Larry Gaaga teams up with Peruzzi on a new record called “GAGA,” continuing his run of collaborations. The Nigerian music executive, songwriter and recording artist keeps leaning on voices outside his own. Here, that voice belongs to Peruzzi.
The song is built around the singer’s vocal delivery. Larry Gaaga’s collaborative approach is well known, and he lets Peruzzi’s melodic style carry the weight instead of taking the lead himself. That division of labour is the main thing to listen for.
On paper, the pairing makes sense. Larry Gaaga has built a reputation for connecting artists, while Peruzzi’s strength sits in melody and vocal phrasing. “GAGA” gives both of them room to do what they are known for, with the singer’s voice doing the heavy lifting over the production.
There is not much else to report about the song beyond the collaboration itself, so the music will have to speak for it. If you have played it, does Peruzzi’s delivery carry the record for you, or were you expecting more from the pairing? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
