Review by Rex Jarvis

Ayetoro's album Asoju Oba is a stunning work of art that showcases the beauty and richness of Yoruba culture. The album features a blend of traditional and contemporary music styles that seamlessly come together to create a unique sound that is both captivating and enchanting.

The album's opening track, "Asoju Oba," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its powerful vocals and rhythmic drumming. The album also features tracks like "Oriki Oba," which pays homage to the kings of Yoruba land, and "Owo," which explores the theme of wealth and prosperity.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Oriki Orun," a soulful ballad that celebrates the beauty of heaven and the afterlife. The track features Ayetoro's haunting vocals, which are accompanied by a beautiful instrumental arrangement that includes the use of traditional Yoruba instruments.
