We have another release from the album Canboulay Riddim to share with you—"Islands in the Sky" by the talented Olatunji, produced by the remarkable Smiddy Smith. Olatunji Yearwood continues to showcase the vibrant energy and unique style of the Canboulay Riddim in this song.
While those who are fans of this Riddim's vibe will likely appreciate this track, we have mixed feelings. Olatunji delivers a credible and engaging performance, yet we feel that the lyrics don't quite match the vibe of the riddim as seamlessly as we had hoped. Despite this, we still appreciate Olatunji's contribution and the high-quality production by Smiddy Smith.
If you're a fan of Olatunji and the Canboulay Riddim, "Islands in the Sky" is definitely worth a listen. We have always said that music is about feelings, and you may feel differently and disagree with our take. There is no right or wrong feeling, only what resonates with you! Please let us know what you think about the song by sharing your opinions with us—does this track resonate with you?
