Adryanne’s “Tic Tac Toe” and “Friday night” are bop!
On Tic Tac Toe, Adryanne establishes his love for a lady but she plays games with him so much that he doesn’t know what exactly she wants.
This is very relatable because women do play hard to get some times and it becomes hard for a man to understand what the games are exactly.
In other times, they pull closer and try to establish that they are in love with a guy and then suddenly, they begin to distance themselves and the man begins to wonder what is going on.
In this case, singer Adryanne posits that he is in this same uncomfortable position.
Friday Night is a very sizzling love song that compensates listeners on their decision to fall in love and establish that being in love with a lady can help you get it right in your life, and this is exactly what Adryanne’s Friday Night does!
This song is a bop! And it is an amazing listen; especially the parts where Adryanne talks on the song.

In the lyrics of On God by Shatta Wale, Shatta Wale establishes his position in the music industry by saying he is different and he doesn’t care what people say about him.
The lyrics of On God by Shatta Wale are appropriate for the song and makes us examine what happened to Shatta Wale in the music industry.
It is through the lyrics of On God by Shatta Wale that we deduce that On God is actually a response to what Shatta Wale has gone through in the music industry and he is saying everything he went through with the lyrics of on God.
His realism makes us listen to every part of the lyrics of On God without holding back. He dishes it all out.
It is majorly the lyrics of On God by Shatta Wale that we understand the song and find it interesting.
Relatability
Shatta Wale’s On God is relatable in the sense that we face things in life among our colleagues and we tell ourselves that since man is not God.
We will keep on riding because man is incapable of doing the things that God can do.
So, Shatta Wale establishes with On God that others have no power over him. He says:
You no go fit show me nothing
He says he knows that they can’t do anything to him and this is relatable to any African person because we are rest assured that God truly has the final say.
Delivery
We have to say that Shatta Wale’s delivery on On God makes the song land.
The lyrics of Shatta Wale’s On God are okay, but the delivery exalts the lyrics and makes it easy for us to listen to the song till it ends.
It may be that Shatta Wale’s delivery on On God is because On God is a persona song (as this can be deciphered through the lyrics of On God)
Mixing and Production
The mixing and Production for Shatta Wale’s On God suits the song by allowing Shatta’s voice to rise above the mix and the beats to play as quietly and softly as they should
Replay Value
Shatta Wale
Shatta Wale’s On God has a fair amount of replay value because it is lyrically embedded and it allows for relatability because we find On God relatable.
It is someone dishing out his emotions to show that he doesn’t care about what others have done to him or what they think about him.
Also, Shatta Wale’s On God is a diss song.
It is a response to what people have said about him or what they have done to him. He keeps repeating the word “F***” to show that he doesn’t care.
The Best Stage Performers in the Nigerian Music Industry 2022 {Ranked}
Stage Performance in Nigeria has to be the most underemphasized art in the music industry. All fans are really concerned with is the number of streams their favorite artists are racking up on streaming platforms.
While this is actually very good, it doesn’t subtract that music listeners should have the best experience possible while watching their favorite singers on stage.
Stage Performance has no definite definition; but it is definitely not jumping up repeatedly on the stage and putting one’s hands in the air.
Sorry, if your favorite artists have been doing that, it’s not stage performance, it’s “energy performance”
Stage Performance has to do with the engaging dance styles and creative (most times, appealing) movements of singers on stage.
Here is a list of the Best Stage/Live performers in Nigeria (Ranked)
The Best Stage Performers in Nigeria 2022
6) Asake
Asake/ Glitch Sessions
Outstanding Performances: Sunga Remix performance with Burna Boy, Glitch Sessions (Baba God Live Performance)
Asake’s sound may seem distinct from others in the music industry, it only exalts his uniqueness and reduces his replaceability.
Asake has not been in the music industry for up to a year and he is already making his mark.
Asake has not entirely displayed any spectacular performance so far with his stage performances. But his energy is infectious.
I mean, this guy brings a cup of alcohol to the stage.
It only shows how much he is so relaxed and he brings his fans into that world of relaxation.
