Simi does her thing on the chorus, coming off as assured and vulnerable at the same time and she is mostly the reason the song makes such a lasting impression. Simi marks the album’s zenith, a tale of unrequited attention that would have been made that much better had Falz delivered his verses in standard Yoruba/English. It’s a head-nodder, a rap along-er, and Falz’s second verse on the track is one of his best showings on this record. The haunting underlay of the beat marries perfectly with the mood the rappers’ verses set. Falz has undeniable chemistry with the album’s chief producer, Sess. Phyno & Chigurl, is as much about the production as it is the rappers’ work. He gets seemingly personal whilst relaying the angst of a young man enduring a long-distance relationship on Time Difference. Stories is a concept album in the sense that every song is a stand-alone story playfully admonishing as on Workaholic or encouraging as on My People. The reflection is dope though this is the most appropriate way to open the record.

Oddly it works, as he switches effortlessly between Yoru-English, Yoruba, and Pidgin. Being the scion of one of Nigeria’s foremost legal luminaries must come with it own pressures, indeed, Falz is a qualified lawyer but his route to the music scene has been less than conventional, blurring the line between his act as a comedian and a rapper. ![]() He’s been ubiquitous, from fronting Ad campaigns for several brands to becoming an A-list star, still, it’s back to the music for him. Coming off a very successful year, Folarinde ‘ Falz’ Falana is back with his sophomore record, Stories That Touch. ![]()
