Barry Jhay keeps “Barrystar Vol-2” moving with “Let’s Go,” the fifth track on the project, and the title pretty much tells you exactly where this one is headed.
After the more personal and cultural feel of “Motide” and “Uwese,” “Let’s Go” lifts the energy back up. Barry Jhay sounds loose and confident here, not chasing any particular message, just riding the vibe and letting the music do the work.
This is the side of Barry Jhay that connects well with younger listeners who might not always follow the deeper, Yoruba-rooted records on his catalogue. “Let’s Go” is straightforward and easy to get into without needing any context. You just press play and it pulls you in.
As part of “Barrystar Vol. 2,” “Barry Jhay – Let’s go” works well as a midpoint energy booster on the project. It stops the EP from settling into one mood for too long and reminds listeners that Barry Jhay can move comfortably across different sounds without losing his identity. Stream the full project and let this one catch you when it comes.
