Otto
Vonpablo‘s latest single “Everyday Is Sunday” featuring Christ Rydaz due to be
released on the 21st of November is a prelude to his upcoming Extended
Play (EP) of 7 tracks which promises to up the creative ante of the Nigeria
gospel music industry.
Otto
is unapologetic about his claim, “if art is dead then I am the resurrection… in
a time where both marketers, music labels and promoters are plotting the fade
of creativity and its demise, I stand in opposition” Vonpablo penned in his
memoir on African Art he titled, ‘Death by contempt’.
For
those of you who are not conversant with the name Otto Vonpablo, he is born
Otto Paul Adah who is not only known for being the President of (ATC CLUB) one
of the most influential youth organization in Nigeria but also a renowned
Poet and Author; a prolific song writer and Actor.
Otto has grown to be unique and original such that is difficult
to categorize, “I am typical of no one else” Otto will say
humorously.
Come the 4th of dec, Otto promises to release his “AWOKEN” EP as a serenata to honor the rise of a new dawn as he calls it, ” strange realm of awareness…” Awoken to love, to God… propagating change via the power of music and lyrical content.

“Awoken”
is rich, intriguing and melodious in what seem to break-even inspiration vs
creativity. From the techno-glazed “Otto-matic Love” and its “Full Otto-mation”
that yet instills the usual infectious Naija flavor down to the moderate slow
rock emotion found in “Songs in the Night” and “Something Beautiful”, such
great variety of musical style that makes this EP perfect for any music lover
looking for something far more than our typical Naija grooves.
“Writing
the verses to the song ‘something beautiful’ was an experience for me” said
Vonpablo, it was an expression of my blatant honesty and faith in God…”
In as much as it excites us to explore the content of this vast field, Otto still affirms,” it’s just the introduction of me.
