    Kidi’s ‘The Golden boy’ album feels like completion of the artistic experiment [Review]

    The long and short of ‘The Golden boy’ is that it might actually be Kidi’s best album yet.

    Kidi’s ‘The Golden boy’ feels like the completion of the artistic experiment that commenced on its debut album.

    ‘The Golden boy also contains some impressive – not pristine – pieces of songwriting that adequately serve their purpose, Kidi also has the type of voice I termed as vocal-gasm, addictive and near-perfect euphony that shows dexterity and stay-put.

    Dennis Nana Dwamena, better known as KiDi, is a Ghanaian highlife and afrobeat singer-songwriter.

    Kidi was disciplined enough to stay creatively vibrant even now that he is becoming an elder statesman in Ghanian music.

    The confidence to put out an album is highly commendable, the direction, choice of features are near perfect, enlisting Kuami Eugene, Joey B and Nigerian Patoranking

    Also, the most important highlight from the album is the great dual supporting singles (Spiritual & touch it), artwork, and track arrangement.

    A song like, ‘Spiritual featuring Kuami Eugene and Patoranking might have well been filled with vibes, professionally it happened. Also commendably, he feels a need to make ‘serious’ music because he featured Patoranking.

    Owing to its tracklisting, the production on ‘The Golden boy’ seems expansive because no two successive songs sound the same, but all the songs on this album are actually cut from the different subgenres of Afro-pop.

    Thus, even though Kidi is Ghana, the sound of this album reflects the different pop sounds from different African countries.

    Most songs on ‘The Golden boy’ are significantly inspired by the female gender and the height of it is the Joey B assisted vibe and funk track, ‘Send me nude’

    On one side, Kidi aims to praise the skin tone and curves of a black woman, but in its essence, the song actually elevates the beauty of blackness with women as one part of that.

    ‘Touch it’ combined feel-good vibes and actual meaningful lyrics, the song one can come back and play later without getting tired of it, with the dancehall style and a bit of konto-into-galala vibes.

    Daddy Issues is a tropical island laid back reggae vibes that the ballads centred on clean lyrical slight storytelling vibes and meaningful lines.

    Mon Bebe a have the potential to crack the market yet because of the familiar melodies and street acceptance
