Missed Singers Dancing in The Rain?
Emotional songs inspired by botched love can be very catchy, but as “Nobody”, the new collaboration from Kwesi Arthur and Mr Eazi shows, songs wallowing in the despair of heartbreak can be just as moving. Kwesi Arthur, just teamed up with Mr. Eazi on his hit single “Nobody”, off the much anticipated ‘Live From Nkrumah Vol II Home Run’ project.
Over the laid back beat Mog Beatz produces, blending mid-tempo drum riffs, ambient synths, flute harmonies and percussion, Kwesi Arthur and Mr. Eazi reminisce about the fun times they had with their ex. Though the love has gone sour, they both swear they will never be able to love anyone else and seem unprepared to move on; “If E Be Joke Girl Tell Me Say You Just Dey Play/ I Don’t Want To Live A Day Without You/ If E Be Sey I Do Somethings, I Just Go Change”. The beat mirrors their heartwrenching vocal performance, infusing a bone-chilling flute harmony to match the breathless melody they sing with as though they are wailing.
Yaw Skyface’s directions in shooting “Nobody” shows Kwesi Arthur and Mr Eazi’s as they quarrel with their love interests at Breakfast to Breakfast. Though Kwesi Arthur seems to make up with his lover after an emotional performance in the rain, Mr Eazi has no such luck as his love moves away. The project features other top African artists like Stonebwoy, Nasty C, Shatta Wale, Santi and Sarkodie.
