Recently, Something spontaneous hit the airwaves like a gigantic tornado and left a lot of people wondering and guessing, A frantic research revealed that a young epic artiste in the name of Nelson Keys had struck a dynamic blow in the heart of music mainstream with his EP titled 20:AM...
The 4-track extended play has been received with massive support from friends & foes alike expressing their satisfaction with the songs, So let's do a review on the EP to know what's getting music lovers jumping on their toes...
TITLE: TWENTY AM
First of all the title of the EP gives us a notch above the par on what the artiste here is portraying, It can't be said that the EP has something to do with Time because of the presence of AM on the titled and there's no such thing like 20:am on the clock. Had it been it read 20:PM we can guess that the emphasis has something to do with the said time.
on another note ,the art cover has an inscription written "Birthday EP" and coincidentally the artiste's date of birth anniversary is just a few days past the Release date. So we can say that He is offering a part of himself as a gift to bless the world on his birthday to commemorate two decades on earth , So the title here might mean "Hey I'm Twenty, Here is what I have to offer" .
Now let's take a look at the songs...
FLAMES OF THE GODS
The caption of this very song might sound baffling to religious minds because of the mention of the word "gods" but a closer attention to the lyrics proves otherwise.
Nelson Keys lyrical prowess exhibits itself in the song. The artiste's play on words creates a pleasurable ride to the listeners.
The artiste's description of himself using the word of God defends his use of the word 'gods'. but on a critical note, The song needs a bit of a conspicuous reggae style to blend the artiste's rhythm and match his flow, But anyway, Flame of the gods is the type of song that'll be on repeat on your playlist.
FLOURISHING
Next, The funky style song 'flourishing' is the kind of song that'll get you shaking your head side to side , jumping up and down and riding all the way.
This song guarantees you a happy time with both the instrumentals ,lyrics and voice grinding along together to swing the listener on a merry go round.
Furthermore the oscillating high pitch and sparingly repeated chant of 'I flourish' carries both the old and young all the way to a flourishing time. Flourishing scores a 100% on the 20:AM billboard chart scoresheet.
HAIL THE LAMB
Next on the list is yet another mind blowing song. Hail the lamb is a soul speaking lullaby to God. Just as a saying goes 'some words are left unsaid,only the heart can relate' ,Nelson keys vocalises the unspoken words of the heart in this song to help the listener worship God with wholeheartedness and devotion. One cannot be blamed for thinking that the producer might be one of the 24 elders in heaven.
Hail the lamb scores a 100% in spirit edifying songs...
WRITE A SONG
Lastly but unequivocally not the least is the command-like musical masterpiece. Write a song brings to mind the sermon 'the man ,the message and the mandate' ,The young artiste clearly expresses the feeling of a divine will. One can broadly hear a tinge of lucidity in his voice regarding his assignment, We can here deduce that another David has risen with new testament psalms.
The pacy rhythm of the song is enough to turn any hip hop freak into a ballet dancer,and clearly one can't help but hope for more...
Noting all the wonderful testimonies told about 20:AM and with the Artiste ready to drop a full album soon, a lot of fans must be eagerly waiting in anticipation. It can be said that Nelson Keys will soon be the face of gospel music worldwide with the EP 20:AM as solid evidence. No wonder a fan commented that since the release of his first single 'beginning' every song from him is a back to back hit.So we can say that Nelson Keys served us something sizzling hot and fresh from heavens kitchen.
Enough of the talks, Let's get to hear the real music, shall we?
