A day after announcing his new record label, Don Jazzy has released a compilation album today as promised. And, the producer is offering every single song for free download.
Titled ‘Solar Plexus‘ which in general context means ‘a blow to the stomach’ or as they say ‘getting the wind knocked out of you‘, the 12-tracker comprises of individual songs from ‘The Mavins‘ – Wande Coal, D’Prince, Tiwa Savage and Dr SID with additional vocal back-ups from Don Jazzy himself.
Other than the intro where all acts feature on the same song, the album sees each act explore their style individually; sort of a pushing their separate brands which in my opinion defeats the purpose of a compilation album unlike the Mo’ Hits All Stars – Curriculum Vitae album where they sold the Mo’Hits chemistry in 2007.
While the ‘Don Jazzy bred’ acts Wande Coal, Dr SID and D’Prince have three songs each to themselves, Tiwa Savage (the surprise signing) disappointingly has only a song to her credit.
Understandably, maybe, because the entire project was put together in a rush., and Tiwa’s signing only just concluded.
Solar Plexus is a mixture of highs and lows as the acts perform brilliantly on one song only to fall short on the other. The production also doesn’t sound new as compared to past efforts. The album will however produce some club hits that will last for a while.
Is D’banj’s absence noticeable - of course YES.
