| Azu Yeche - Lagos |
Release Date: Out Now
OK, there's a fair chance this
guy could be absolutely huge in the next 18 months so sit up straight and get
in on the ground floor. Azu Yeche is a London based singer-songwriter with a
voice that is absolutely crammed full of soul, pathos and emotion - the likes
of which we rarely hear these days. New single 'Lagos' is a sparse, heartbroken
and heartfelt song about sending your child away to the city to have a chance
of a better life - a common story across the developing world and one that
Yeche clearly has some personal experience of. The piano melody is simple but
so, so effective and the atmosphere just builds around the pure, soulful voice
that is the centre piece of this track. On the one hand this is an absolutely
beautiful yet tragic song that will bring anyone with a heart to a standstill.
On the other hand, this is a joyously soulful song that wouldn't be out of
place in the set list of Stevie Wonder or John Legend. Absolutely stunning
stuff.
