Another episode of “Osikoya Speaks,” where they dive deep into the world of music, artists, and their creative journeys. In the recent session, they had a thought-provoking discussion comparing the distinct styles of two talented musicians: Asake and Seyi Vibes, along with the perspectives of our their guests.
The conversation took an interesting turn when they expressed their admiration for Seyi Vibes' recent musical endeavors. They highlighted the uniqueness and charm of Seyi Vibes' music, emphasizing that Asake couldn't quite match the vibes that Seyi effortlessly brings to his songs. The guest also acknowledged that Seyi Vibes predominantly uses Yoruba lyrics, a characteristic that may not resonate with everyone but holds a special place for those familiar with the language and culture.
While recognizing that Seyi Vibes' lyrics might not always appear coherent, the guest made a clear distinction between the two artists, asserting that they are simply not on the same level. They appreciated Seyi Vibes' ability to deliver captivating performances, even on beats that lack traditional melodies. This quality, they argued, sets him apart and showcases his versatility as an artist.
As the discussion unfolded, it became evident that musical preferences are subjective, and what resonates with one person may not necessarily resonate with another. They engaged in a healthy exchange of opinions, respecting each other's viewpoints and acknowledging the diverse tastes within the audience.
