The song has a mellow beat, with a laid-back tone which the singers sustain from the beginning to the end. It's a haute gig, this, wrapped in a fine definition of cool. Indeed, Tiwa isn't boasting when she proclaims herself the baddest. Her rivals know it, but will not cease challenging her with each new song that they release. And that's how it is. No one gets to sit on their laurels as years come and go. Each year demands a re-constitution, as I see it.
WizKid? Well, he's Starboy! He is in full command of his consistent voice, and his tempo, and there's not a hint of affectation. He is not averse to being the Clyde of this love duet played out in so 'public' an outing -- in which he, Starboy, and Tiwa are the orbital point of reference for all the goings-on.
But, contrary to Tiwa's insinuation, there's no similitude here with the Bonnie and Clyde matter. There's no re-run here of that saga across vast and violent spaces -- on Earth. Starboy's displaying maximum restraint. All there is is fine swaying and posturing. And a super pleasant slice of Time served to all of us.
