And I don't even know why I always imagine him wearing sunglasses when I hear his voice. On a song, he tastes hoarse, like you'd normally hear on dancehall, and/ or is an excellent highlife tenor, and /or the leader of a "jama" session that energetic and immensely enjoyable genre which floats on chorused claps, sarcastic spiritualism and crass speak. His voice, his melody is rich and ambiguous: it's nearly not good and nearly really good at the same time. Reggie Zippy, now known simply as Reggie is, well, was a real contender for hiplife relevance ( royalty even), at least, for his effort on two songs: " Virgin" and "Adomaa".Actually, let's make it three " For Sale" is special too. But since Reggie Zippy has been away in the UK practising as an accountant, we had all gone back to following Rockstone alone, and it is not until this edition of the X Factor that we have remembered our other Reggie, the prodigal Reggie. Maybe that has not entirely been accurate since Zippy's entre in 2002 with his musical explosives. His act on the X Factor isn't, and that shouldn't be a debate. And till now, no, even now, it's the single moment of musical brilliance Bollie has given to us.
It is a classic.all songs on Da Hammer's Sounds of Our Time compilation are. Bollie's " You May Kiss The Bride " is original in the way it embodies hiplife. Before leaving for the UK, both artists had left pleasurable moments in our ears. Still, I have many good things, other good things to say about Reggie and Bollie, who entered the competition as Menn on Point. nah, I can't say it, for it wouldn't be true. Ok, let me make a more tolerable statement: Reggie and Bollie. Nobody tells their child they suck with their talents even if they are, and once you have something 'else' to say about Ghana brothers on the verge major success, you are pulling them down. If any Ghanaian finds these words unsavoury, it's due to a simple reason: you are Ghanaian, and in this situation, I am not Ghanaian enough, or rather, I too I'm being a typical Ghananian, but in that way. The band, which released ‘Turn It Up’ and ‘Celebrate’ in 2014, is set to release a ‘World Class’ banger in April.See, let's not pretend, Reggie and Bollie are really not that good.not with singing, not for a reality show based on singing. THE TYPE OF SONGS THESE TALENTED LADS CHURN OUT ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BUT IRRESISTIBLE. “MENN on Poinnt IS A UNIQUE AND VIBRANT AWARD WINNING POP AND WORLD MUSIC BAND MADE UP OF BOLLIE AND REGGY.

Does the name Bollie resonate some memory? Wait! How about Reggy Zippy? I am sure “Adoma” is still fresh on the minds of many a Ghanaian music lover.īollie who was at the height of his musical struggle gained prominence with his ‘You May Kiss The Bride’ anthem off the ‘Sounds of Our Time’ EP by Da’ Hammer.
