Korede Bello’s music credentials are still linked around ‘Godwin’, his 2015 smash hit single. But although he has had other B-List hit songs, he is still the guy who gave us ‘Godwin’.
But he is on a push to get his debut album out, and that involves bringing all the stops to get the required hit songs. He has tried with many sounds, lacking an identity and consistency with the music. ‘Romantic’ was special, ‘Mungo Park’ failed to fly, and ‘Laye’ never caught on. But he keeps working his ass off, chasing the next hit, and building a discography. All of these have led him to this moment, the one where ‘Do like that’ drops, and becomes a hit.
Altims is slowly building his resume as a reservoir of hits and beats. His work on Reekado Bank’s album is still fresh in the minds of Nigerians, and he scores another one again with this beat. Probing synths, lush drum patterns, a horn riff, and a trap syncopation sums up his masterful work on this beat.
Korede Bello brings it all to life, with measured lyrics about female movement. In the song he is head over heels over a lady interest who is obviously teasing him with her beauty and total aura. This is a club single, with catchy phrases, witty lines, and an abundance of humor.
This is Korede Bello playing to his strength, and bringing it all together on a production that’s strong enough to go pop, and become the next big hit. This is a new side of Korede Bello, the one where he gives it all in pursuit of relevance and cash rewards. His versatility has never been in question, but it is the application of it that has failed to score points every time. This time it works, and that’s why You Need To Hear This
