Track Review: Bryan K - Heavy Machine

-
Bryan K gave us one of the best album of 2015. Nyaya Dzerudo is a brilliant album and for a debut album, its the perfect announcement of his arrival on the local music scene. Managed to do a review of the album a couple of months back : Nyaya Dzerudo Album Review. Also included him among the top 10 artists to watch out for in 2016 (Zim Artists to watch in 2016). So how does Heavy Machine fare??


He left his usual sound and experimented on this track. Heavy Machine is a house track, and he worked with award winning producer Reverb 7. His track Beautiful You Are has a lot of house elements to it and on this track he went full afro house. The instrumental has a nice bass line and some simple but on point keyboard work. Bryan also added some nice guitar work on the track to give it that extra edge. Great work on the production.

This track is a celebration of the African Woman as Bryan stated. African women are known for their full figures hence the ziHeavy Machine analogy. But its not only about the full figure, Bryan is also highlighting their other priceless attributes, like their natural beautiful dark skin, brown eyes,  their understanding nature, their down to earth personalities, their unwavering support....basically all the stuff we love about our ladies. Indeed its a celebration of our beautiful ladies.

Bryan gave a great performance as usual. Every time he gets behind the mic he reminds us why he was the winner of the Star Brite competition and also why Zimbos must now start to give him more attention. His vocal performance was strong and on point here, with a lot of proud emotions behind it.



In overall this is a good track. At first did not know how I felt about the switch to house, but well house (esp deep house) and jazz share a lot of attributes so as much as it is a change (and because I love Beautiful You Are) I quickly warmed up to the track. This track will definitely help introduce Bryan to a lot of Zimbos because jazz does not get as much public attention as Dancehall, Hip Hop and House,  also coupled with a Reverb 7 signature its bound to get airplay on radio stations and that will be highly beneficial to Bryan.

What are your thoughts on the track?

Mixtape Review : Brythreesixty - Purple Mars

-

Brythreesixty has finally released his much publicized Purple Mars Mixtape. 2016 is more like a do or die year for him. He has to show if he can compete with the best and in a year dubbed by many as the Year of Zim Hip Hop he is gonna have to put in more work than before. So how does Purple Mars fare?? Will be reviewing my top 4 tracks from the Purple Mars Mixtape and will leave  the others for you the fans and readers to rate!! God Feeling ( Sikelela ) ft J.S.K.X.X.V.I The first thing you hear is the nice laid instrumental which am loving. God Feeling is about feeling like a boss regardless of the current challenges and putting your trust in God. Success starts from within and this track is about having a winner's mentality. In terms of the verses both the guys were in beast mode and they gave superb verses. Was enjoying the track till the last Nkosi Sikelela chant in the end, it sounded as if it's not at the same wave length as the rest of the track, better mixing
