Music, they say is therapeutic. It heals even when it hits
you hard; leaving no broken bones, only sweat breaking from the moves you’ve
been bursting. But lately, music in this part of the world seems to have hit an
all-time dry. Repetitive lyrics, similar beats, little or no vocal dexterity,
same theme, ‘make me want to yawn’ hooks, simply put, nobody puts in more than
a voice to a beat. How sad. How then do we get the healing element from music
if it’s all vulgar and empty lyrics?
Of late
quite a few artists have gone back to the music board to put pen to paper and
step up to the mic with positive vibes, lyrical content, and that ting in the
voice we have always looked out for. One of these new cats I must say is
Michelle.
With the likes of
2face, Nneka, Fela, Laurynhill and Bob Marley Taurus Riley, Diana King as
mentors, her lyrical content is on point and like a straight arrow. Not relying
on auto tune to keep her on key, she’s a breath of fresh air with two singles
(Protection and Don’t turn your back on me) already enjoying air play and a
third single anticipated to drop much later in march, Michelle is set to make
the spotlight hers.
Michelle Ekisowe,
calls her kind of music, Reggae Fusion and picked up music professionally in
2005. With her inspiration drawn from day to day life and living, this Bayelsa state
born music genius has her debut album set to drop in the later parts of 2012. Guess
it’s time to let this genie in a bottle pop out and rule… since she’s got music
which is the food of life, let her play on.
