Thraed of 🔥 Fireboy DML 🔥 and his new album Apollo

yeah "timoti" is so good

album is very good except doubling up "peru" is so weird to actually listen to in sequence but sheeran's presence is totally fine for the first time in his career

the original peru is still pretty good tho, it’s a little awkward but i don’t really mind

this strikes me of a case of critics coming late to an artist, overhyping the post-breakthrough album and then downgrading the album that is actually much better than the album the critics overhyped to compensate for their lateness

who overhyped which album tho? don’t remember Apollo getting much traction

apollo got bnm at p4k!

compared to apollo though this one is even chiller & more streamlined, less kinda corny stadium moments

had forgotten how much good stuff there is on this album. meant to re-listen to it in full for the Naija albums poll, and then I got distracted twice over after the first few tracks, which are either not all that great or overly familiar. it only really ignites from track 6 (“Sofri”) imo. god, I forgot how fantastic “Timoti” is.

agreed on all counts. those two are amazing. def takes a minute to get into gear but this is a clear top 10 album of the year to me
