Elsy Wameyo – River Nile
Imagine Picasso sculpting the Mona Lisa and then going right ahead and sculpting the Mona Lisa 2: Lisa With A Vengeance. That’s effectively what Elsy’s done with River Nile, springboarding off the pure strength of 2021 single Nilotic into something that, impossibly, hits even harder, faster and just as magically produced by her own hand. We’ve known from early releases that Elsy has a sizeable fortune invested into that singing voice but she this feels like the first record where she’s spent some of that currency alongside her bars of gold. Where Nilotic was #7 in my best songs of the 2021, I’m predicting an even higher placing for River Nile. Elsy’s rich run of form will extend into her forthcoming EP upon which you’ll find both singles thus far, out April 1. You bet your ass I’ll be copping the 12inch.
