In a beautiful tribute to the godfathers of Nigerian music, the exceptionally talented Mathew D has taken a bold step back to the roots with their magnificent new single, “Say No To Ritual” featuring T Mizzy & Fela Songo.
By skillfully blending the classic elements of Afrobeat sound with his own contemporary style, Mathew D has created a bridge between the past and the present, proving that the old school rhythm and wisdom are more relevant than ever. This is more than just a song; it’s a cultural statement of respect and pride.
The authenticity of “Say No To Ritual” shines through in its live-sounding instrumentation. It’s an organic, feel-good sound that stands in beautiful contrast to the heavily digital production of many modern tracks.
Over this rich musical bed, Mathew D delivers a performance filled with wisdom and charm, with lyrics that incorporate proverbs and storytelling in a way that pays respect to the lyrical traditions of their forebears.
“Say No To Ritual” is an important and timely release. It serves as a vital reminder to a younger generation of the rich musical legacy upon which the current Afrobeats movement was built.
