Nigerian music businessman and curator Dapper has recruited Afropop star L.A.X and street-hop poet Balloranking for a deep and uplifting tune “Alafia (Peace).”
This timely collaboration comes at a time when music fans are craving introspective, soul-soothing tracks that marry irresistible rhythm with sincere words of comfort. While fast-paced party anthems take over the radio, songs based around peace, mental balance and gratitude always leave a lasting mark. Ultimately, Dapper pulls these disparate artistic voices together into a collective that seeks harmony, celebrates progress, and protects one’s own peace amidst the chaos of existence.
The beatmaker creates a pleasant mid-tempo soundscape with electric piano chords, laid-back guitar plucks and sharp percussion shakers in a mellow atmosphere. A smooth Afro-fusion percussion beat sits under a rolling bassline, giving the rhythm an enticing bounce without disturbing the tranquil atmosphere. Meanwhile, the clean sound engineering allows enough breathing room for every voice layer and melodic transition to come through with utter clarity.
L.A.X leads the record with his distinctive silky vocal texture, delicate melodies and flawless pitch control. He skates on the beat with confidence, throwing in catchy choruses and silky Yoruba expressions that immediately create a positive, feel-good atmosphere from the first verse.
Balloranking jumps right after to pick up the music with his raw, passionate voice and street-hardened pace. Their innate creative chemistry makes a personal prayer for wellness a universally consoling anthem for dreamers everyplace.
It’s all so interconnected that this release is a fully realized, deeply rewarding listening experience. The brilliant, soul-filled production follows their distinctive vocal styles step for step throughout the full run length.
