Intro: Idaham's art is sprouting wider by day, and gets very catchy and encapsulating, with stripes of uniqueness dishing every stipulated "single" with ease; which comes forth with rich blends of creativity, making the art grace the Nigerian music industry.
His art is full of depthful courage, and a thick heart of bravery, very consistent and applaudable with the art he delivers. Don't forget, we considered his art as very promising allure, and as he continually keeps sticking to it, and exuding an art of unique style, and showcasing his music with sweet flavoring rhythm, afrocentric melody with an eclectic sweet fusion, we got inspired to glance at him again.
Less we get it twisted, part of our goals is to x-ray the African art, via the Naija concept, through the eyes of PH City music, com south south art, hence, this review: Lagos is great but...PH is not the least among her " brethren", we got acts.
Idahams, continually shines forth his art with an endless flame of sonic delivery in such an alluring and adorable manner. This time, he designs a seven track extended play to showcase his dexterity in full measure, which was accompanied with the unique mark he bears, describing himself as: "Man On Fire". An absolute construct, which tend to showcase his basket of rich creativity, lovely and acceptable. Idahams, is promising and this extended play has a lot to proof.

The act abruptly infused into us, a believe and deepened exercise for more of his vibes. At first he dished "Shima" and "Enter My Eye", which seized the moment to much expectation, while he prepared to usher us into something bigger, meanwhile his "Shima and Enter My Eye" took over airplays, streams and television stations and Youtube views, immediately'
Disection Point/Sonic Essence:
The seven track extended play: Man On Fire, was fashioned very nicely, blotting out a very golden experience, that continually rolls from the beginning to the end of the plays. Each play featured several adept record producers and great record mixers and sonic masterers. By: TU2, Orbeat, Ayzed, Yussy Beat, Gem, and MarGai Mixx... Notice how each tunes continually plants Idahams art, on the spot, as new African popstar, with the sauce, deliverers on every track, which comes resonating, genuine, and beautiful to listen.
"Ada" came as a vibe opener in the extended play, the African popstar: Idahams, began the intro of the play smoothly, swaying very lovely from the 'Ada' angle. Ada's a refined Afro poppy sound which releases a streak activity, and leaves set listeners to dancing, drifting one's body, focused properly to the African shaku dance. Ada, is a beautiful and lovely rendition of the African woman, which leaves something unforgettable in your head; about loving and fun.
"Blessings" came on differently on the second spot, while waiting to receive something more poppy, like 'Ada'. Idahams preplanned a collaboration with Orbeat and MarGai Mixx, to introduce a smooth groovy spec of Reggae and afropop fusion to dish difference and golden excellence pon the play. Blessings, is his thanks to Jah, for the blessings of his life...which we all are partakers.
Although, when the sound came up, I was glad and expected something like the Jamaican putua lingua to flow directly through. Not a bad collection at all, beautiful, and tells more about his diversity and dexterity. Such a great fusion is a remarkable finish.
"Local Girl" The third thrust from the play, which signed out like: it was going back to whole African thing. The Afrobeat instrumentation, and the R&B fusion on this spot, was proper serving the track in a beautiful shape, and even sweeter form. Produced by: Ayzed, Mixed and mastered by MarGai Mixx.
Local girl was not on the wrong spot though, but Imagine if it where to be on the spot of Ogene Doh, think about it. After the blessings part, Ogene Doh comes in and makes the whole spiritual connect more appetizing before leading us to the local girl thing you know...what do we say, "the spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet"-that shows a master doing his thing, the way he thinks best.
'Local girl' is'nt badly at all, it shows genuity from the act: describing a woman who everyone considered as local woman, but has been fixing things up in his life. The track is beautiful!
"Ogene Doh" The fourth track, showing gratitude and praise to the Almighty God. Ogene Doh, Doh, Doh, Oh Oh Oh... stamping his feet on the African poppy pace, which was Produced by Orbeat, Mixed and mastered by MarGai Mixx.
A very beautiful piece, that shows his Godly concern and repute, rendering service to God in praise. Idahams shared part of his story briefly, and very passionately on this spot giving his thanks and endless gratitude to Baba God, who saved him from being a militant in Bonny and steady hustle to make money. Beautiful, bold narration designed with the art he churned, to restore hope and faith in the young dreamer.
"Man On Fire" The track and its position on the extended play, was perfect. A spot that came, introducing the man on fire, fixing the listeners mind to receive more tasty, and groovy tracks, after the faithful filling of Oghene Doh, and rendering a sober and thankful heart to the almighty creator.
And then, Idahams did a deliberate touch on the song, that kept our minds sway to an enveloping goodness, which regenerates the 'live' vibe streak in Ada. Possessing the character of keeping any true listener wagging his head endless, as the track is up. "Man On Fire" was Produced by Yussy Beat, Mixed and mastered by Gem.
Man On Fire, come forth on a bright shines, and practically exposing the acts prowess and his tune core ability, from his special designated tones and art of touch: showing perfection and firm stan, as an African popstar. Man on fire, was an expository: that describes fake lovers, critics and people who attack ones privacy without caution. Idahams, most have experienced certain things in his life, with people, so he sang: "drink water and mind your business, use that energy for your self"
"Enter My Eye" was Another track that came through, positioning Idahams art, firmly as an African popstar. This track endlessly showcased his prowess visibly, and thickened his every jumps on the beat, serving it very hot, unique and excellent. "your love don enter my eye, your love don enter eye, if na lie, I dey lie, make water carry me go"
Idahams, went chorusing passionately, with thick zeal expressing the love bug that has sting, and entered his life. "Enter My Eye", came like the conclusion of the track was close and then we kept waiting for something else, lets hear.. what's next?
Although, he singed deeply, sketching perfection stripes, going very endless and magical, while the extended play was drawing curtain closer.. Produced by Yussy Beat, Mixed and mastered by MarGai Mixx.
"Shima" represented the last art on the extended play, while "Enter My Eye" started drawing the curtain to end the play, "Shima" came softly, with an extreme beauty, fashioning the end of the play and leaves a memory about the play still..
The production on this spot was thick quite and adept, fixing Idahams foot firmly as an African popstar. Shima, describes love, it also come describing our masculine, soft feelings, not want to get our hearts broken, clarifying the wrong impression ladies often portray about the man's heart. He continually nicknames her his Shima, and the love continues to glow hopefully, while ending the extended play.
It was a nice time, a spot were Idahams, continue to mutter his talents and dexterity, bringing us each into the picture as though we all wrote the songs, which of course we did, cos its the story of our lives. A proof of beautiful, coupling thanks to God, loving women and fakers in the play. At the same time declaring himself: "Man On Fire", very exquisite construct,
Intelligent.
For real I feel on fire....I guess u will after listening to this extended play,
...THANX 2 IDAHAMS
