Music is almost prescribed for Psquare. The Okoye twins treat it like science.
Half the time they are creating ‘original’ remixes to big songs by taking the core elements, pushing it sideways and creating a new record that does not look like its source material, but sticks to the basic format.
confirm through their discography, you would always find songs that are
similar to others. ‘Shoki’ became ‘Shekini’, ‘Mad over you turned into ‘Away’,
and so forth. When these happen, the fans really don’t care.
Psquare is almost
beyond reproach. Having from time after time performed for over two decades,
they have produced enough emotional capital to do whatever they like. And so,
if they decide to remix a hit song, who are we to hold them answerable for it?They are gods
Self-produced, the single and its video is one huge optimistic message: You are beautifully created, and you don’t need enhancements and validation from people to know that. ‘E ma e mara nma…” which translates into English as ‘Do you know you are beautiful, before they go on to affirm the message that ‘Nobody ugly’.
We live in a age where technology and the freedom of the web has created a world of hyper-information on social media. People are continually sold a certain lifestyle as the best, a perfect and improved physical appearance as the new cool, and anyone who does not possess this isn’t human and would be powerless of having a rich life.
It roughly brings tears to my eyes, with all of that bright colors mixing with good intentions, and superstardom. Now that’s a winning one. This song can do a lot of good. It will do a lot of good.
And for Psquare, this will be another money maker. The twins persist to hold their own, adapting to the industry, and finding new means to keep their brand fresh, relevant and entertaining
