Not to be pedantic but this is basically a posh (not saying the singer is posh or anything) version of pidgen english and very sparse Yoruba. I’m a Yoruba boy myself and this sounds about as self conscious as I get when I speak to my aunties. When they ask me questions like “why do I have dreads they look untidy, will you cut them off” or when they tell me “I’m ruining my skin with Tattoos” and the icing on the cake “do you have a girlfriend? when are you getting married?”.
Still it’s different and progressive, video could have been cut a little better but all in all I dont want to be the fucking grinch that stole christmas. At least they bothered to make some visuals as opposed to just putting up a fucking boring Jpeg up. I’m pointing at all of you who do that!! You might as well just fucking get a Soundcloud! Real talk!
“Shakara” also basically means “Showing off” / “Posing” / “Fronting”. I mainly like the singer because she seems to have a nice haunting voice, nothing too Over the top or forced. Also her name reminds me of Suya, a kebab like delicacy I havent had in ages!
