The long anticipated “Sweet Distraction album” by Skales is finally out and available for stream and download.
OHK entertainment honcho, Skales presents a brand new album tagged “Sweet Distraction” featuring Blaqbonez, Imanse, Zoro, Rotimi and Kabusa Oriental Choir.
It is his fourth studio album, following the previous three “Man of The Year,” “The Never Say Never Guy,” and “Mr Love.”
The new album “Sweet Distractions” consists of 14 songs and it is all hits after hits.
Over woozy synths, emphatic kick drums and roving pianos, Skales finds good synergy “Pants on Fire” with fellow Nigerian artist Blaqbonez who, like himself, started out as a rapper, but later embraced the melodious advantage of his singing voice. “Heart in a casket/I’m done with that love shit” sings Blaqbonez with steely resolve to repair a deep hurt.
On more than one occasion, Skales proves to be a dab hand at amapiano. “Kpakurukpa” siphons the musicality of a non-word for the hook, which is layered with treated vocals and business-like lyrics about fun: “come take this life seriously/Hit the floor make we dance” urges Skales who, elsewhere, enlists the A-list support of Davido on “This Your Body”.
Hit producer Krizbeatz deploys broody synthesizers and patient piano on “Selense” which benefits from the enchanting presence of Zlatan, the inventor of zanku dance craze whose fame has become a source of incredulity: “Why dem dey threaten my life/Say I use dance collect their wife?”.
Without much ado, feel free to watch, stream, download and share. Also follow us on all our social media platform for latest music updates.
