AFRITUNES WEEK 87 - CHARM COVER

When I first heard the song or rather
happen to hear a peep of it from my
neighbour, I knew I would get addicted and
aw such, I avoided the song. I refused to
download it. That is my fight or flight
response. I avoid attachment because they
make me...mushy.

Anyway, I held on for only three months
after the song's release and began to
listen to it after downloading - night and
day. Rema is an unusual artist to me. He
has this unique ability to transfer
emotional energy into his music be it a
high or slow tempo.

When Rema sings Afro dance, you dance. And you don't just dance, you move to the story of his music. When he gives a love song, you are transported to another dimension as well. I don't know if it happens to others, but it happens a lot
with me.

Rema has not just the gift of good music
but a hypnotic voice. You can't just help but
pay attention. The way he rolls his speech
around musical instruments is noteworthy.
One time, I thought he'd make a fortune as
a snake charmer of some sort. He's that
good.

What about Charm has so much...charm? Could it be the lyrics? Or is it mainly the
music? I don't know. But the soft intro
lulls you into a state of calm...like weed
(according to a friend) and then thrusts
you into bursts of flavours. His lyrics are
kind of self explanatory and well, I'm a
girl. No matter what, I am still drawn to
things that bounce on my emotions.

Rather than sing Rema's lyrics all through,
I added a bit of mine. I got inspired by a
book I read. She saw him. She liked him.
She got him. He was not easy to conquer but the dark lives and breed.

I hope you like this.

Instrumental was gotten from Tubidy and tuned with the moises app
