Otto Vonpablo‘s
latest single “Everyday Is Sunday” featuring Christ Rydaz due to be released on
the 27th of November is a prelude to his up coming Extended Play (EP) of 6
tracks which promises to up the creative ante of the Nigeria gospel music industry.
Otto is unapologetic
about his claim, “if art is dead then I am the resurrection… in a time where
both marketers, music labels and promoters are plotting the fade of creativity
and it’s demise, I stand in opposition” Vonpablo penned in his memoir on African
Art he titled, ‘Death by contempt’.
For those of you who
are not conversant with the name Otto Vonpablo, he is born Otto Paul Adah who
is not only known for being the President of (ATC CLUB) one of the most
influential youth organization in Nigeria but also a renowned Poet and
Author; a prolific song writer and Actor.
Otto has grown to be
a unique original such that is difficult to categorize, “I am
typical of no one else” Otto will say humorously.
Come the 4th of dec,
Otto promises to release his “AWOKEN” EP as a serenata to honour the rise of a
new dawn as he calls it, ” strange realm of awareness…” Awoken to love, to God…
propagating change via the power of music and lyrical content.
“Awoken” is rich,
intriguing and melodious in what seem to break-even inspiration vs creativity.
From the techno-glazed “Otto-matic Love” and it’s “Full Otto-mation” that yet
instills the usual infectious Naija flavor down to the moderate slow rock emotion
found in “Songs in the Night” and “Something Beautiful”, such great variety of
musical style that makes this EP perfect for any music lover looking for
something far more than our typical Naija grooves.
“Writing the verses
to the song ‘something beautiful’ was an experience for me” said Vonpablo, ” it
was an expression of my blatant honesty and faith in God…”
In as much as it
excites us to explore the content of this vast field, Otto still affirms, ”
it’s just the introduction of myself”.
