SHALLOW (Cover) By Sekani and Olujay || Hive Open Mic [WK-130]

avatar

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


This week's theme for Hive Open Mic is "Creativity & Freestyle." And for something spicy, the thought of a duet came up. I know it's not something new, but it's something creative to try. Today, we have with us our amazing artist, @sekani. And we bring to you, Shallow.

Shallow, from the movie A Star Is Born, is a song that inspires emotion. At first, the true meaning of the lyrics might not be explicit, but it can be deduced from the movie. It's a dialog between a man and a woman in love. The "accomplished" man asks if she doesn't want more, and the "contented" woman asks him what else he could be searching for. Together they explored stardom and love, but it all ended with the girl singing a song vowing never to fall in love again.

Shallow4.jpg

This duet had been planned way before the unveiling of the theme, "Creativity & Freestyle." It was initially meant to be for a previous theme, "Heartbreak." But things just did not work out as planned. And then we almost did not want to join in any theme for our duet as we had missed the first. But here we are...

Regardless of how challenging it was, making this duet was a lot of fun, educative, and enlightening. It really is not just about making some songs, or just a cover, but the experience that comes with doing things like this; working with people to create.

So, with a gentle note, I say to you, do enjoy the music.

This is top notch quality bro! the Editing on this video is mad not to even talk about the time in making such beautiful music. I see as you and @sekan is topping up the quality notch. Keep it up...

By the way, @sekani, come give me voice training. i was to be singing as great as you do. @olujay come teach me guitar, I don't know how to play the guitar again. I want to learn those chords you are playing in the video.

Abeg if you are good, you are good abeg. I no need say anything again...

@sekani you are also as good as Joe, the both of you did really well with the collaboration, I so much love how you both pushed yourself, that pitch was not so comfortable but you guys sang it so well, kudos guys, I'm a big fan of your collab ❤️.

You know, I used to keep my baritone to myself and try to sing more like tenor guys. But that never really worked well for me. Now, I just sing with what I have been given in hopes that I'll deliver. So, I am really glad you like it.

Merit did that?? Wow!😅😅😂 I dey blush sha...🤭

Thank you for your kind words and unshaken support always...

You're good, this is no shallow talk, the backing guitar got me like...🤗, I never expected it😂, baba even served us that country vibe. This is really beautiful man.

Madam @sekani, it will continue to mess with me if I don't tell you that I've always loved your tone from the first time I saw your video ever since I joined this chain. Keep blessing us with your voice sist✌🏾.
