No doubt, ”African Giant” was so good, it got fans very excited for ”Twice As Tall”, making comparison inevitable, because ”African Giant” had already set a standard, and fans were not expecting anything less.
The Grammy-nominated Nigerian artiste made it known that he does not like when they compare his releases together, as each release immortalizes a period of his life, meaning different songs at different phases have different meanings.
He says his intention when he releases a song is not for them to be compared with another video, rather he releases songs due to how he feels at that point in his life. In his words, ”I do not put projects together and release them so they can be compared with each other. I release them because that is how I am feeling in that part of my life and that makes me immortal”
He added that twice as tall is an album that shows the struggle for freedom and depicts life in general, in its good times, and in its bad, in its happy times, and in its sad times as well as in its great times”.
