Me and my people we love the good times. You see good times, they never come. (so) we take the bad one and take the cheap wine…
Brymo is not at a very good place, and needs all the love and attention he can get.
Brymo’s M,D&S is one of the smartest move in recent history of Nigerian music. Brymo made a wonderful album with Son of Kapenta but it never got the audience it deserved largely because of whatever or whoever was in charge of doing so and the smart move after breaking away (to start all over) is quenching the demand, putting out a complete body of work, which Brymo and his new handlers have done with this album – merchants, dealers and slaves.
I’d rest my case with Chocolate city, the immense talent and what could have possibly gone wrong. M, D & S did have a misleading title but doesn’t take away from its content. It is a solid album. Beautiful music from the lowest point of an ‘artistry’ like Brymo says in his opening track ‘truthfully.’ Track which is screams Re-assurance of his love – or his fans.
‘Truhfully’ is more than a love song, it opens you to the mind of a ‘free’ man who is grateful for the love following thoughts ‘that his life is no good.’
Brymo – Truthfully
It sets the tone for the serious album, Chiii (my girlfriend) asked to describe the album in a sentence earlier, I couldn’t but now I’d say A stronger version of Asa (yes, the international female singer) And that’s not taking anything away from Brymo. Afrocentric, a tinge of everything musical, jazz and even conscious.
The title track M, D &S on a soft rock tip, is a closing interlude that sees the recording artiste take a bow while the encore is loud. Quick but a befitting title track.
Overall on the album, Brymo mixes consciousness, with love and get philosophical (something only 2face is pulled off brilliantly before now) give an cross-bordder, African sound that can do very well on the international scene..
