Sensational Nigerian artist and Blown Boy leader, Ruger, has dropped a daring studio project tagged “R.U. (Raw & Unfiltered), Vol.1.”
The long-awaited offering arrives at a time when Afrobeats fans are starved for raw vocal performances and street-flavored romantic themes. Ruger has made a name for himself in the global urban arena with his unique raspy tone and appealing tracks. So he utilizes this CD to cement his place as a prominent player in modern Afro-fusion music.
The sound architects create a lush, deep, and dynamic soundscape of snappy percussion shakers, warm piano melodies, and hefty basslines. They keep the momentum alive by throwing in some subtle Dancehall and Amapiano percussion beats to the tracklist. But the clean setting allows his loud vocals to dominate each piece entirely.
Ruger is right up front with the cut with his raspy register, sharp pitch control, and solid delivery. He can glide effortlessly between foot-stomping party songs and seductive late-night crooning at any pace. His voice delivery is so charismatic; his performance makes the whole endeavor feel lively and party hungry.
Songwriting is driven by passion, street swagger, dealing with love relationships, and celebrating financial accomplishment. He sings about five-star love and staying away from false mates in the industry. This makes his lyrics more approachable and his refrains more catchy and really appeals to the layperson.
It all comes together seamlessly on this album to make for a very rewarding listening experience. The production is lively and matches his powerful vocal fire beat for beat. The result is an album that leaves a lasting and memorable impact.
