REVIEW OF STARLIFE BY VICTONY.
-The album has an 8.1/10 rating.
-2 fillers, still good songs.
-The production wears a LUXURIOUS GANGSTER coat at all times.
-Everything about the album was annoyingly and effortlessly on theme lol.
The life of a star from his view.
-Swagalomo and Che were used more like adlibs than real words.
The album has a sun ☀️(party mood) and moon 🌑 energy (Lover boy mood) to it.

TOO LIT - There’s this sinister bounce the beat carries that introduces the album smoothly like it’s creeping up on you, Victony reels us in with his layered voice, his head voice is not doing too much just enough “life style pino pino, everything on Che”,you’re most likely to replay it.
WHO THIS with BNXN - That guitar intro and the voice following it set the tone for “SWAGALOMO NA YOUR STYLE TOO SWEET GIRL E NO BITTER” what a line to begin a song. There was a nasty bass guitar going off while all this is going on. Bnxn did his thing. So many instruments working together but it didn’t sound noisy. Piano keys here and there, and that snare, the kick is soft but hard at the same time.
STARLIFE with YKB AND BLAQBONEZ - “Baby no dey take me serious”. YKB kept the energy going, it’s a quick and easy verse. Blaqbonez is already the best feature on the album. He had three personalities on one verse that isn’t up to a minute, crazy delivery. “Baby tell me say I too sabi oh” and she was right! Replay value on steroids.
VICTONY HAS MASTERED THE ART OF THE FIRST FEW SECONDS OF A SONG. Once you hear it you won’t want to skip it.
PINO with BABYBOY AV - Again the beat is so beautiful. There’s this funny AV line “Amotekun I be hunter” he watches the news lol.
FRE$H.
FYNE - Strong song but didn’t have to be on the album. It altered the flow of the album. A skip.
CLEAR - Raves will love it, mushpit energy. DJ’s and hype men should see the vision. The production again.
SLICK - Listening again to this song and there’s this detail on Amma’s voice, like an acoustic guitar trailed her voice a little, cool detail.
2FRESH - The “Lalalalalalala” felt like story time, already sounds like a fashion/ OOTD sonic vehicle, also an indoor runway type track.

ARMED & DANGEROUS - He is repeating Che Che again but it doesn’t feel monotonous. Young Jon’s voice has never sounded this good tbh, and that ending? The producer had something to prove. Amazing finish.
FEELS LIKE “SWAGALOMO” AND “CHECHE” ARE PART OF THE MELODIC DNA OF THE ALBUM.
CAN JUICE - Playlist curators, this is a slow sex song should be number 3 or 4 on the list.
MISSING PEICE - Is how a rich playboy expresses love. And also the calmest song on the project. Carried the feeling of walking down the aisle.
TWIN with FOLA - The production and Mixing is class. Fola’s verse is so cool, the layering mahn!
AMAZON - Good song, is a filler. Didn’t need to be on.
TYPO - wonderful closing, like a curtain closing to the album with all the violins going off like we in a Chinese movie. Also reminded us of his previous album Stubborn. Chefs kiss.
