Album Review: Klitoris By Brymo by Cieno: 12:38pm On Jun 27, 2016
When Former Chocolate City Singer and that guy everybody admits is good released the name and official album art to his new album, he definitely got a lot of people talking. Its offensive many agreed, who calls the name of their Album Klitoris? The album art which was designed in the USA shows a half nude woman with the skull of an animal over her face, flower petals covering her breast with her arm akimbo. Brymo revealed the petals had to be put later in Lagos after ITunes rejected the original on the basis that the Art was pornography. “It is art, some might find it to be creepy, but it is just art” he added. He also revealed the concept behind the 11 track album which features his girlfriend and baby mama Esse on the first song, Naked. He revealed it was meant to be sensual as everybody had predicted, but there ought to be two sides to a coin. So what’s the other side to this? He said the word Klitoris(clitoris) is a Greek word for Key and the album is supposed to be the key to a particular door he has knocked on for years.

On listening to the album, we finally admit the album was definitely meant to be sensual. Brymo delivered sensual pleasure to our ears with a mixture of Yoruba, pidgin English and English. The album was a love story

In Naked Brymo went deep into his soul and when he closed the song with your ‘’…love I don’t deserve it/ take all I have please/ love me/leave me naked,’’ you have no doubt what he is craving for.

He continued the love story in Ko saya mi and albeit it is in Yoruba, anybody regardless of their race and language they speak would feel the love in his voice

Happy memories still riffs on love as he reminisces on happy moments shrouded in love.
Alajo Shomolu sounded like something the legendary Fela Anikulapo-Kuti would do, from the beat to the lyrics and the message it reeked of class. I dey sing e song o,/e dey sweet like sugar/oya dance roll your waist/I go from grace to grass/ back to grass to grace/ life na roller ahhh…

In Mirage Brymo waxes philosophical as he reflects on life.

On the highway of life, I see reflections from a distance/see them walking on water/ the closer I get the faster it fades away.

Still musing on his life, he talks about why he sings in Billion Naira Dream, and while this song sounds somewhat different from the usual Brymo sound, he didn’t fail to pass his message across.

I am telling stories/in the song I sing/ searching for glory in the life I live/ to help me feel the future that I see/ to make come true a billion naira dream.

But what is love and life and poetry without reality? This singer has never shied away from the politics of Nigeria. He is known to be quite vocal about issues and in Dem dey go, he proffers a maybe solution to Nigeria.

He starts off with a story ‘Once upon a time/some people come together’ before going on explain how these people took a chance, made a pact but then started fighting.
‘they plan took a chance/made agreement between one another/dem dey go/ dem they fight, dem dey quarrel/dem dey go.

Our story teller then gives them a solution, if you can’t stay together, everyone should go their separate ways.

‘I tell them if dem no want stay make dem go their separate ways.’

It’s amazing how Brymo could deviate from the usual Nigerian music that lacks content and still deliver an Album everybody would love. The album is definitely a 9/10 only because Naeto C has taken the 10/10 tag.
