Timaya

A review of Timaya's 'Happy' featuring Machel Montano

Timaya does Afropop with a twist and that is a uniqueness that has come to be taken to be his style. Following the course of his journey through music, one he can draw from his changing environment and ventures further into himself. It is his pattern to have his music bearing the deep imprints of his life experiences whether they be his past or his present experiences, thoughts, challenges, and hopes, and sure in a most entertaining way.

Titled ‘To U’, Timaya lyrically sets the objects of his message towards hallowed heights. It is a song of reminiscence and praise. ‘To U’ brings to mind ‘Kokoroko’, one of Timaya’s earliest musical deliveries, featuring the late Kafee, which turned out to be a musical sensation, apparently for the reason that it comfortably sits astride Afro-Pop and Gospel and strongly bearing a cultural flavor hard to go unnoticed.
