The Nigerian singer-songwriter and
renowned speaker known as AaronJoe has released his newest single,
called, “Goodbye Sweet Yesterday.” The song involves elements of
traditional acoustic pop music, reggae music, and Afro-roots music.
Its chorus is entirely uplifting, optimistic, and inviting to join in
with as a listener. Truly, it is difficult to keep from singing along
with AaronJoe even on a first-time listen through. He is an extremely
interactive performer, and every one of his lyrics is penned with the
most careful forethought and heartfelt motives and philosophies.
While the song is definitely a work of
musical art, AaronJoe (who is also sometimes referred to as the Voice
of Reason) has very openly emphasized that while the song may be
catchy, nice to hear and to sing, the music is not the important
thing. When asked about his musical history, and how it is that he
came to write and perform music, AaronJoe has a very direct and clear
response.
“I was called by God to be an example
to the next generation,” he says, plainly. The single, “Goodbye
Sweet Yesterday” is, in fact, the title track to the LP of the same
name. The entire record is AaronJoe's message to the world – though
he is likely to insist that his message is not his, but His, in the
ecclesiastical sense. He explains this in the following way:
“Goodbye Sweet Yesterday is a record
that is intended to bring you to terms with the fact that yesterday
is gone with all that it came with, and that today is a new
opportunity made possible by love, for you to do it all over again,
[this time] knowing you are not doing it for yourself, but for the
next generation that trusts and looks up to you to do the right
thing, and to create the right path for them to follow.”
Among his main influences, AaronJoe
lists the following artists in no particular order: Bob Marley, UB40,
Uberon Aroy, Louis Armstrong, Rascal Flatts, and Busta Rhymes.
AaronJoe's single, “Goodbye Sweet
Yesterday,” is available online everywhere beginning 8 March, 2013.
