YCEE AND BELLA'S LATE NIGHT VIBRATIONS EP WAS BARELY AVERAGE

Ycee scored a huge hit with Juice and whether or not 'rappers need to fix up their lives and stop singing to get popular',it was what it was; a huge hit.It made sense to make a late night EP especially when his label just signed a talented singer.Just as long as he didn't make a mess of it.

Sadly,the Late Night Vibrations EP fell short of expectations.It was a decent singer and a make shift one sounding nothing out of the ordinary over 6 tracks.I'll pay serious attention to whoever pops up with stories of how he wrote Juice.This work had me feeling Ycee can't have that much juice.

A look at the songs...

WETIN

Bella cues herself to sing deep on a light instrumental but sonority has never been a strong point of hers.Its a loose effort and though Ycee tries to save the day,he can't do much as the song revolves majorly around her.

EMPATHY

They did spark up some chemistry on Empathy.Obviously Ycee can sing when he puts in the right work and he kills the adlibs when Bella gets on the hook.However her verse yanks a huge chunk off whatever catchiness the song had going for it.

TROPICAL FRUIT JUICE

Nigerian artistes really need to understand that they are making a joint EP or album doesn't necessarily mean they must make every track together.

Bella rode the late night wave perfectly and was making magic up until Ycee crashed it.His vocals had no place here.Its a good song that could have been much better.Bella has my thumbs ups here.

ALL NIGHT

They try to switch things up to mid tempo but if anything it sounds pale the most part.Bella goes dancehall and leaves the other part sounding just awful.

BE THERE

The singing on both ends was good and it was a quite decent effort that lacked some cutting edge.Its good enough to keep you in it the whole hog but not enough to go out of your way to listen again.

TONIGHT

Ycee puts in just the right intensity and whips up a decent attempt at catchiness on the hook.Bella's verse was more what his was on Tropical Fruit Juice and her best input was the background vocals on the chorus.This should have stayed Ycee all through.
