While Gbagada Express bears the sound that helped launch BOJ to stardom—the airy, drowsy vocals that underpin his hypnotic hooks, the spate of features and the variegated beats—the second installment, Moving Mad, shifts into a more intimate mood, and the texture is more condensed, with contributed verses now tailored to fit BOJ’s cohesive soundscape. The affair kicks off with the mellow “Foreigner”, a note-to-self about a change in status. It’s here we understand the sonic direction of the project, with BOJ trading out most of the brassy aspects of Gbagada Express for a more raw, smoother, and simpler sonic palette. Melissa’s eclectic flow is the special sauce on the TSB-produced “Brand New”, while “No Option” finds ODUMODUBLVCK unfurling his cocksure confidence, and on “Line of Fire”, Ayra Starr assists with a bevy of delightful promises. It’s clear there’s a romantic streak to the project, as BOJ sounds comfortable crooning out endless assurances, pouring out emotional stories and feelings of fondness for his love interest.
