Flavour, the musician who started his career as a drummer for a local church released his first Album
N’abania in 2005. In 2010, he released his second studio album uplifted. It was supported by the singles
"Nwa Baby (Ashawo Reemix), "Adamma", and "Oyi Remix". The album's success made him one of
Africa's most sought out artists. Flavour was booked to perform at numerous concerts and social events
following Uplifted’s release. ‘Ijele the Traveler’, the singer’s fifth full-length record, does not stray from
all of his other projects.

. I must commend the creative ways flavor adores and praises his ladies. Flavour has added more female
names (Nneka and Comfort)to his list. the litany of

Why did Flavour mention Rihanna so often in this Album? Just a random thought going through my
cerebrum. Got an answer?

Album Review – Ijele - The Traveler

A combination of Igbo traditional music, romance and highlife.

A quick glance at “Ijele – The Traveler” Album Cover shows a man running in a bid to escape danger or
survive, but a detailed view of the same photo depicts a man dancing wildly. According to Flavour, Ijele -
The Traveler is a deeper concept than physical movement. It is spiritual, soulful and natural. The album’s
title was culled from Igbo masquerade culture, where the Ijele is recognised as the largest and most
ceremonial of them all.

“Ijele the Traveler”, is a combination of Igbo traditional music, romance and highlife. The Lead single
“Virtuous woman” is unremarkable, but remake of earlier hits ‘Golibe’ and ‘Ada ada’; a ballad where he
describes and praises his ideal woman, with gratitude to God that he found her. “Chimamanda” and
“Most High” were solely to acknowledge and show gratitude to God.

“Ijele” attempted to recapture the good old Igbo song that resounds in the air during wrestling and “Otu
Ogbo” (Igbo young men) activities with a flawless delivery by Zoro. “Oringo”, advocates for people to be
happy, have fun and enjoy their lives and a Mike Ejeagha inspired line –“Kedu ife m mere eji akpuru m n’
onu?”. In “Oppressor”, Flavour reaches out to the oppressors and a few messages to runs girls,
unappreciative husbands, rough drivers, and embezzlers.

“Baby Na Yoka”, a Jamaican inspired and dance hall vibe stole elements from one of Flavour’s hit singles
“Baby Oku”. I recommend this single to afro beat fans overseas. “Catch you”, “Jaiye”, “Ukwu Nwata”,
“Body Calling” and “Simba” clearly depict Flavour’s erotic and funny choice of words especially in Igbo
for describing the feminine features and his escapades with them.

In “Sake of Love”, the Singer describes what he would do for love’s sake with hyperbole; “Just to prove
my love, I will cry you a river”. If it is getting hard to woe her, I recommend to deploy the lyrics of “Loose
Guard”. “Nnekata” would come handy while proposing to her.

If at any point, Ijele –The Traveler plays like a record made in a hurry, it is because of song like
“Iheneme”. “I wee na-eme order. I gbasapu ukwu, m gbasapu aka”, the “Skit” got me laugh hard.

Ijele - The Traveler is indeed an album a typical Easterner would enjoy.
