Kiss Daniel should know by now that he is all the star he
needs to shine.
You do not come out with a single on your first trial
attempt at breaking into the industry, hit it enormously big and then wait on
Tiwa Savage and Davido to be the brink of your rise. No!
After all the hype that was Woju Remix, I must say that the
expectation bar dropped below the point of limbo. Does Daniel know he had the
most decent delivery of all the vocal features on his smash single? And there
was even nothing new to his verses, everything was typical as the original
version.
Tiwa was almost very convincing with her rhymes on her ‘getting
money like Rihanna, seeing the future sierra, nothing go stop me or never’ line
but I hold my opinion that she had no business being on this remix. Then
Davido. Trust me, my excitement knew some bounds when I first got wind of the
news that he was going to be featured on the remix, and just like I expected,
he flunked it! Well, not totally though. I think the only thing I enjoyed was
his refined vocal range or he could just have been having a really good voice
day, who knows?
The mix on Tiwa’s cut was… sigh! She started to sound like
she was muffling out her verse. Asides the fact that they both didn’t fit
perfectly on the remix, they’ve barely done anything to change how we perceived
Daniel’s star. If they loved the song that much, then they should have it
playing on their car stereos and resort to doing their cover versions while
taking a shower. Those will suffice.
I think Daniel’s management got unusually carried away with
the unexpected glory that was Woju and then their lack of a savage plan led
them to slumbering a little too long on 2014. Thank God this is now 2015 and
their remix is finally out. ‘Tleast we can now move on quickly from it unless
they’ve planned on a video release (I’m sure they have), which pricks
conscience over a painful waste of beautiful resource.
See, I know y’all will claim to love the remix three
much and shower undue accolades on Tiwa and Davido especially for
impressing with their takes on the remix but the ugly truth is that this remix will
not be bigger than the original and won’t even be as big as the original. I
mean, why won’t anybody take a cue from Patoranking’s Girlie O’ treatment and
toe after it’s success that oddly had the same Tiwa Savage on it. You say I’m
hating? Whatever please! Unless this is the misfit y’all were watching out for
this 2015 from him, then jamming your hands in a fallacious applause would do
undeserving justice. This subtle damage already done would clearly surface when
y’all his same fans nail him to the cross for falling your hand with his next
release just because he failed to meet the outrageously high expectations set
for him.
Woju Remix is perhaps the result of forcing something that
you already know wasn’t meant to be. Just like oil and vinegar, they can go
together but they just don’t mix!
