Consistency is currency and Guchi’s dues are paid in full. The Afropop Act’s latest chess move is a two-sided release, succeeding her March 2023 piece titled “Relate”.
“All Over You” is the first of the double pack: an affectionate afro-jammer produced by Shugavybz and the second- “Mon Bébé”, is a snazzy French-titled tune produced by Kaelbeatz.
We are once again lured into Guchi’s wonderful world of sizzling romance and the two tracks give details from varying perspectives. The popstar gets assertive on “All Over You”, stating in clear terms, what she expects from this intoxicating affair. She takes on the persona of a clingy ride-or-die lover, ready to go to towering lengths to secure her relationship. Lyrics like “Kokoro Ife mi Jowo, I no go let you go (Please my love bug, I will not let you go)” bear testament to Guchi’s strong will to not only be but remain in love.
Mon bébé is more flirty and wispy in its rendition. From giving her goosebumps to sweet-treat comparisons, it is without a doubt that Guchi’s Bébé has her in a sweet and tight spot. In both songs, she uses linguistic fragments to drive deeper emotional meaning.
Randomly releasing two hits at once could have Guchi-loyalists wondering what she has up her sleeves. Could this be the pathway to a deluxe version of her 2022 EP – “Purple Diary”? Or could the singer be priming us up for yet another project?
