Track Review : Trevor Dongo - Short of Words/Mashoko Apera

-
The King of RnB is back with a new track. Trevor D has been on top of his game since he released Ndozviita Sei more than 6 years ago. In terms of love songs Trevor is one of the best in Zim, his lyrics are always on point, no unnecessary, flashy or cheesy lines, only Alexio Kawara can give Trevor a real challenge when it comes to love songs. Trevor is also a superb vocalist, one of the best in local music. Personally I don't ever recall hearing a boring song from Trevor, he always nails it, so I expected nothing but a great jam with this new track....so lets see how it fares.

Produced by Lazzie T at Big Tinx records. The production is standard, the track is sounding very good. The song has a format that was most used during the Urban Grooves Movement days, great keyboard work on top of a uptempo kind of beat which makes the listener rock from side to side. Despite an influx of many American sounding instrumentals, when it comes to Zimbabwe this is the feel and arrangement that resonates with the majority, its our own distinct RnB sound. Great work by Lazzie T on the productions.

This is a track for those moments in a relationship whereby it seems you have nothing more to talk about. There is still love between two of you but you are too much used to each other so the spark is less bright now. You even realize that you now have to brainstorm a topic in order to have a decent conversation. This is the stage where you start fighting about silly and petty stuff. At this stage of a relationship the word Sorry is said more than I Love You. Its a phase in relationships which is largely ignored, but it has caused many breakups and its the point many people cheat on their partners. 

Trevor is already a great vocalist and he proves that on this song. He blended well with the instrumental and the end result is one lovely track. Don't know if the track is based on Trevor's recent publicized relationship issues or not but regardless of that, am loving the track.


In overall this is a nice track, one you are likely to find yourself singing along to in no time. Trevor has opened his 2016 catalog in a great way, will definitely be looking forward to more tracks from him.

What are you thoughts on the track????

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
