MUSIC
MARY, DID YOU KNOW
Pentatonax
This Acapella is the number one Acapella on Billboard’s hottest 100 and for a debutant at number 27, this is an awesome work of art. And like earlier “Mary, Did you know” songs by Ceelo Green, Katty Mattea, Clay Aiken and Kenny Rogers, it is a great song that did not miss a spot on the billboard. The song is off Pantatonix’s Christmas album which dropped in October 2014, “That’s Christmas to Me”. Don’t ask me what I think about the song, because for me, “Mary, did you know” is Christmas to me.
On a Scale of 0 – 10, this song is a 7.5.
ONYE (Eji Kolo)
Joe El
Having been in the news most times not for the good music this Kennis music star’s been dropping, but by being said to be a 2face sound alike, people might as usual want to dismiss this new work, but one thing is a fact and that is, this young dude’s ability to make good music. Sound or look like 2face might have a little element of truth, but it takes a good artist to make music that sounds like that of a good artist. Am I beginning to sound like a broken record? With a music video shot in South Africa by godfather productions, Joe appears to not be deterred by the criticisms.
On a Scale of 0 -10, this Song is a 5.4.
