AN article on D'banj written by the NewYork Times

Famous magazine, The New York
Times did a review of his latest
album, DKM and here is what
they had to say: -
D’Banj is one of the great African
pop stars of the past decade, a
charming singer but, more
important, a savvy showman.
For years, this Nigerian singer
was at the center of the Mo’Hits
Records stable, but now he’s
struck out on his own with a new
label and the compilation
“D’Banj Presents DKM (D’ King’s
Men)” (DB/G.O.O.D./Sony).
It’s an alluring contemporary
pop album with an emphasis on
king-size dance music, like the
militarily efficient “Don’t Tell Me
Nonsense” and the flash of last
year’s excellent smash hit “Oliver
Twist.”
D’Banj is also a savvy synthesizer
of the old and new Africa, as on
“(We the Best),” a duet with the
Congolese singer Fally Ipupa.
But really, D’Banj has his eye on
the world; he’s signed to Kanye
West’s G.O.O.D. Music imprint,
and the lovely “Scape Goat (The
Fix)” features what’s certainly
the most cheerful version of Mr.
West you’ll hear this year, or any
year.courtesy Infoemation Nigeria.org
