out

showcasing
the
evolution
of
Ayo's
music
Side
A
is
led
by
Song
Of
Love
(Instrumental)
-
mid-
tempo,
synth-
heavy
music
toeing
the
line
between
lo-
f
crunch
and
sophisticated
charm.This
is
followed
closely
by
afro-disco
melters
Don't
Stop
and
the
aptly
titled
Fun
Time.
Both
with
strong
American,
disco-
funk
leanings
but
full
of
Nigerian
favour,
they
come
signed,
sealed
and
delivered
for
any
discerning
dancefoor.
Sojourn
(Ajo)
lights
up
side-B,
a
coming-of-age
journey
that
sets
the
tone
for
the
rest
of
the
album.
With
slick
US
production,
but
with
its
feet
frmly
planted
in
Yoruba
culture,
we
fnd
a
more
developed
artist
combining
talking
drums
with
distinct
'90s
production,
that
deliver
a
unique
blend
of
afro-
pop.
Gboro
Mi
Ro
echoes
the
infuence
of
Nigeria's
biggest
musical
export,
Fela
Kuti,
but
still
retains
its
own
particular
character.
Do
Good
follows
in
the
footsteps
of
its
predecessors
but
with
added
drama
and
depth.
