Iyanya dropped “No Drama” about a few weeks ago. But after the release of the song, there was indeed drama. He began to tour media houses, dropping gist on the circumstances surrounding his exit from Made Men Music Group, a label he co-founded.
His interview and a counter interview from his former partner, Ubi Franklin ensured that Iyanya enjoyed a lot of press rounds. People started to talk about him again. His emotional tirade had paid off.
“An EP is on the way.” That is not Iyanya’s quote by the way.
No surprise today, he released “Halle”. On that song, he featured Duncan Mighty (who is also in the news). “Halle” did not drop into a bottomless pit. It dropped into an active pool, where a discussion was already ongoing.
Iyanya does not attempt to go a controversial route in this song. Wene too. Instead, he sings about his successes and how grateful he has been.
Considering its tepid pattern, could this song possibly interrupt the discussions ongoing and not only get attention from people but also sustain it? With its catchy hook and a nice beat, which is now a trite feature of Nigerian pop songs, it may.
While music enthusiasts await his EP, Rebirth, this one “Halle” is to hold ground first.
