The next edition of radio show ‘The Drop Spot’ that airs on Metro Fm 97.7 every Tuesday by 12:30 - 1:30pm hosted by Rexx and Ife, centred on Wande Coal’s sophomore album
Rexx had his guest Ayomide Tayo, who is a respected music critic and Senior Associate at Pulse, join him to review Wande Coal’s ‘Wanted’ album on ‘The Drop Spot’.
Ayomide expressed his critical points that Wande’s album “is not a classic album, but it’s a very good album.”
While Rexx would have expected a ‘ power-ballad’ from the combination of Wande Coal and 2face Idibia who he described as ‘our Classic men’, Ayomide felt the song, ‘Make you mine’ was ‘not bad’.
“There must be something going on between Wande Coal and Burna Boy.” Ayomide and Rexx agreed on this synergy which was evident in the songs , ‘Amorawa’ and ‘Wanted (rmx)’.
For ‘Kpono’ which features Wizkid, “it didn’t just feel right for” Ayomide. He has ‘always had a problem with Wande Coal and Wizkid’s collaboration.
Also Maleek Berry, Sarz, Legendury beatz, Xela, J Fem, Beat Freakz and LeriQ were described as ‘ a singer’s dream’ but that Maleek Berry should have ‘ochestrated the production better...’
No song on the ‘Wanted’ album seemed to tell Wande’s 6-year story since the last album, “Mushin 2 Mohits.”
Meanwhile, “there were way too many tracks,” 23 tracks including 4 skits asides the fact that the album had no story or theme. Wande Coal got his Art kicked, reset and hugged during this review on Metro 97.7fm.
Rexx and Ayomide touched on everything including Don Jazzy’s conspicuous absence from the ‘Wanted’ project. Listen here or watch the video to find out their final rating of the album.
