I had a lot of fun last time I took this playlist concept to weave a tale. So, I decided to give it another go. It’s still a love story that most of us can relate to. It finds someone at the end of a relationship, trying to pick up the pieces of his/her heart...Continue reading

Smoke x Mirrors ’20|05: II
Before we get into this, let me acknowledge all the positive feedback I got for my playlist a couple of days ago. It’s always a pleasure to put people on to the sauce down here. Today, I felt like hightlighting music that treads off the beaten R&B and hip-hop path. Nowadays, where catering to your...Continue reading

Le magasin des envies, Vol. 9: Essence of Love
This is undoubtedly one of my favorite playlists concepts and it’s always fun to bring in a new piece. As Valentine’s Day is approaching, I thought I’d revisit it and help some of you fellas out.

One word. JHENÉ AIKO. Technically that’s two and not really considered words but OMFG that “Trigger Protection Mantra”…have you listened yet?!?!

I’m doing my best to catch up with the new new that’s been unleashed since then. And asides my earlier recommendations, I’ll further suggest...Continue reading

R&Cs: Surrender
We’ve been waxing a lot about Mr Eazi lately. We’ve expressed our admiration about his endeavours to foster new African talent. And We’ve also gushed about his latest project. “Surrender” is the latest single off of the outstanding Lagos to London opus. Great way to start the weekend.
Smoke & Mirrors, August: IV
One more week to go and, I don’t know about you, but I’ve enjoyed all the good music and vibes that I’ve been discovering and getting to share. Also, I’d be remiss if I didn’t take the time to acknowledge your feedback and support. It never gets old; it’s always humbling. And I always appreciate...Continue reading
