Not everybody is actually skilled at reviewing songs. Certainly, unskilled ones will find it difficult to review this kind of song and an artiste like Mr.P, because they have been blindfolded with intense sentiment. “Oh, he left his twin brother. Oh, he can’t make it. Oh, he is just a dancer. Oh, for their head (na for their head im dey, wetin no concern them; drinking panadol for another person’s headache)” So they end up not reviewing the song justly rather they say thrash when they are reviewing his songs. Some have not even played the song o, but they have joined the rubbish talkers in their rubbish talk.
Why? Simply because Mr.P isn’t with his twin brother again. Bullshit! Michael Jackson, Beyonce and so many others all left their group and were not condemned; it is only in Nigeria an artiste decides to go solo, and they are quick to throw arrows (the arrows plenty eh) at the person. So, the question I ask such people is, if Dangote was under someone or his uncle forever, would he have achieved what he has today and the fame. Beyoncé is obviously more blessed now than when she was with Destiny’s child.
In essence, don’t let sentiment cover your sense of reasoning and make you biased. Mr..P is a solo artiste now likewise his twin brother- King Rudy, forget that he was part of a group; they can always do something together or make up later in the future, but for now, Mr. P is a solo artiste. So, this is the song I picked from my catalogue of songs; ‘For my Head’ by Mr.P. For those that may want to spit out after the review, you are free to do that or you may as well swallow it back; my review is not based on sentiments. Free your mind and view the song first here….

THE REVIEW
The music “For My Head” by Mr.P talks about the length at which Mr.P can go to satisfy the woman he loves which he emphasized in the “Chorus”. In essence, the girl should name her price or all she wants; everything will be on his head no matter how costly they are.
So, the first time I watched the video, what captured my attention was the terrific colour palette(no colour confusion. The background was awesome and it synced with the costumes of the dancers which all made the video interesting to watch; lively. Great lighting I must also say there, which is what some video directors lack as well. I couldn’t just get my eyes off the dance steps which flowed well with the beatz…. This song, even though has a lot of dance steps is more of a sing-along tune; the beat may not be the kind that would ginger fans to get up on their feet and dance.
This is a beautiful song with a very beautiful video, though the verses are sleepy. It is not the usual fast beat you hear all the time; this is RnB. So, I heard some people said, the video doesn’t tally with the lyrics of the song and that there is no girl he specifically showed that he will die for. Such people need to wash their faces, clean their eyes and then use an eye drop before re-watching the video, because Mr.P actually approached a lady and sang to her..
Just thinking
• I think we have had enough of “chop banana”, it is a cliché. It was totally unnecessary in the song. Can there be other words? I can assure you that a primary school child can decipher that when two adults make use of ‘banana’ in their conversation.
• Nice chorus but Sleepy verses- verse 2 is a proof
• So, I wonder what more people want from Mr. P in his solo career? Wait, were they expecting him to have a ‘Celine Dion’ voice or what? That doesn’t guarantee one being a successful musician, you can ask….
