Iyanya is known for his love songs, some of which include ‘True Love’ and ‘Gift’.
‘Applaudise’ continues in that tradition.
The Kukere master does not only sing about love, he also gives you something to dance to.
Produced by DJ Coublon, Applaudise talks about the artiste’s appreciation of his love interest.
He expresses his feelings, hinting that she should be applauded.
DJ Coublon did a good job on the beat. Iyanya complemented it with good lyrics.
The chorus comes from a man in love.
I want you to know that I love you so
Applaudise for my lady o
Applaudise I love the way you love me on a daily o!
On a daily o
I want you to know that I love you so
And no matter the cost, I won’t let you go
Before we know they go put us for Linda
Anywhere we go they will know our agenda.
Considering the fact that Iyanya just shared a picture of him and Freda Francis on social media not too long ago, we won’t be surprised if the song is about her.
The Linda in question is celebrity blogger, Ms Ikeji.
Iyanya sure understands his crowd.
He might not be saying much, but he knows the right words to say to keep listeners interested.
His second verse goes:
We give God big glory
E no be hate type of story
It won’t be bad for this our Journey
Our Lord get big glory
You know we get funny story
To God be the glory
Applaudise for my lady Applaudise.
Iyanya delivered a hit with little words.
This is not to say he couldn’t have said more, but honestly, that wouldn’t be Iyanya’s type of music.
His hook also adds flavour to the track.
Let’s just say more words to the ears of the ladies listening.
And no matter the cost I won’t let you go Cos you no be regular o.
No be regular o
And your beauty na natural eh… Na natural eh Girl
Baby you dey make me really wanna be with you now and forever na na
The video for the track (see below) was directed by Aje Filmworks.
It stars celebrities like Banky W, DJ Jimmy Jatt, Seyi Law and Timi Dakolo.
Unfortunately for the ladies who love seeing the hunky singer shirtless, he was buttoned up this time around.
He might not get an applause from the fairer sex for that.
