If everything goes as planned, this time next week we will have Naira Marley’s album.
The album, called “God’s Timing’s The Best” will be Naira Marley’s debut album and his first project since 2019’s “Lord of Lamba” EP.
Well, fingers are crossed as to what the Marlian boss is bringing for us, but whatever it is, this is Naira Marley’s one chance to prove himself. Not that he needs to do a lot of proving anyway. Just that lately he’s been slipping up.
While setting our hopes for the release, here’s four things I think we can reasonably expect from “God’s Timing’s The Best.”
- Not Much Rap
Naira Marley hasn’t really done a lot of rap recently. He’s been on his usual sing-rap vibe that he’s been doing for years now. Nothing hardcore.
So it’s probably reasonable to not expect that he goes beast mode on this one. The tracklist also suggests he’ll be doing a lot of singing this time too. Especially with the inclusion of his already released tracks like the recent collabo with Zinoleesky, “Odun.”
- Amapiano As Usual
One thing the Marlians would never get tired of is the amapiano sound. Whether it’s Naira Marley or Mohbad or Zino, it’s always going to be an amapiano fest.
There’s already “Kojosese,” “Coming,” “Odun,” and “First Time in America.” Well, best believe there’s going to be a lot of amapiano sounds on the album for sure.
- Few Hits
I honestly don’t think that Naira Marley has it in him anymore. If there are going to be any hits, besides the ones he already has, it’s going to be few. Maybe one or two at the most.
This ain’t 2019. In 2019, Naira Marley could drop an EP and all the tracks will be hits from “Mafo” to “Tingasa.” But again, this ain’t 2019. He doesn’t have that pull anymore. So don’t expect him to be topping charts or anything.
- Won’t Be Album Of The Year
For over a year, I have waited to see if Naira Marley would change, or at least evolve. But no, all he’s done is just more of the same things he’s always done.
I won’t be surprised if it doesn’t get any Album of the Year nod at all. I guess it’s just as well. Naira Marley isn’t really that guy that needs all of that validation.
What do you think the album’s gonna be, anyway.
Do You Think Naira Marley’s Album Will Bang Or It Will Just Be Average?
