Her arsenal ranges from upbeat Afrobeat anthems that start parties to nostalgic R&amp;B love ballads.<\/p>\n<p>Darkoo\u2019s \u201cDrunk Texting\u201d is a captivating song that combines her distinctive vocal style with catchy beats. A closer look at the lyrics illustrates the depth and attraction of the song. Of all the songs on this album, \u201cDrunk Texting\u201d is undoubtedly the most memorable track.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d rate \u20182 in 1\u2019 a solid four out of five stars overall. The project is short, taking only twenty minutes to digest. I liked how Darkoo\u2019s music showcases her Nigerian and London influences, giving it a diverse sound. Her music is truly versatile, which is why it should be a regular feature on your playlist. It feels easy to enjoy and finds a balance between being lighthearted and sincere.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"648\" height=\"648\" data-attachment-id=\"28204\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hiphopafrican.com\/darkoo-x-2-in-1-album-review\/drunk-texting\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hiphopafrican.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/drunk-texting.webp?fit=648%2C648&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"648,648\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"drunk-texting\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hiphopafrican.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/drunk-texting.webp?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hiphopafrican.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/drunk-texting.webp?fit=648%2C648&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hiphopafrican.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/drunk-texting.webp?resize=648%2C648&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hiphopafrican.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/drunk-texting.webp?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hiphopafrican.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/drunk-texting.webp?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hiphopafrican.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/drunk-texting.webp?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hiphopafrican.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/drunk-texting.webp?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hiphopafrican.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/drunk-texting.webp?resize=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hiphopafrican.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/drunk-texting.webp?resize=200%2C200&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\"\/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-block sd-like jetpack-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded\" id=\"like-post-wrapper-19348687-28203-67d94015e9216\" data-src=\"https:\/\/widgets.wp.com\/likes\/?ver=14.5-a.5#blog_id=19348687&amp;post_id=28203&amp;origin=hiphopafrican.com&amp;obj_id=19348687-28203-67d94015e9216\" data-name=\"like-post-frame-19348687-28203-67d94015e9216\" data-title=\"Like or Reblog\">\n<h3 class=\"sd-title\">Like this:<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"button\"><span>Like<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"loading\">Loading\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"sd-text-color\"\/><a class=\"sd-link-color\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Darkoo, a South London-based artist of Nigerian descent making waves, released her debut EP titled \u201c2 in 1\u201d. \u201c2 in 1,\u201d the title of the EP, alludes to Darkoo\u2019s dual musical personas.
