The highly anticipated release of "Touch D Road" by Bunji Garlin in collaboration with producer Travis World has left fans with mixed feelings. Despite the high expectations based on the talents involved, the song fails to capture the magic we know Bunji Garlin can deliver. However, if we have to pick one song out of this album, we will credit Bunji in this regard, but that is nothing to 'call home about.'
"Touch D Road, all the girls dem touch D road" is repeated throughout the track. This redundancy, quite frankly, feels like a departure from the lyrical prowess we have come to expect from Bunji Garlin. It's disappointing to see such a talented artist rely on repetitive lyrics, which ultimately diminishes the song's impact.
From a production standpoint, Travis World’s contribution feels surprisingly minimalist. The music lacks the dynamic energy that could have elevated the track to a memorable level. The production feels bare and uninspired, missing the depth and complexity that often characterize great music. This is not a favorable look for Travis World, who we know is capable of much more.
We conclude that "Touch D Road" falls short. The lyrics are repetitive, and the music production lacks the richness and vibrancy we expect from both Bunji Garlin and Travis World. It's a letdown that leaves much to be desired.
