Passion and Evidence-backed braggadocio: A Review of Rema's Ravage EP


Home - Trending - Passion and Evidence-backed braggadocio: A Review of Rema's Ravage EP


Following the success of his last album, Rave and Roses, Rema came like a thief in the night to announce the release of his newest EP ‘Ravage’.  In Rave and Roses, he explored aspects of his early life and showcased his versatility with a mix of Afrobeats, trap, and soulful melodies.


In 'Ravage,' Rema shifts to a different theme, describing it as an outburst from within, fueled by drive, passion, and destiny. The project aims to convey a sense of release, albeit with an intensity akin to fire.


'Ravage' reintroduces a side of Rema reminiscent of 2019, where he expresses himself without reservation. In "Trouble Maker," he confidently asserts his talent, reclaiming the title of "Prince of Afrobeats" with poise. Throughout the 14minutes-long EP, Rema addresses personal growth, emphasizing his commitment to maintaining peace of mind as emphasised on DND, and expanding the frontiers of Afrobeats— holding the game down.  He distinctively spoke about his growth as an individual in all aspects of his life in track 3 ‘Smooth Criminal’


Contrary to expectations, Rema surprises listeners with tracks 4 and 5, "Don't Leave" and "Red Potion," revealing a seductive and romantic facet. The EP is presented as an experimental endeavor, earning both praise and criticism. Nevertheless, Rema effectively communicates his emotions and storytelling prowess, leaving an indelible impression.


While the longevity of the tracks remains uncertain, 'Ravage' has made a notable impact, garnering over 1.8 million streams on Spotify on its first day and securing the title of the highest-charting African EP in Apple Music history.
