Well, well, what do we have here today? Nothing but the vibes — Web3 Music Competition Week 33 — and this week comes with a unique spin to it. It involves singing a song in a second language. You know what that means? You'll prolly see a lot of entries that aren't English. This sounds like fun because artists get to explore different genres of music in an attempt to fit into this week's theme.

And from my experience, @holyflames did good justice to that. His cover of the popular song Asibe Happy has left me and others speechless.

It was calm, coordinated, well-composed, and, of course, well-delivered. I loved the originality — how he put a blend of styles into the original song. This is a feature I've always and will always admire in artists.

The song is not the regular kind of song you just hear and decide to pass by. It draws you into it with its amazing lyrics. It talks about life, love, and everything in between. It's an inspirational song sung in a South African dialect by DJ Maphorisa.

His voice merged with the beat as though he was made to sing the song. I love how he calmly navigated through with his riffs and runs. It was a flawless display of emotions, one that got me entangled in its webs. For me, I feel it's definitely one of the top performances of the week.

Congratulations in advance to him and all the artists out there who strive to bring the best to our tables. You guys are winners! I can't wait for the winner to be unveiled. I really do hope the artist mentioned above gets the recognition he deserves.

Well, in a competition like this, anything and everything is expected — but what can we do, other than relax, watch, wait, and most importantly, vote!!
