MUSIC REVIEW: I SURRENDER ALL – SANAA

SANAA
Date: September 19, 2013
Genre: Gospel (Jazz)
Release: August 18, 2013
Rating: 3/5
Reviewer: JEFFREY OWUSU

Yes! You guessed right. It is the jazz version of one of your favourite hymns. The one you have been singing since you were a teen. You also remember the lyrics and that makes this song your “breakfast tune” as you get out of bed to prepare for the day, or your “bedtime song” as you crawl into bed to rest for the night. If you happen not to know the lyrics, you will still enjoy this song as the skilled bass guitarist works melodic wonders using his fingers. You also hear the sound of the saxophone. That happens to be Steve Bedi; a talented jazz artiste whom I could also call a favourite to many in Ghana. I really was expecting a lot more creativity in the rhythm and the beat. Nothing so special from the drums and keyboard as they harmonize or complement Sanaa on the guitar and Bedi on the sax. It is his first official single. There is no denying the imminent ones will sound much better because for a start, I surrender all by this experienced bass guitarist is a good one.
