After her final full album Pamoja, Etana has been preserving busy with a number of releases following the Grammy-nominated album. Numerous singles, the Acoustic Gold Vol. 1 album, and the Pamoja Competition Reside in Nairobi have been launched on the highway to Etana’s newest self-produced album Nectar Of The Gods.
Nectar Of The Gods is a well-chosen album title for the reason that manufacturing, once more, sounds as candy as honey. The album carries the everyday Etana vibe, leaving little question that you’re listening to an Etana album. From the primary notes of ‘Jah By no means Fail’ that includes Large Youth to the ultimate bonus monitor ‘Sunkissed’, Etana takes you on a optimistic experience by varied moods.
Personally, I gravitate extra in direction of uplifting tracks like ‘Don’t Give Up’ and ‘Grateful’, however ‘Nuh Know Bout We’ additionally made me rock and sway whereas writing this text. The extra lovey-dovey tracks like ‘Mr. Jones and ‘Vibration’ aren’t actually up my alley.
One other side I at all times recognize in new albums is the more and more frequent collaborations. There isn’t a scarcity of these on this album as Etana teamed up with Bugle, Mr. Cheeks, Samini, Randy Valentine, JonFX, Ghanaian reggae-dancehall greatness Shatta Wale, and the aforementioned legend Large Youth.
I believe that Etana, as soon as once more, did an incredible job with this album, and I wouldn’t thoughts if this album goes up for a Grammy once more—or higher but, the third time’s the attraction: a Grammy win!
The album leaves me witth one query although… “Weh Di Weed Deh”?
Go try the brand new album and let me know what you concentrate on it. And even higher, go see Etana stay at a pageant or venue close to you.
