Alloby‘s newly released EP, ‘Allo B Thy Name’, is an interesting product. An Afrobeats/ dancehall offering, the EP includes seven tracks by the burgeoning act who is determined to top the charts and gain all the meaningful musical accolades along the way. Production was handled by 3Kings Music Group and Upper Peak Studios.
Asked if he was worried about the name of the EP, ‘Allo B Thy Name’, a play on ‘hallowed be Thy name’ being construed as blasphemous, he responded: “They will still have something to say, at least I didn’t say ‘science be thy name’.” – Jamaica Observer
The EP touches on love, romancing, dashing out, being alone, being a soldier, and just having a vibes overall. I found it to be a pleasant listen, showing enhanced forethought going into the music from a local act. The lyrics are catchy, and the melodies are simple enough so that you want to sing along. With enough promotion, these are songs that can do numbers worldwide. My only problem? Two minutes is way too short when you’re rocking to a song.
