Odunsi aka The Engine is one of the very few foremost Alternative pop artistes leading the new generation of talented, non conforming, vibrant and carefree Nigerian Alte Musicians. Although this song was released October last year as the 11th track from his debut album rare. That is right, Odunsi is relatively new in the industry and a fresh breath from all the mainstream noise we get from just about every musician out there. Star signs sticks to the very core of Odunsi’s sound, an alternative jam that is different and appealing. The more exciting thing about the song is the fact that Runtown got featured in the song. We must confess, Runtown blended into the song like a chameleon blends into its environment.
Here is a video of the song below:
Star signs starts with some soul serenading instrumentals, from the intro you can already hear the freshness of sound that leads to a warm and mellow swell.
Star signs get an extra brownie point for appealing plot development and great lyrical structure. One can tell that the writer took his time to write the song and got a lot of things right.
Sharp, precise tonguing is needed to make this much sound quality. We found the use of sonorous pedal-point to be even more impressive and fascinating. The vocals can be likened to a course of delectables that were combined well to give what is usually called a balanced diet but this time a balanced sound.
The rich and resonant brass and the crisp and exact percussion dominate the scene throughout, as the main theme is somewhat developed.
Although the song scores great in plot development and lyrical structure, it does not do too well in lyrical depth. Not that it scored badly, it still managed to score an average score in terms of lyrical depth, it's just that the structure and development were so great that we felt a little bit disappointed about the depth.
This piece is a tender expression and an excellent composition for listening dynamics, balance of tone, and phrasing. The contrast in scoring makes this piece a first-rate choice for your playlist, you should really download it.
