Review: Wizkid – Jah Bless
SONIC SOUL!
“Jah Jah Jah Jah Bless me
Yeah you take away the pain that stay stressing
Bouncing about my God wey dey bless me
I say my Jah Jah Jah Jah Bless me”
Wizkid is back this year with a new song, the song has a different vibe from the songs that we are used to listening to from Wizkid. Somehow he has managed to fuse afrobeat and reggae together and it does sound great!
We actually like the beginning of the song, it was perfect, foreshadowing what to expect for the remaining part of the song.
While the lyrics do contain a lot of fluff and repetitions, some part of it does hold some deep meanings and messages.
We had no issue hearing Wizkid's voice and his vocal rendition actually sounded great to our ears.
The melody of the song has to be its selling point as is usually the case with most of Wizkid's songs. The perfect fusion of Afrobeat with reggae got us bobbing along and completely engaged to the song.
Dear Wizkid, we know you are literally a superstar now, however, we will like for you to put more efforts into your lyrics. All this repetitive nonsense has to stop, the chorus and verse one of the song are abysmal as far as lyrics go.
An interesting song from Wizkid barring the lyrical shortcomings of the song.