Sometimes. Asake attempts to moonwalk (with that afrobeats style) on stage, and this is really impressive.
His recent performance of “Baba God” at Glitch Sessions is simply breathtaking.
His vocals in that performance are top notch and he delivered the song with such passion and truth in his voice.
Asake is someone that sings “Feel Good” music; especially when you listen to “Omo Ope ” and “Sungba ”. His genre of music highly helps his performances because the audience feels thrilled already before he even mounts the stage.
This is why Asake is making the 2022 list of our Best Stage Performers in Nigeria .
5) Niniola
Niniola/Human Heart Radio
Outstanding Performances: Summer Vibes Concert 2017, Guiness Bright House Party, The Human Radio Concert
Niniola’s stage performances are always marked by amazing dance moves and audience engagement.
She has established herself as a stage performer by pulling off common dance steps while sticking to simple choreography with her dancers.
Sometimes, she goes into the audience space to engage them and allow them to touch her.
Most times, while performing on stage, Niniola loves wearing a suit that doubles as a dress.
Her dancers are usually dressed in colorful dresses and she allows them to do the choreography most of the time while she focuses on singing.
Niniola’s stage performance is characterized by appealing dance moves.
The truth is, you can never be bored at a Niniola Concert.
This is why Niniola is No 5 on the list of our Best Stage Performers in Nigeria
Outstanding Performances:Gidi Fest 2018, UDUX, Brymo Live
It’s good to have fans who are dedicated to you and your sound.
Brymo has this, and he is set for the rest of his music career.
But this is not what makes his stage performances good. If anything, Brymo’s amazing vocals live on stage should be studied.
He maintains an astounding vocal strength and fluidity on stage which makes his songs sound as if they were actually getting mixed and produced right there on the stage.
Brymo’s Stage Performances are characterized by an amount of dramatic reactions to his own songs.
This makes his songs come alive on stage.
Also, the beats and trumpets that accompany Brymo’s songs makes his live performances authentic. Brymo’s sound is one that must almost always be accompanied with drums and trumpets.
The symphony of all these makes Brymo’s stage performances one to always look out for.
This is why Brymo is No 4 of our list of the Best Stage Performers in Nigeria
Not a fallacy, but if you are in the Kuti family and you sing, there must have been a stage performance gene passed to you.
Fela Kuti was one of the most “notorious” singers and stage performers in his days, and now, his sons and grandsons are carrying on with this legacy.
Their stage performances are always marked by scintillating dance moves and their fluid song lyrics.
Although they sometimes focus on their vocal performance while singing, the energy and raw beauty of their performance serve the audience more than anyone can imagine.
The KUTIs are amazing stage performers, and that is why they are making our list of the best stage performers in Nigeria
2) Burna Boy
Burna Boy/Live
Outstanding Performances: Burna Boy at Madison Square Garden, Burna Boy Live at London 02, Burna Boy Live in Paris
The truth is, Burna Boy is not the best dancer, but the efforts he puts in his stage performances shows that he tries to go the extra mile to astound the audience.
His performance at the Madison Square Garden was not breathtaking, but it was awesome.
Being the first Nigerian to headline Madison Square Garden in New York is a big deal, and the fact that he did that amazingly is commendable.
There was even an instance where he had to catch a lady’s bra that was thrown on him on stage. The way he handled that was good.
Burna Boy’s stage management is also noteworthy. It’s not easy performing on big stages and having a hundred-thousand people looking at you.
For stage management, Burna Boy is making our list of the Best Stage Performers Nigeria
1) Yemi Alade
Yemi Alade/Afronation
Outstanding Performances: Afronation 2022 Puerto Rico, AFRIMMA 2018, Global Citizen 2020

This position is not up for discussion.
So far, Yemi Alade has been the only artist that actually gives the audience a spectacular performance.
It is not only enough that her YouTube videos are creative, her stage performances are crazy.

Recently, at the 2022 Afro Nation festival first leg in Puerto Rico, the audience went haywire when she delivered crazy dance moves and made them sing her song lyrics energetically.
Yemi Alade has performed in more countries than most African Female Artists have.
There are video performances of her performing in Helsinki for crying out loud.
Recently, The Royal family invited her personally to perform at the earth shot prize awards ceremony alongside Ed Sheeran.
It is therefore not surprising that Yemi Alade gets booked all the time for shows.
