Many of those who heard Victonys debut EP Saturn attested to his special talent, However, the EP didnt do for him what EP did and is still doing for successful Industry newcomers.
Months after releasing his debut EP, tragedy struck and Victony was locked in a battle for his life. To the delight and relief of fans and colleagues, Victony won the battle. However, the accident made him known to those who weren't conversant with his music.
There was a burden to prove his talent, and Victony set out to discharge this burden. He covered himself in glory in a handful of collaborations notably Mayorkun's Holy Father and Savage's Rosemary.
Listeners who are conversant with Victony's sound would have known what to expect from the EP. There was going to be lots of melodious singing, catchy phrases, pictures-Esque, chic flick impressions, bad boy vibes, sexual innuendos, and some vulnerability.
‘Outlaw’ delivers on all expectations but doesn't do much beyond that. It's expected but not entirely boring. It's enjoyable but not necessarily mind-blowing. And as far as the writing goes, the EP doesn't break the new grounds, even though it represents Victony's evolution.
The realms beyond are not always what we’ve been told…
