ICE PRINCE FT. KOREDE BELLO - CHIKE (CRITIQUE)

Ice prince Chocolate City's signed rapper posted the photo art of the song 'chike' on instagram recently.
It is a duet done with Mavin record's artist Korede Bello, the artist behind the popular anthem “God win". The photo art is so catchy that no one would hesitate to google the song and download it immediately, that's obviously the power of a good photo art.
The genre of the song is really not placeable but its a kind of gyration jam with all the necessary components like the percussions that are always affiliated with kergite gyration in campuses, although I kinda strained my ears to
Hear the bottle sound but it was nowhere to be found in the mix, however, the wooden gong sound augmented for that. Other sounds includes synths the bass guitar.
In terms of composition, it sounds more like a freestyle on a sample beat than a written song.
In the mixing aspect, I think the autotune/vocoder effect was a little bit higher than it should be, which made the vocals (specifically Korede's) sound a little bit robotic, which is in contrast with how a gyration mix should actually sound (Natural).
The moods of the arts portrayed by the way they sounded showed that they were very happy and excited and had a good time doing the song together, as the song is all about how they became rich and famous through music.

  1. Brilliant critique. Gives insight into what audience should expect from Ice Prince and Korede's new release. The language register is purely from a professional music producer. Well done Davekeys.
