YARIASU ALBUM REVIEW
BY WANJIKU THUKU
Nyashinski is one artist who has proved himself and his musical prowess to stamp his foot in the music industry – despite all odds he has faced in his musical career, he just signed a huge music deal with the distribution company/record label Sony Music Africa in Cape Town, South Africa, that has come at a perfect time when he needed a platform for musical growth and elevation in his life. He just released/launched his brand new 13-track album called ‘Yariasu’ that has been received so well on all digital streaming platforms worldwide and came out as the number one album on Spotify Africa within 14 hours of its release (which is quite impressive for a first-time release). Some of the songs on the album include: Grateful, Legendary, Don't Play with My Money (DPWMM), Wine, Fresh, Elegance, Dubai, P.I.C (Partner In Crime), Tai Chi, M.I.A (Missing In Action), Celebrate Life, and Becoming.
In this particular album we see a more mature Nyashinski,musically grown ,using lots of wordplay in his powerful lyrics, well thought out musical arrangements and well mixed and mastered insturmentals in each track.Some of the styles/genres he has used are Afrobenga,AfroJazz,Afro Rnb,Hiphop ,Amapiano and swing and Rhumba.This album is very close to Nyashinski’s heart,mind,body and soul as he has broken all musical barriers and has punchlines that leave tongues wagging as he points deep truths of certain tough situations that built more and stamina to keep giving hits to the world as a special gift to his superfans and followers as a true testimony of God’s undying love,grace and mercy over his life (intertwined with his faith and showing his religious side).Check it out on all digital platforms.
