简介

The title of his maiden album is very suggestive: Executive Gangsters. But a pleasant surprise yet awaits the listener. Although the artiste is very critical in the song and a few others in the album, he does so with so much creativity that even the ‘accused’ will enjoy the flow. It is such creative pomp that defines the music of Olatunde Obajeun, who, despite being around for years, has just stepped out with the new album. Roving between afro, jazz and blues, Obajeun, who is also, folk a music and video producer, explores different subjects that include politics, love and care for the oppressed. In tracks such as Executive Gangsters and Busy President, he waxes political and throws jabs at those he believes are misruling. In Morenitimofe and Mobolanle, however, the artiste becomes one hungry lover on the trail of the hearts of some tender birds. The interplay of English and Yoruba chants in Morenitimofe – and some other songs in the album – also makes the music interesting. But if music is a vehicle for invoking emotions, it is in Talona iya Sade that Obajeun strikes the loudest chord. Here, he makes a case for a widow who faces further assaults from people who are supposed to show her the kindness. “Mama Sade is a very deep song,” Obajeun notes. “It’s actually a true life story of injustice. So, I relate it with what is happening in my country today. You will agree with me that there is too much oppression, lies greed and hatred going on – even around the world.”
