The last 18 months have proved to be a freshman year for the ages for Zlatan. In foreshadowing the exit of the Shaku Shaku movement and leading in with the Zanku, his influence has also cut through and highlighted his cultural impact.
For his latest, Zlatan goes back to basics as he recalls Phantom who he worked with on Tekno’s Agege and IVD for a romantic single which is conspicuously missing his signature street slangs and off-kilter delivery. Considering his intention to save his lover from a chaotic relationship, Zlatan tones down his usual aggressiveness and toes a more soft spoken path while still managing to capture our attention with busy instrumentals consisting of a heavy bass and a rising cadence of acoustics.
