Ngozi (feat. Ayra Starr)
Crayon
The Euphoric Ode of Love in 'Ngozi'
Crayon's 'Ngozi,' featuring Ayra Starr, is a vibrant and affectionate tribute to a transformative love. The song's title, 'Ngozi,' is an Igbo word meaning 'blessing,' which sets the tone for the artist's expression of gratitude and amazement at the love he has found. The lyrics convey a sense of being overwhelmed by the intensity of his feelings, as the love he experiences changes his outlook and lifts the pressures of life.
The song's verses and chorus blend English with Pidgin and Igbo, creating a rich linguistic tapestry that reflects the cultural diversity of Nigeria. Crayon sings about the transformative power of love, which has altered his persona and brought revelations. The mention of 'private lounging in Paris' and 'expensive room service' suggests a luxurious escape with his beloved, emphasizing the depth of his commitment and the extent to which he is willing to go to show his love.
The repeated lines 'E dey do me wa wa o o' and 'No killy my kitana' use Pidgin to express the overwhelming and almost disorienting effect love has on him. The imagery of 'scatter my internal' and 'hypertension idi nla nla' metaphorically describes the physical and emotional impact of his feelings. The song is a celebration of love's power to uplift and provide a sense of belonging, as Crayon declares this love as the reason to believe in true love.
