Fast-rising street-pop artist Islambo joins forces with conscientious street crooner Bella Shmurda for a potent follow-up named “DEJAVU II”.
This exciting sequel comes at a moment when street ravers and Afrobeats fans are feeling reflective and in need of rhythm-heavy jams to inspire them in their quotidian grind. Young dreamers around the city are always looking for tunes that inspire, that combine street-smart philosophy with irresistible energy. So Islambo hooks up with Bella Shmurda to deliver a substantial follow-up to the original version.
The producer builds a happy mid-tempo soundscape centered on thundering kick drums and crisp shaker rhythms. He maintains the heat steady behind ambient synth chords, rolling log percussion, and a powerful sub-bass line, keeping the tempo swinging. But the percussive arrangement is open, leaving both voices space to flourish.
Islambo’s unique raw tone and bold verbal delivery win the record. He sails over the enthusiastic pace with ease, dropping captivating Pidgin lyrics and passionate refrains that grab your attention immediately from the opening drop. This energetic performance brings a dynamic and introspective feel to the mood.
Bella Shmurda comes into the joint and raises the energy with his distinctive street mentality and scratchy vocal style. Most of the songs are about keeping your head up, learning from your mistakes, enjoying the simple things in life every day, and going for the money. His legendary verse and unfiltered excitement make this song an immediate anthem for dreamers everywhere.
Everything on this record gels together beautifully to provide a thoroughly enjoyable listen. The colorful production works nicely with their unique vocal delivery throughout the whole run time. The result is a sequel with an addicting, repeat-play momentum.
