Although Yoyo has a great voice, little is known about him

By Dominic Muwanguzi
IT is hard to tell if Yoyo is an upcoming artiste or an already established one, but one thing is certain — this solidly built artiste has a very compelling voice.

Yoyo — a short form of Nkoyoyo his real name — is one artiste you will listen to and fail to dismiss as boring. As he sings, you are caught up in a rapture of his melodious voice.

On Nkwekutte the first track off his self titled album, Yoyo captures your attention with his smooth flow.
The intro is tight, with hooks and synthetic instrumentation which stir the track into a funky description.

Alullulu, the third track, is a rendition of Fred Masagazi’s 1960s’ classic. On this track, he collaborates with KS Alpha — the dancehall artiste, thus giving the song a contemporary dancehall attribution.

The blend of both artistes’ voices was a well thought concept which gives the track its well-deserved respect. Shawty oozes that sex appeal that characterises most R&B ballads. Unfortunately, that is all it has going for it.

Tonganna hushes my criticism. This melodious track proves the vocal maturity of Yoyo. He features Church D ak.a Remmy Lubega, former Obsessions group manager, who despite being little known as a singer on the local music scene, tries his efforts at reggae and somewhat spices up the flow.

With all these achievements, however, Yoyo needs to emerge from the back stage and take the front seat where he can be recognised.
