The Urban Retro Playlist

The Song of the day is by Rihanna off her album Anti. It features Drake and was originally written by PARTYNEXTDOOR who when I heard a snippet of him singing it, I thought it really suited him. He still had additional vocals so yeah there's that. Also, the song was produced by "40". So I guess it's safe to say it was an OVO thing.
The song is obviously a story about lovers and apparently work is a slang/euphemism for sex.
Uhm for some reason the instruments in the song remind me of the ones in Eva Alordiah's Lights out, though im sure that's not where they sampled from.
As previously seen in What's My Name and Take Care (which were both No.1 on the billboard charts), Rihanna and Drake exhibited their electric chemistry in a steamy raunchy video and their vocals were also in harmony at some points. Drake guy be giving us 'In The Morning" like vibes in his verse, you know tryna put us in "dem feels" while remaining on his grind (hope you see what I did there). All in all it's a really cool song, you know gatts find me some grinds.

 In the spirit of valentine (which I have a conspiracy on, where "The Man"... You know what I'll leave that for another day) This holiday or celebration as it were is taken seriously in Nigeria and on the surface Nigerians appear to be "hard guys" but we all know most of you are soft and mushy on the inside. So I've decided to compile a playlist of some what romantic Nigerian songs in line with the celebration. Hope you enjoy! Oh Incase there anymore songs you think should be there feel free to tell me in the comment section.

The song of the day is a remake of the smash hit  Final(Baba Nla) originally by Wiz Kid, this version was produced by and performed by Damayo. 

This was actually one of my favorite songs by the Weeknd from his Kissland album, almost immediately I just developed this penchant for it. Like the vibe was so quirky and in a way sinister you know, then the continuous juxtapositions and paradoxes had me. Then they way the way it was steadily paced, progressive and had very different instruments from the one you would usually hear piqued my interest greatly.
I listened to it a lot but then I realized didn't actually understand what he was saying until much later. I guess it cause it wasn't something I relate to (see what I did there) at least not at that time. It was until I got into a conversation about it with my friend after I saw the video which actually got me confused. When we started talking he just opened my eyes with one phrase to what was happening, sadly I can't remember what it was exactly.
What really had me was when I got when he was saying he developed/caught feelings for a girl because she didn't develop/have feelings which made them the same until well he had feelings. That's some really twisted stuff. I mean it's clear for obvious that when you're in such a situation you should find a way to just leave but in his case it must have given him an exhilarating feeling some decided to go on with it.

The song of the day was one of my best songs from last year, Lean On. It was by Major Lazer his lead single from the album Peace Is The Mission (which was also a fire album). It featured French producer Dj Snake and Dainish Singer Mo.
