Commentary
It is no gainsaying that Buga is a bill/chart-topping song, as it is going to stay on our playlist for a while—a sweet jam you can spend the whole day vibing to without relapsing.
Lyrics
Speaking of the Buga Lyrics, we can say quite fairly that the chemistry of Kizz Daniel and Tekno is such a good blend, given the quality lines the artists doll out in the song.
Starting with the title, ‘Buga’ which means ‘show your pride; tell them what you’ve got,” we see how adequately it summarises the theme of the new jam.
From the Intro to Verse 1, Kizz Daniel keeps hammering on the importance of celebrating after hardwork and much more so, collecting one’s pay after service. This implies that the song is a piece of advice and, it could be said as his pennyworth to new artists in the music industry.
It seems as though it is a ‘norm’ that people have to be greeted with boldface after delivering or rendering a service. Normally, there is an agreement. One should not be chasing the other party before one receives one’s pay.
The opposite, however is usually the case. It is that moment when one should be relieving oneself from stress that one starts to chase client to redeem their part of the initial agreement.
Listen to him here:
'Mo ni ko kala
Kala gb’owo yẹn o
Kala gb’owo yẹn l’ọwọ dealer
You don work, you don try (try)
You suppose to dey j’aiye (j’aiye)'
Going on, Kizz Daniel tells the newbie to wise up and ensures he ‘collect your money’ no matter what it takes.
Though there are no new lines in Tekno’s part of Buga’s lyrics, the little introductions solidify Kizz Daniel’s claims in the previous verse that nothing is as good as landing on a soft sofa after working so hard for your money.
Rendition
Both Kizz Daniel and Tekno delivered their parts very well. Tekno especially surprises us with the effortless delivery of his lyrics, as if he was not away from his thing for a while. Add that he does it with some amount of simplicity to give Buga a pure essence.
Melody
What makes a good melody is the different dimensions or angles of approach to the song. We enjoyed this touch of artistry in Kizz Daniel’s Buga. The way he takes on the lyrics is quite tuneful.
The different sounds we hear in the Chorus is enjoyable. See Kizz Daniel adding sauce to it from different angles. Sweet!
Also, we feel the harmony of the log drum and the other instrumentals as well as the impressive tune from Tekno. A close listen to the song makes one feel the symphony of Tekno’s rhythm and Buga’s beat.
All of these combine to give us an amazing listen that will last a season!
Shortfalls
Through Kizz Daniel ‘Buga’ has received a ton of praise, we find Buga short of lyrical artistry, especially, Tekno’s verse. Notwithstanding, the lyrics justify the theme of the song perfectly.
