SUPER FREDDY – VENUS DANCING IN THE NIGHT SKY [EP]

Hailing from Canada, a land known for its ethereal beauty, we find an artist who mirrors this wonder in his music – a genre-blurring performer named SUPER FREDDY. Drawing much from Afrobeat and Afro-Caribbean sounds but also dipping his pen into hip-hop, R&B, and electronic music inkwells, FREDDY takes us on an emotional ride with his 4-track EP, VENUS DANCING IN THE NIGHT SKY.

The album gets underway with “Feelings Change,” a spirited track whose beat brims with feel-good energy while our singer’s lyrics flow with an almost stoic turmoil burning beneath the surface. Set against a backdrop of warm Afro-Caribbean rhythms and soulful electronics, this song introduces the album with a cool thump. As FREDDY sings, “Feels like day to day your feelings change/And I hope you feel the same way/But when we get close I feel you pull away/Pull away”, he quietly points at the confusing ebb and flow of affection between himself and his lady love. And as the drums and bass rock in time with the shifting sentiments between the couple, we are given a visceral sense of the song’s poignant theme.

Next, we glide into “Ndolo,” a midtempo Afrobeat track where FREDDY dives into a love narrative, revealing exhilarating highs and yearning lows. His tender voice sings, “Baby keep me floating/ Can we take it easy babe/ Easy baby, tonight/ Ndolo, ndolo, I die/ Ndolo, ndolo, I die”, reaching out to hearts across the globe by blending English and the Duala language of his Cameroonian roots. The beat is subtle and steady as it grounds the soothing melody, but it’s SUPER FREDDY‘s voice that lends the tune its starlit glow.

Just around the curve, we come across “Bankolé“. Here, SUPER FREDDY and producer Dionso serve up an aromatic, Afrobeat vibe that is layered with lively chants, richly textured Fender Rhodes parts, and jazz trumpet flourishes. While FREDDY‘s lyrics are mostly in French, the tune’s overarching message of infatuation comes across clearly through the music. The incantations, pumping out of the speakers, carry with them an infectious energy that makes you want to move. Even without understanding the language, you find yourself lost in the rhythm, the melody taking you on a journey of heady infatuation.

Fanning out on a fresh avenue, “This Love” intersects hip-hop and soulful electronica to cook up a quick-stepping, “everybody, move ya body” soundscape. Here, SUPER FREDDY brilliantly etches the story of love’s perseverance against towering odds with a hint of defiance. As he declares, “And we make our moments/ I wanna be there in the morning/ I wanna be scared that you’ll break me apart/ But still give you my heart, let you hold it,” he’s telling us that love is not a weakness. It’s not something we should fear or hide, but rather something worth fighting for.

SUPER FREDDY brings a breath of fresh air with his EP , VENUS DANCING IN THE NIGHT SKY. With roots anchored in Afrobeat and branch extensions into the spheres of hip-hop, R&B, and electronica, he delivers a series of tracks laced with sincere, often confessional lyrics and pairs them with heart-stirring beats. “Feelings Change” and “Ndolo” give us snapshots of love’s fluid dynamics, while “Bankolé” and “This Love” expose the dance between fascination and enduring commitment. So, go ahead, take a leap. Dive into SUPER FREDDY’s universe. There’s a whole other world in there waiting to be explored, and you just might find it illuminating.
