<p><strong>Oxlade returns with Eclipse, a four-track diary of cheesy love songs that we love. His mood varies; sometimes dreamy like Joeboy who wants ‘<em>More’</em> of a love that <em>‘Pays Me.’</em> But other times, he’s scared of ‘<em>Ojuju,’</em> and runs away from love. This is just the everyday reality of a successful Nigerian man in his early 20s.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>The music is honest and relatable. It also splits loyalty and appeal. Records like ‘<em>More</em>,’ ‘<em>Incomplete</em>’ and<em> ‘Pay Me</em>’ will attract women en masse while records like ‘<em>Ojuju’</em> will appeal to men, who are getting more accustomed to admitting heartbreak and hurt. In particular <em>‘Pay Me’ </em>could be a great wedding record, if channeled properly.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With <strong>DJ Coublon </strong>back chopping - word to <strong>Pusha T - </strong>with some ludicrous blend of beautiful percussive sessions, creative use of bass and infectious melodies, Oxlade excels as he finds pockets like a rapper. </p>

<p>His standout moments are fleeting and priceless; the adlibs that open and close <em>‘Incomplete,’ </em>the adlibs that open ‘<em>More</em>’ and more.</p>

<p>This time, it’s not just about his sultry vocals. Oxlade delivers with the competitive grit he has whenever he is a featured act on another person’s song. With Coublon back chopping, the similarities between Oxlade’s adlib-filled music shares distant similarities with Kizz Daniel’s.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Lines like “<em>Na you be the Apple of my eye, no be iPhone…</em>” are very Kizz Daniel-esque. However, Oxlade’s use of his vocals - as both a backup and for layered melodies, his lyrical cohesion and less vibes reduces those similarities.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There’s then the call and response brand of music, which he employed for certain parts of his verses on <em>‘Ojuju</em>,’ his lead single - also the weakest song on<em> ‘Eclipse EP.’</em></p>

<p>This EP is better than <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/oxlade-oxygene-ep-ep-review/ndj933x"><strong>Oxygene.</strong></a> Sadly, it’s just four tracks long.</p>

<p><strong>Pulse Rating: /10</strong></p>

<p>Enjoyability and Satisfaction: 1.3/2</p>
