First rising dancehall artiste Apass reminds me of Denzel Washington’s blockbuster movie called Unstoppable. The two have something in common. And if you have a working conscience, you might have long figured that out by now. They are simply unstoppable. Apass is unstoppable. He is on a free fall, like Tom Petty sings. He is on a roll; churning out tune-after-tune and, surprisingly, leaving behind a catalogue of unrivaled tracks.
His voice is hypnotic. He reminds me of the faded Mighty Son who jumped on the scene with equal Concorde-like speed and enthusiasm like the way he vanished off. Glad, we have Apass. He is a young lad with a seemingly promising future ahead of him. Here, he merges his baritone voice with Batabazi’s Tasha who, by the way, is an eye candy. She is easy on the eye as she is in the ear as well. Amatu Maggale, whilst avoiding the corny title, is a typical dancehall track, served in pleasant patois spewed out by both parties. It is even delightful to hear the insanely sexy chanteuse Tasha pat her pretty lips and ooze out patois in crisp eloquence. She seemed charged up on the track. And Apass was at it again.
His voice, to me, is what works magic in his songs. It offers the much-needed ingredients to most of his songs. And, boy, do they come off remarkably good, they do. Amatu Maggale will rip open your eyes and smack the ear drums because, well, it is an awesome song. Something you would nod your head to, trying to avoid the patois. The instrumentation offers the comfy bed where the song ducks in solitude. Here, we are seeing a music genius in the making. And if Apass remains at it, he might as well oust the usual suspects in the game. Apass, our ears are flung open, bring on the music. Good song!
