Dr. Dre disappears and even Cross Movement goes missing, but
after 5 months out of the game – we’re back! And this time we are more
relentless, less merciful, more brutal and – just kidding! The aim remains the
same and that is to encourage the music coming out of our country.
·
I am not different: Ever heard a song and then
think “that was dreadful”, or tell your friend: “I really like that song” –
well, if you ever did then you are a reviewer too! We are all reviewers, only
that I write my thoughts down for you to read!
·
I am still on the prowl: if you
choose to put your music out on the market with a price tag (K700, or K1,
500, or whatever!) then you have officially given us a product. As is
with any product I have the right to express my thoughts concerning how I feel
about it. If you want us to buy it, then we have the right to review it.
·
I am still adamant: if you say you are
doing it for God and His kingdom then you know God requires a work of quality.
Quality isn’t how much money you spend to make your music, it’s the heart and
effort you put behind doing what you love with what little resources you have –
and I have the skill to hear that heart and effort in music.
·
I am sure: it’s a mini-service to our music; it
certainly goes a long way to hype up a project and create an audience both in
Malawi and outside of it. Four people who had never heard of C-Scripture
e-mailed me after his review went out saying they were impressed – one was from
America… Good review, bad review you always get publicity.
Here is what I would like for you to do…wait! I am coming
out with new reviews from Crossover to Arthur, Li-Wu to Suffix, Gospo San to
Lomuthi, S.A.M.U.E.L to Lawi and so wait for them. In the meantime:-
1.
Let’s start trending #sharpiron on twitter, keep the conversation goin. Argue with me, agree with me
2.
You can catch me there too on @rowmasi
3.
Divert my attention to music that is coming out,
I can’t keep track of all of them
4.
Divert my attention to artists that are coming
out, I can’t keep track of all of them
5.
Keep waiting…– it takes a lot of time to go through
a project properly, do my research, ask advice from technical experts and other
music heads – I take a project seriously because I assume the artist was
serious when making it too!
Thank-you for the warm
welcome back!
