Music Review: Enjoy by Tekno

“Enjoy,” is a song by Nigerian singer and songwriter, Augustine Kelechi Miles aka Tekno.

Honestly, Tekno and his dance moves in all his songs are quite hilarious. His dance move in this song is no exception. Check out the video in the latter part of this article.

What is the song Enjoy by Tekno all about?

To enjoy means to have fun, or to do something that pleases you.

To enjoy yourself, you may decide to give yourself a nice treat, go on vacation, spend hugely on yourself, and party with selected families and friends

In the song, Tekno sings about his desire to enjoy his life to the fullest and do what pleases him with his hard-earned money without giving a damn about what people say. He says anyone who doesn’t want him to enjoy, would suffer calamity (ogaju.)

Tekno also encourages people to be resolute and never give up, because one day, they would certainly achieve their heart’s desire, and live a life of enjoyment.

Lyrically: The song comes in 2 verses. The chorus was taken thrice. The lyrics are cheesy, so cheesy, especially the verses. Verses 1 and 2 do not correlate with the chorus, and can not be linked to the entire song. Independent sentences with no meaning

Tekno sang mostly in Pidgin. What pre-dominated the song was the chorus “Allow me to enjoy myself”

Vocally: Tekno flowed well on the beat and did not go off-tune. His vocal was clear also.

Melody: The song has a highlife beat. The major instruments used to compose this song are drum, horn, guitar, bass, and piano. The rhythm flows well, and there was consistency in the style of rhythm.
