Koredo Bello Bring A New Phrase To His Artistry by NTStrings(m): 12:12pm On Jul 29, 2020
Korede Bello was the Nigerian Pop king of 2015, his record "Godwin" appealed to a cross-section of the society, it was so big that a Pentecostal church invited him for a performance during one of their service.

Two years after the success of Godwin, Korede Bello dropped his debut album Bellover.
The album received a mixed review from music critics who felt he could have made it an EP.
While this was going on, Korede Bello was a student at Nigeria Institute of Journalism studying for his Ordinary National Diploma and Higher National Diploma in succession.

His education never stopped the music release but Korede Bello kept battling with the Godwin syndrome, there were bars set for him by the fans, only a few artistes replicate a hit of such magnitude, Korede Bello was not on such list.
Not even his "Bless me or Mr Vendor" could wake the fans from sleeping on the music star.

When he released "Sun Momi" and “Mi Casa Su Casa" a Spanish word for "what’s mine is yours", a lot of fans felt he has returned to music, the truth is that Korede Bello never left but just that the fans failed to outgrow the Godwin phase of his career.

Korede Bello has always been the lady-man, cute, shy smiles, and curly hair makes the girl drown in his "crushing Ocean" this has been on the increase since he rebranded in the first quarter of the year with his blonde hair, dangling earring, not forgetting the smile.

He capped this up with the release of his sophomore project which he aptly titled " Table for Two", a five track project with production assistance from Rexxie, Princeton, Ozedikus, Johnny Drillle, and others.

The project began with Morire, a semi-gospel tune, heavily helped by Saxophone and guitar. A good reminder of the Korede Bello of Godwin. Churches might be tempted to jump on this song. Rexxie showed his production versatility on this tune, this is not the regular, you might need to watch enough Yoruba movies to really understand what he did in the middle of the beat. The lyrics are depressing no matter how the song is sugar-coated, the side talk and acerbic comments post-Godwin has been getting to him but he vowed to move on.

Sun Momi is a mellow ballad by a love and attention-starved man which Korede Bello personified. While he assured the supposed lover of his love, he doesn't want her far away from him. The love is from Tokyo. E go last gan.
With a Femi Leye's guitar string, and some violin, here is Hey Baybe, an anagram of Baby, mellow, tone down. I recommend this song for a cold night under the duvet. The backup singers brought a choir-like vibe to the minimal percussion song.

There were some Igbo words inclusion. Hey Baybe ended with a hi-life vibe
Mi Casa Su Casa thrives on guitar and drums. Korede Bello used a lot of sexual innuendos on this song. While he begs for the three-letter word, he was quick to mesmerize the supposed how he would treat her. Assurance cover omo yen.
The eponymous "Table For Two" ended the project, it continued the Mi Casa Su Casa storyline of assurance, love, care, and support. Korede Bello might be pardoned for the none cohesiveness of his second verse, they can take solace in the first verse and hook.

Table for two is a matured Korede Bello at work, a departure from the Godwin era, he has undergone some artistic development, they are all splashed on this project.
