly to ineffectual results. ‘Bobo,’ which was produced by Niphkeys, seems to pander to the 2021 hit formula, which worked for Mohbad.

He further stated that, people need to realize that Niphkeys has more in store than what they are taking off him, and that they are continually doing themselves a disservice.

While maintaining that, ‘Flex’ falls victim to the roving cliche of crowd vocals. And frankly, it sounded horrific on this song. Even if ‘Flex’ becomes the greatest hit in the world, it’s not going to stop being a horrific song that should have never seen the light of day.

He concluded by saying that, If you’ve met Skiibii, you will know that he has more in store than he lets on. On this EP, he says a lot while saying nothing. An artist like him has a lot of things to say. If he allows himself to say them on great beats, he could be unstoppable. This regurgitation of the limits of braggadocio is lazy, and frankly, it’s stale for him.

Well, do we at Newsonline think the same of the project?
We cant answer a yes or no, but it’s safe to say that, the project does not seem to resonate with core Skiibii fans, especially because the clamour for it dropped only few days after it release.
