Track Review : Adele Hello (Icytat Remix)

-
Local house DJ, producer and Star Fm radio presenter Icytat decided to join the wagon of Adele's Hello remixes which are sprouting form all over he world with his own remix. Icytat has been making strides with getting his brand out there and with his partnership with Star Fm many local house fans are definitely taking notice. He however has not been having much success on the production side of things, due to Zim's proximity to SA (house capital of Africa if not the world) any local house track will face heavy comparisons from SA tracks and nearly always that never bodes well for the Zim producer. So will this be the track that announces Icytat on the music production side???

The remix sounds very good. As a big house fan, l love the arrangement....the simplicity. The instrumental is made in a way that lets the vocals do the leading. He did not try to go for the kind of remix where one changes the song completely, he kept the Adele signature and feel to the song and just gave it an uptempo beat. Last year John Legend's All Of Me was remixed by many Dj's across the globe and if you are a keen observer you would find that the best remixes kept the vocals and the original song chord/piano progressions/layouts as they are....Icytat adopted such a method on this remix and it works pretty well.

Cant say this remix will be a chart topper, but it will definitely feature in a number of mixes on radio and in the club circles. Personally am enjoying this remix. Looking forward to hearing it more on radio.



What are your views and comments about the song ?????

Album Review: Asaph - Kingsvilla 2

Zim Hip Hop is a polarizing genre, it has its few loyal fans then for others its nearly non existent. For me most of the tracks are generic and they don't do it for me that much but now and then there comes an artist that just wows me and restores my hope in local hip hop. Asaph is one such artist, he announced his arrival with the Kingsvilla Album last year and got some heads turning. He then went on to release the follow up Kingsvilla2 and this time I decided to give myself a chance to listen to the album. After a couple of listens I was keen on making a review of the album, and get to share the project with fellow Zimbos. So ya today will be giving my thoughts on the album. The album contains 13 tracks and will be giving a track by track review . 1. City Hall Benches "Tamara voice note saying how much he misses his man Asaph and how much she is looking forward to seeing him..." This is a track for the ambitious and dreamers.  Asaph does not want to remain
