Ednut, Music and Me!

Here is Tunde Ednut, the 'best Naija comedian in the UK', award winning artist, Black Entertainment Comedy Awards nominee........ Singer, the self acclaimed entertainer.

The first time I meet Ednut was on youtube through one of his comedy acts, then we became FB friends, moved on to twitter, I was privileged to be one of the very first listeners of his first single titled 'My Kindda Song', which has and is still receiving air play all over the country. Now he is set to release his 2nd song titled 'Catching Cold' in 2days time but before he does, lets talk about 'My Kindda Song'.

When Ednut released 'My kindda Song' sometimes last year, it drew mixed feelings/ reactions from fans & foes and most especially those on twitter. While some believe it is not worthy to be called a song, others believe it is the song for the moment.
The song which is more of an entertainment act approves Ednut's claim of being an entertainer with the unique blend and mimic of Wande Coal and D'Banj's voice/ style/ song but the video which I taught would be the killer, actually turned out to be the 'killer'. It portrays noting about the song but a show of.....*sighs* should I call it effizy or what? At least, we should see a DJ at one point and Ednut probably 'waiting for the DJ to play his kind of song all night' but all we could see was Ednut swimming and miming. Good Camera, Nice Concept, Good production but all to a wrong song.
So many people had their say on this and based on my sampling, those who liked the song after seeing the video were more than those who liked the song before seeing the video but as an entertainer, I taught it will be nice if we could get something more entertaining than just watching a guy flex his muscles in a pool surrounded by gurls.
Though I will give kudos to Tunde Ednut and SamKlef for a successful production, the video director needs to be more creative and be able to draw a line between an entertainment act and a 'song'.
I really don't know what to expect from 'Catching Cold' but I just hope it will be much more better than 'My Kindda Song', fingers crossed!

Till then *signing out*
