Top Nollywood actress cum musician Tonto Dikeh has officially released two new songs, ‘It’s Ova‘ and ‘Hi‘.
When
the local media reported days back that the actress was on the verge of
releasing two of her songs, the information generated lots of
controversies on the various social media platform especially twitter.
Some Fans criticized her while some of them simply praised her, saying
they couldn’t wait to see it.
The first track titled “Itz Ova”, is
a break up song produced by Teso Music and features upcoming
act, SNYPA while her second single, “Hi” is a funky, upbeat and techno
pop song.
Well, after listening to the songs, the first thing I did was to sigh deeply and then re-listen.
The
song ‘It’s Ova’ is not exactly a great song but it is a fair attempt
by the actress. It is more like a musical drama where the male vocal
(Synpa) is trying to get his lost love but the female vocalist (Tonto)
insists on “it’s ova, my heart is for another”
It focuses on the
issue of trust in relationships and ‘not appreciating what one has until
one loses it’. The tone with which Tonto Dikeh pronounced the ‘Rude
boy’ at the beginning of the song spiced up the music a little.
‘It’s
Ova’ is quite danceable, after all the ‘Azonto’ and ‘Swor’ dancers will
be able to dance to it, unlike the other song ‘Hi’ which will more
likely be appreciated by Pop song lovers. The ‘Hi’ song was simply
horrible.
A blogger said “Seriously! “Hi” Tonto Dikeh never do this to your fans again. Let it be ‘ova’.
Alas!”
This is one writer’s opinion, maybe people out there exist who
actually think her “music” is worth listening to. Check it out below.
