Victony – Slick

Victony delivers Slick, a Nigerian Afrobeats record that carries the kind of effortless cool that you either have or you spend a lot of energy trying to fake and he clearly has it.

This song runs on a smooth, melodic production that sits right in that pocket where the beat and the vocal feel like they were made for each other rather than introduced in a session, and the whole record moves with a looseness that makes it easy to get into and genuinely difficult to leave once you are there. The lyrical confidence matches the sonic energy perfectly and the result is a track that does not need to announce how good it is because it just demonstrates it from the first second to the last.

Star Victony has been on an impressive upward trajectory since breaking through with Soweto, building a reputation as one of the more distinctive melodic voices to come out of the Nigerian music scene in recent years with a run of releases that have consistently shown growth rather than just more of the same. He is at the point in his career where each new record adds something to a story that is clearly still being written and Slick is another confident chapter in that ongoing body of work.

This one sits in your playlist and earns its place every single time it comes on, the kind of track that makes you wonder how something can sound this relaxed and this sharp at the same time.

Listen and Enjoy!
