Amexin and DJ Tunez’s joint EP is undoubtedly a downpour of artistic emotions that projects relatable feelings over a wide range of snare-driven instrumentals and sweet-voiced melodic head-shaker.
The young afropop phenom Kalu Daniel Onoh known as Amexin born July 25th is bridging cultural gaps with sounds just as confident and infectiously youthful as ever, the 7 tracks EP feature a medley of sensual, commonly considered classical R&B and Afropop – Beside the two most well-known tracks — “Lambo” with the infused ‘street lamba’ were they shot the visualiser with Grammy-award winner Wizkid’s Lamborghini Urus SUV and the accelerating potential hit “Vanilla”
On ‘Vanilla’ – the attractive voice, vivacity, charisma, and general pidgin English combination, captures the contemporary spontaneous essence of Afropop and demonstrates that he can go deeper lyrically.
Amexin shines brightly and eulogizes on love and feel good songs as most songs are about the gorgeous woman he can’t resist, and he chases after them, with croons by an accomplished Nigerian DJ who’s worked with international stars like Ashanti, Chris Brown, Yxng Bane – If there’s any metaphysical significance in this music, it comes from Amexin’s ability to sound at peace with the kind of production he’s working on.
The allure of pop music era had fully begun to fall upon everyone and it’s a new grounds for needing fresh voices, just like Rema, Omah Lay, Ruger and then Amexin — the direction thirst for greatness which necessitates progress and mastery.
On ‘Boogie Down‘ Amexin strikes an addictive melody that draws attention with great ballads, the PD-produced mid tempo instrumentals ingest potentiality in alternative Afropop dynamism and impressive falsetto to climax with ease.
The self titled project showcases Amexin as a potential prospect for Afropop’s future by condensing whole pop subgenres into an earwormy soup. His songwriting prowess, aptitude for memorable melodies and hooks, and knowledge of how Auto-Tune works best with Afropop are a unique combination that is pushing the boundaries of what is now considered Nigerian pop music.
