NAIJ.COM Hit Song Of The Week – Banky W | ‘High Notes’ [LISTEN]
High Notes’ is a song by Bankole Wellington, more popularly known as Banky W.
It has the trademark Banky W lyrical make up, though produced by Cobhams. High Notes is total, a smooth RnB/ slow Rap piece with all the markings of a hit.There are speculations that the soon-to-be-released album might be Banky’s last, but anyhow that goes High Notes has formed a proper springboard for the project. Our interests have been piqued for what to expect by virtue of this record.
The sound is still pure, unfettered artistry and class; Wellington is everything new but hasn’t stopped being the smooth operator we’ve always known.
He sounds as he always has, and with this new one the man doesn’t look like he’s switching the sounds to favour market demands and Pop rulings of today’s industry.
Musically, the song has guitar strings, horns and thorough bass drums.
‘To rim o ti se eto si ile fun e t’o ma mu ise ya,
Oya baby sa re wa, jowo baby tun r aka
And tonight we are elevating, lemme take you higher
You’re so hot baby you’re blazing and I like playing with fire,’ he rap-sings on this new cut.
