Trending | Album review: Tresor’s amapiano and pop-infused sixth album, Motion, is aptly named as this singer and songwriter embodies the dying discipline of progression, writes Phumlani S Langa
His sixth album, Motion, is aptly named as this singer and songwriter embodies the dying discipline of progression. Mukengerwa Tresor Riziki’s 14-track opus sees him outdo himself and reach a higher level of expression. This delightful project starts with Lighthouse, a gentle lullaby of love that Da Capo and Sun-El Musician help him create. It has a melody that alleviates any weight you’re carrying and gives the album a comforting feel – something easy and palatable, but still layered.
But with that in mind, Tresor has some of that beloved sound stowed away for safe keeping on Makosa, with his creative compadres, Maphorisa and Kabza De Small. Before that, he flaunts his guest list further by allowing an artist with one of the most potent pens in the game, Msaki, to accompany him. Hold Me Down keeps the atmospheric feel of the album intact.
He gave Drake a throw-away. Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration as his song Fountains on the praised CLB is good. But this right here. Photo: Supplied Tresor and The Scorpion Kings could be one of the hardest trios in the game. The production Maphorisa and Kabza are able to cultivate should be studied at a higher level and dissected. This is sheer alchemy-baffling wizardry that is hard to ignore. This is a masterfully executed demonstration of how well suited amapiano is to sounds beyond the borders as Tresor makes use of Swahili lyrics and they sound like they belong.
