Kizz Daniel seems to have dropped his ‘Thanks Alot’ EP more for financial gain than for legacy.
I've followed Kizz Daniel from the days of Kiss Daniel, his dad rebuilding Olumo Rock. This explanation is to bring you back to the memory lane of Kizz Daniel until the present. Where is the vibe he used to compose songs like "Woju," "Mama," "Sin City," "Another Day," and the rest? This EP feels more like him dropping something to make money, rather than focusing on his legacy and what the world will say about him in the next 10 years. It's high time for Kizz Daniel to take his time and find inspiration from the old Kiss Daniel we know. His fan base is strong, but if he keeps going like this, he might end up like Eddy Remedy. Join me in reviewing his new EP, "Thanks Alot.
Track 1: "Sonner" feels like the second verse of "Too Busy To Be Bae." There's nothing particularly special about the track; it's a good song, but what is its purpose? Moreover, upon closer listening, it's just average, which is disappointing considering the new songs should be better and stronger than the singles we've already heard before the EP. Most fans probably won't agree with this review, though
Track 2: "Showa" raises a question: amidst all the issues in the country, why are all these tracks focused on women? Does Kizz Daniel lack inspiration, or does he believe that making mid songs like this will stand the test of time? Don't get me wrong, it's a good song, but considering his track record with "Mama" in his 2016 album, it seems like Kizz Daniel just relied on his voice to sell. However, he seems to have forgotten that some new artists are emerging with better lyrics. Sorry to say, but to me, this track is likely to end up in the beer parlour, and you know what that means
Track 3: "Too Busy To Be Bae" is my favorite track, even though he released it ahead of the EP. Kizz Daniel was able to capture the experiences of many young men who struggle to balance their dreams and relationships simultaneously. This is a world that most women will never understand simply because they can't think or act like men. The track is perfectly executed and is often on repeat when I'm contemplating how to manage my relationship, business, and work all at once
Track 4: "Twe Twe" - If you scroll through my timeline, you'll see my review of this one as well. It's a good song that was able to uplift a lot of Nigerians when it came out, including me. For about 5 days, I was just dancing to the song.
Kizz Daniel did what he's known for, combining the instrumentals and lyrics in a way that either carries you away with the song or with the instrumental alone. However, with that being said, I'll rate this EP 5/10. You don't have to agree because many of you are carried away by your attachment to Kizz Daniel, not his work of art.
