Move on is one heck of a song, one of the best we have heard from a Nigerian Musician in a while, the vocal rendition is unparalleled, the lyrics are deep and relatable and the melody is out of this owrld. Hey do not take our word for it, you can listen to the song below while you skim through the review of the song.
The song starts as a slow melancholic song with instrumentals playing and then Simi's sonorous and smooth vocals make for a great combination. From the very beginning of the song, you can tell that the song will be awesome.
You know that one relationship you find yourself stuck up on and unable to move on even though you are being played, well that is what the song is about. Moveon was superbly written with an interesting development tale and a very relatable condition. We have to confess, the lyrics of the song resonated deeply within us.
Simi's vocals were unbridled, this is one of the few songs that we were truly able to appreciate Simi's vocal; prowess, we were blown away and totally reminded of a vocal queen Simi is.
The melody of the song is great, Rhythm of Blues with the influence of Yoruba Rhythm via the traditional drums that were used in the song. It gave the song a unique sound and the harmony of the song is great!
The song is absolutely recommended by us!
