Review: Davido – D&G (Feat. Summer Walker)
Davido really gave us a good time with this album that cut across various genres of music. Genres like afro-pop, R&B, afro-house, hip-hop, reggae, dancehall, and even jazz. All songs on this album are feel-good songs, hence the title, A Good Time.
Davido surpassed all expectations, to be honest. I mean we expected growth, but this album sounds timeless. One thing we love the most about A Good Time is the perfect blend of different genres and cultures on various songs on this album. Just add Latin's reggaeton genre, and this would have cut across all the popular genres out.
The stand-out records on this album are Intro, One Thing, D&G, and Disturbance. The most interesting song to listen to was 'Sweet In The Middle' due to the fact that it was the most experimental song on the project. The dark-horse of the album is 'Animashaun' which features Yonda. Yonda has a case for being the most underrated singer/songwriter in Nigeria. Our least favorite song is 'Big Picture', as the song felt unnatural for all artiste involved. Dremo was the best thing that happened to the song.
This is a really great album. In years to come, we will definitely be adding this album to the hall of fame of African albums.
