When speaking of the most notable music duo in the Nigerian music industry of all time, then Falz-Simi duo collaborations should top the list. The pair has been responsible for hits that rocked the Nigerian music space.
Yes, these two not only release quality hit tracks but ensure that their song is filled with lyricism, good flow switches, and nice tempos. Their latest song “Borrow Me Your Baby” is an example of Falz and Simi’s most impressive works.
If you’re wondering how far back, Simi and Falsz have been musically, then this post is designed for you. In this post, you will be reading about four other songs composed by Simi and Falz in the past that have solidified the claim as the best musical duos in the Nigerian music industry. Let’s begin the analysis.
1. Jamb Question (Remix)
The first-ever collaboration between Falz and Simi happened on the remix of “Jamb Question”. The song was one of the songs that the pair worked on that parachuted them to the limelight.
In fact, for Simi, it was one of the songs she made when she left the Gospel Music genre. The lyricism displayed by both Falz and Simi on that single was top-notch.
The storyline of the “Jamb Question Remix” was about a young lady who was admired by a young man. To get her heart, the man began to woo her by asking questions. However, these questions were becoming too unnecessary, and as such, the lady was moved to ask him the reasons for the unusual questioning.
She described the unusual interrogation as a JAMB Question — a well-known examination body in Nigeria that assesses prospective candidates for Nigerian universities.
2. Soldier
In a way, the “Soldier” single acted as a follow-up to the “Jamb Question Remix” single. It was recorded and released in 2016. The song is regarded by many music lovers in Nigeria as one of the most harmonious singles of all time.
The switches between Falz and Simi were like bread and butter. In fact, it was from this song that many began to speculate if the two artistes were in a relationship. Simply put, the collaboration on the song was spectacular.
The song tells a love story about a soldier and a civilian. The civilian who was a young lady had no feelings for the soldier. However, the soldier on the other hand, who boasted about his status, thought it was going to be an easy ride.
After several attempts to capture the interest of the lady civilian, he was left disappointed as the lady was not an easy type.
3. Chemistry
There’s arguably no Falz-Simi collaboration that beats the “Chemistry” jam. The song was one that almost everyone could relate to. The song, which was released in 2017, centers on the situation of two friends who were so close that many thought they would be great as lovers.
This perception was related to the situation of both Falz and Simi at the time, as they were confused many times about being lovers when on the contrary, were just friends. The song was one of the best creative works that was released in 2017.
In the song, Falz sang from the perspective that he would honestly like to try the relationship “thing” with Simi but was filled with uncertainties. He even described Simi’s boyfriend as a street fighter which even made him more discouraged to come close.
Simi, on the other hand, was clouded with so many uncertainties even using the word “Maybe” over five times in the chorus. The song is definitely one to play if you’re at a crossroads on whether you can turn a “friendship status” into a more “intimate status” with your close friend.
4. Foreign
The “Foreign” jam is a cruise jam that everyone can dance to. The song was filled with jokes from both Simi and Falz that every average Nigerian can relate to. The song which was released in 2018 talks about fake life and the assertions usually made by people whose lives revolved around being fake.
The center focus of the song was about expatriates who after returning would pretend not to understand the Nigerian way.
If there’s any song from the Simi and Falz collection that would make you move your body, then this is the one. The song’s catchy lyrics and beats made it one of the trendy songs of 2018 immediately after its release. The colorful music video display also played a great factor in its popularity.
Conclusion
There’s no doubt that the collaborations between Simi and Falz in the past have helped skyrocket their respective careers, And also made the entertainment industry worthwhile. The two artistes have made many believe in the power of collaboration.
So as you listen to “Borrow Me Your Baby”, be sure to listen to other tracks that have been made by these duo to understand how far these pair have come!
