The debut project of Nigerian singer CupidSZN rewards close listens. On “Palava,” the singer’s tender, self-assured overtures—“ready to take the risk, no need caution”—peak in a tight, fast-sung bridge that mimics intense longing, so much so that even the defiant “no motherfucker as a challenger” lands less as bravado than as proof of desire. The hook in “Tuka Tuka” goes: “Tell your girl them, none of them fine pass you/Girl, I like you/No de tuka tuka for my side view.” In Nigerian Pidgin, “tuka tuka” means to show off or strut ostentatiously. The line fosters a flirtatious rivalry between a love interest and her friends—one of several sharp touches in MYTH-ERA. True to its title, “Zesty Money” is high-tempo and propulsive. The track’s rhythm guitar doubles as percussion—reminiscent of Prince’s “Cream”—while the overall groove evokes Rema’s Don-Jazzy produced “Bounce.” Lines like “The way I love you, you must be loveth” are simple and effective, while “Show them wickedness like regime of Tinubu” delivers both humor and a political jab without losing the track’s dance focus. On “Famous,” lyrics like “Our God no fail us/Now look, your boy don famous” pairs celebration and vindication, a fitting mood for a rising star just getting his feet wet.
