Keyboards wail in the background while Ruby Gyang gushes over a love interest. It reeks of 6-week-old romance & makes for slow-dance-in-the-living-room music.
10- Dice Ailes - Ella
‘’Ella’’ is one of the old, underrated melodious love track tunes that dominated the airwave when Dice Ailes was released. You may not understand the soothing nature of the melody, or the mastery with which ‘’Dice Ailes’’ plays with minor keys and sharpened notes until it's a cold Friday night with your lover.
The piano and the backing chorals towards the end of the songs sets an emotional mood. The song is built on admiration for an imaginary girl called ‘ELLA’. With Ckay’s contribution as the producer, Dice went back in time to sing about ‘’rain rain, go away, come again another day’’ - a traditional nursery rhyme that was published in the 17th century.
11- Loose Kaynon feat. Victoria Kimani - Like A Woman
"Like A Woman" is a really beautiful love song. The mid-tempo song is easy to sleep on, but the slow tempo of the beat is hypnotizing and useful for a windy Friday evening. The artists, especially Loose Kanon, contributed to the song to make the song lively.
Victoria Kimani’s part on the track conjures images of flirting under dim lights at a lounge on a Friday. The backing hums make for a melody that works.
12- Ice Prince ft Chip - Mercy
What do you get when two hardcore rappers collide in the studio to make a sensual love song? Oh Lord of mercy, mercy, mercy, See my sexy, sexy, sexy, She's bigger than plenty, plenty, plenty Carry waist like Nicki Minaj and ..."
At some parts of the song, Ice Prince adores women and lusts over a lady’s body with autotune supplying some decent flavour.
13- Jesse Jagz- Sugarcane baby
Everything about this song screams wedding as singer and rapper Jesse Jagz steps hard on the pedal, as talking drums meet violin and backing vocals on this potential love song banger. The songwriting is romantic and poetic as the acoustic guitar elevates the atmospheric feel of the track. The lines ‘’I believe so much that you were specially made for me from heaven, Cos the way I feel about you is indescribable, You've made a difference in my life’’ reads more like a love letter than lyrics.
14- Candy Bleakz - Dragon Anthem
As the female street Queen, Candy Bleakz didn't hold back from flowing smoothly on the street anthem, titled ‘’Dragon Anthem’’. In the song, Clever penmanship seals the intercourse between Fuji and Amapiano. Percussions hold sway as Candy Bleakz croons about street rules and how she's being talked about as the star that she is. Amidst a nod to Naira Marley’s style, we can hear Zlatan’s ad-libs throughout the chorus of the song.
15- MI Abaga ft Lorraine Chia- You're like melody, my heart skips a beat
Lorraine Chia is your favourite vocalist, and he proves his mettle with an infectious hook with his voice sparkling nostalgia. MI Abaga has always known how to write about love, and on this track, he hands in the energy.
‘’And my intention isn't to flatter (uh), But I guess it doesn't matter (uh), Cause I ain't seen nobody badder(uh), And that ass is getting fatter’’ is quite a sleek bar, makes for giggles; Brilliant cadence and delivery.
