2009’s Mushin 2 Mohits introduced us to the pop music phenomenon known as Wande Coal.
Coal carved a name for himself and with the help of Don Jazzy and set
the template for what pop music sounds like in Nigeria today.
Fast-forward to 2015 after a couple of controversies and label
squabbles, Wande is back with Wanted. You can buy the album HERE.
Now, let’s get into the review itself.
1 Intro (Seyi Law)
T: Like I keep saying, no comedian in Nigeria has ever been funny on a skit
T: Like I keep saying, no comedian in Nigeria has ever been funny on a skit
S: This was meant to crack my ribs, but instead I cracked my fingers and skipped it
2 Adura
T: Welcome back Wande we missed you
T: Welcome back Wande we missed you
S: We really did. His voice still sounds as dope as ever.
T: What better way to start an album than praising Baba God
S:
Delivering us from the oroboness that was holding us back and also
delivering us from the shackles of Mavin. We are back haters!!!
T: What Mavin gotta do with this?
S: Mavin has everything to do with it whether we like it or not
T: We’re just glad Black Diamond back
3 Superwoman

T: This song right here proves why Wande is one of the best vocalists in Nigeria right now. My favourite song on the album by far
S:
You know I was gonna like this song. Like everything was going great.
But i couldn’t get over “I go love you casually” abi na gradually.
T: Wande finish work for here forget
S: Why you loving a superwoman gradually/casually tho’
T: Because Superman dey with Wonder Woman
S: That made no sense. Production was pretty alright as well.
4 We Ball
S: Tune! Jam! King Wande
S: Tune! Jam! King Wande
T: Nothing special here for me. I don’t know why you’re shouting, smooth jam though
S: It’s not special to you because you don’t ball like us.
T: You don’t ball like him either
S: That’s not the point. My imaginary bottle popping life makes me relate.
5 Same Shit feat. Aka
T: Wande’s vocals makes up for the dodgy mixing on this trap beat
T: Wande’s vocals makes up for the dodgy mixing on this trap beat

S: Awon Twitter fingers
6 Monster
T: One time for Legendury Beatz
T: One time for Legendury Beatz
S: Two time for W.C
T: The production on this one is all fire. Wande just killed it with the last verse
S:
Just straight fire verse!!! This is what we’ve been missing. This just
makes you wanna hammer so you can park your white ghost right in front
of a cemetery and stunt on your dead ex’s body
T: You’re on your own with that
7 Skit ( Falz)
S: LMAO!!!!
“Sometimes he do fornicate”
S: LMAO!!!!
“Sometimes he do fornicate”
“I purchazed it with my ard hearned money!!”
“One heatery in mushin serving moin moin!!!
S: This dude is a foooooool. This skit cracked me up
T: Funniest skit I’ve heard in a long time. Can never get tired of Falz and his Yoruba man accent
S: Falz killing both the rap game and the comedy game.
8 Wanted
T: Wande sabi
T: Wande sabi
S: Not really crazy about this but I enjoyed that last 20 seconds of this. Majorbangz beats kinda lose their bang after a while.
T: In other words, Major doesn’t bang, see what I did there?
S: Stop it, please
T: This song felt like it was missing Chidinma
S: Or Phyno…Or Ill Bliss…Or Stormrex…Ok..no Ill Bliss
T: Better
9 African Lady
S: I gave this song 18 seconds
S: I gave this song 18 seconds
T: Wande should just give Flavour his song back asap
S: I have never heard what it sounds beyond that
T: You didn’t miss much, with the signature ‘listen’ this could have been a Flavour song
10 Ashimapeyin
S: SARZ!!!!!!
S: SARZ!!!!!!
T:
Nominee for club banger of the year. When i first heard this song i
didn’t really like it, but a couple of bum bum grinding on me’ later, my
mind changed
S: SMH. This jam will bang till the end of time!!!Waaaaaaande we are your loyal servants!!!
T: Issskaaabaaaa
S: Sarz can produce my unborn kid’s heartbeats. Flaaaaames
T: Am I the only one who has a problem with Wande using his ‘sexy ladies around the world’ line
S: Yes, you are
11 Weekend feat. Maleek Berry
T: Side chic anthem
T: Side chic anthem
S: Jam wey sweet dey give jedi jedi
T: Berry pon the beat
S:
Sounds like a side nigga anthem to me. Really smooth R&B jam for
ladies who just want to talk about the letter D only for the weekend
T: Another smooth song
S: Maleek Berry and Wande really connecting and churning out dope songs
T: Talent meets talent
12. Plenty Love
S: *checks album again*… *checks who produced it*…*checks who is singing*
S: *checks album again*… *checks who produced it*…*checks who is singing*
T: Make story no too much. This is a poor song. Shouldn’t have made the album. Finish
S: Iyanya was in the studio…that is the only excuse
T: Or written by him
S: After we gave Maleek Berry praise…sounds like Wizzy is teaching him bad things
13 Skit (Jimmie)
S: Skip
S: Skip
T: Nothing here, pointless skit just adding to the album count
14 Make You Mine feat. 2Face
T: Nope, this didn’t happen. Wande and 2face didn’t come together to make this
T: Nope, this didn’t happen. Wande and 2face didn’t come together to make this
S: Well I know we were expecting mind blowing but we just got “una try”
T: Dem no try, maybe Wande gotta change his name to Sound Sultan for 2face to come correct
S: 
15 Lowkey
T: This right here is what Burna should have jumped on. Track is tailor made for him
T: This right here is what Burna should have jumped on. Track is tailor made for him
S: But Wande made this a jam. I enjoyed this. Galala forever
T: Wande is talented. Talent will always shine but i’m just confused about beat selection and topic range sometimes
16 Iyawo Mi
S: This song, ‘African lady’ and ‘Plenty Love’ are competing for this week’s edition of ‘songs that should be in the trash can’
S: This song, ‘African lady’ and ‘Plenty Love’ are competing for this week’s edition of ‘songs that should be in the trash can’
T: And they’re songs Wande should shine on easily. You hear titles like that and expect something great
S: Poor songs. “Bambialah” tracks. This had no place on this album. F9 for whoever A&R’d this album
17 Jelly
T: I don’t know how I feel about this song.
T: I don’t know how I feel about this song.
S: Hahahah I swear
T: Wande sounding like Wiz on this joint, like he basically spat out Wizkid on this song
S: Maleek Berry made him do it. But it’s normal. Wizzy kinda hot right now.
T: This was hard for me to listen to, sounded like a Wizkid freestyle
S: Harmless fun i guess…ain’t gonna be a favourite.
T: Ain’t gonna be listened to again either
18 Baby Hello
T: You already know. Jam
T: You already know. Jam
S: Dopeness
19 Wanted remix feat Burnaboy
S: SARZ!!!!!!
S: SARZ!!!!!!
T: Still preferred the original.
S: Nah, this should have been the only ‘Wanted’ that made the album. Burna and Wande go together like Dudu Osun and Yoruba skin
T: Huh! Why
S: Black on black!
T: The day Burna would not speak Yoruba on a track is the day that a woman would allow you enter her front in traffic
S: Hahahaha That’s hard yo
20 Kpono feat. Wizkid
S: This is a virus
S: This is a virus
T: Like Cyrus or like…
S: Just behave
T: This is also below expectation to me, nothing good came out of this collabo
S:
With lines like “she playing with my kpono no no ehh”. This jam just
sounds like things old men would sing to private university babes
T: The collab didn’t work as we expected it to, it can kpononono its way out of my ears
S: E no sweet
21 Skit (King Spesh)
S: Skip
S: Skip
T: Another skit that needs skipping
