Left to move around on a wheelchair, Victony still worked in his lowest days and produced some of the best works ever, delivering impressive features on Mayorkun’s smash hit “Holy Father” and Savage’s “Rosemary“. Two records topped the charts, introducing us to a newly refined Victony, with the same voice but more bone-deep grief and despondence that characterizes his sounds. “Outlaw” is like a musical document of Victony’s quest, but with more depth and quality, he treats it like a debut album, sounding as mature as ever. It’s crazy when you rewind things to when Victony was a rapper, serving up punchlines with Ladipoe for his Revival Sunday series.

“All power” marks the third collaboration between Victony and Ktizo, with the latter producing three songs, showing Victony’s faith in the production house. «Soweto» is a show-off by Victony and Afrobeats producer Tempoe. It’s a well-balanced song, with a bit of Victony’s falsetto that creates a sharp contrast to the rest of the song. Allowing Tempoe to fill the rest of the record with a flute-inspired production, accompanied by the singer’s backing vocals, creating a very experimental song in the process it’s what this project is about, a wide range of sounds that have been altered to fit Victony’s diversity.

You can never get tired of Victony’s dulcet crooning. The song’s groove shimmers with colour and joy yet still channels pain and loss from his journey, and his vocals add extra emotions to his words, summing up one of the realest songs on his project. Victony is mentally good, not just his craft.
