My Christmas Day Was Almost Ruined By Wizkid ------- Etcetera Writes (must read)

Etcetera Is not holding back on randomly picking a celeb and criticizing their work , well this time the singer turn blogger/critic goes for Wizkid and this view is pivoted on the whackness of his popular hit single "In my Bed" , see what Etcetera had to say below
 

***Six weeks ago, I was in Benin City to support a friend who was getting married that weekend. We drove down to Ugbowo campus of UNIBEN, laughing along the way at bini guys and the way they pronounce certain words. We got stuck in an unusual traffic jam and my friend who was driving, took the opportunity to reply his pings, pausing only to turn up the radio when Wizkid's "In My Bed" came on. A few seconds later, he increased the volume even more. I accepted that since I was in his car, I had to endure his choice of songs. So I listened, trying to figure out why he was interested in that particular song.

The overall instrumentation is noisy with the kick pitched high, like a headache. Played on F-sharp minor, which is a predominantly high key for most people, but the struggling syncopation over a lazy bass line weighs the whole song relentlessly down. My friends know that I have a crazy physical reaction to songs, mostly when I love it. In this instance, I was gasping for breath by the end, as if the song was trying to strangle me. I thanked God I was still alive when it finally ended. But as the traffic lingered my friend put down his phone, this time to surf through radio stations. Again, he landed on "In My Bed." That was when I really got scared, thinking I was going to pass out.

Those who will say "WTF" is Etcetera saying? I want you to note that I have a zero interest in persuading you to agree with me. If you enjoy "In My Bed," I won't dream of changing your mind. I heard it again last weekend at my manager's party, and for a second, I thought it was some kind of pain killer advert, because the radio station where I have my show, currently runs an ad that sounds like a more palatable version of it.

My Christmas day was almost ruined when a caller on my show requested "In My Bed" for his girlfriend. Because Christmas only comes once in a year, I decided to grant her wish, but as soon as I clicked play, I had the sort of physical reaction associated with someone suddenly coming i
