ZIMDANCEHALL’s hot rod, Enzo Ishall seems to be falling out
of favour as he is deviating from the ‘Stallion’ most local music lovers had
fallen in love with.
On Monday, the Kanjiva hit-maker released a new single
titled Highest Score which was accompanied by a video on YouTube.
But, according to reviews from fans, it seems the video
that was directed by South Africa-based Buffalo Souljah is Enzo’s lowest score
as it is being heavily slated. Some said they feel it has Satanism element
because of the demons which are portrayed and that he could have done way
better, had he not left Chillspot Records.
Listening to Highest Score, it is clear that Enzo, who is
now signed under controversial Prophet Passion’s Passion Java Records, is
changing his music style and trying to adopt what seems like international
trends. He is failing dismally as that simply is not his style. Highest Score
is far away from Zimdancehall as it has a feel of Jamaican dancehall and an
auto-tuned voice (a mix up of Alkaline, Tommy Lee and Mavado).
The video itself has poor graphics that depict demons and
hell, something which fans did not take well.
Commenting on the video, social media influencer
Tatelicious called Enzo a failure and suggested that he leaves the prophet’s
record label as she feels it is tainting his image and making him deviate from
his ways.
“Dear Enzo, please divorce yourself from Java. People
related to your music because you were coming from humble beginnings. I know
you don’t have O level and your sense of reasoning capacity is a bit dull,”
posted Tatelicious on social media.
A lot concurred with Tatelicious saying Enzo needs to
revert to his initial style.
“Go back to your humble beginnings and only God will lift
you up. Do not trust in wolves who come in sheep’s clothing. That video is full
of darkness. I wouldn’t be proud to display such a dark video, especially to
your younger fans.
“You’re a public figure now. Be careful who you mix with.
You’re going places, drop the wolves and work with God and His Angels, they
will lift you up. The Devil comes to kill, steal and destroy Enzo. We pray for
any spirit of destruction to be destroyed in Jesus name,” wrote one Geneva
Muchenje.
With a lot of negative feedback on the video’s YouTube
comments section, Enzo decided to turn off the comments so that people would
not read them. Instead, he shared an image which showed that the video was
among the top two on the YouTube trending list, to which people commented
saying it was because a lot was being said about the video so more and more
people are viewing it.
Explaining the video, Enzo said: “I wanted to express the
challenges we face daily as human beings, but still choosing to get up and
fight till we hit the highest score.”
However, some suggested that Enzo was rebranding and is
actually on the right path.
“Change is always resistant young man. Some will fight
this, but give it time, they’ll celebrate the song. Hold on and keep focusing.
I didn’t like the fact that you blocked the comments section, to me it shows
you just want people to talk good, of which it is impossible. You can’t win
everyday man, we all learn from our mistakes,” commented Tinashe Kashangura.
