For the record, I’m one that seldom does music reviews for the sake of it but the opportunity to drop my assessment on Jaywon’s latest single titled “Ajé” is one I can’t afford to pass me by.

Beyond the dance track that keeps us celebrating in the industry, every year there’s always one deep motivational song to drive home reassurance from our individual battles. And that’s what the song “Ajé” is all about.

In today’s society govern by leaders blind to the reality that the lines that separate the middle class from the point of poverty is blurred and the capacity to reject suicidal thoughts is lost; then, the need to find avenue to inspire hope is paramount. This song “Ajé” couldn’t have come at the better time.

The melody is overwhelming and the message is soulful. The opening line “I can’t lie, I can’t wait no more” which ushered in the prayer “Ajé jowo wa mi ri” (meaning –breakthrough, success and wealth should follow me), is heartfelt. This is an evergreen song that will resonate with locals and reflect on the world stage. I rate this song 10 out of 10.
