Moreover, it is the second album released by the singer since the Federal High Court of Lagos lifted Chocolate City's injunction against him. The album was preceded by the single "Fe Mi", which was released in the month leading to the album's release. The LP's material includes the recurring theme of freedom. Critical reception to Tabula Rasa was overwhelmingly positive, with many critics deeming it a "classic". Background and compositionBrymo started recording Tabula Rasa following the release of his third studio album, Merchants, Dealers & Slaves (2013).[2] Sammy Sage Hasson was originally announced as the only artist that would be feature on the album. Brymo's manager, Lanre Lawal, told The Punch that Brymo was working on an album for 2014.[3] Brymo decided to name the album Tabula Rasa after hearing the judge used it in a speech.[4] In "Back to Love", Brymo freely expressed himself spiritually, emotionally and creatively. In "Fe Mi", he pleads for physical love; the song features a laser sharp guitar and rhythmic claps. "Prick No Get Shoulder", a metaphor for enjoying life's pleasures with caution, depicts a condition of being. In "Dear Child", Brymo narrates the fickleness of life as well as the unconditional love between a grandmother and her grandchild. "Ję Lé O Sinmi" (Yoruba: Kindergarten) is a memoir of Brymo's past as an innocent child in the daycare, to that of a mature man. "Alone" is a spoken word track about discovering one's self. "Never Look Back" is a compelling charge to owning up and taking responsibility. In "Jungle Fever", Brymo sings about the unrest of the populace; the latter part of the song is a metaphor for being angry at the status quo. "1 Pound" is an Afrobeat song with trademark horns and meandering guitar licks. "Again" is a song about starting love all over again; it is composed of grand drums and a choir like hum.[5][6][7] Singles and other releases"Fe Mi" was released as the album's lead single on September 18, 2014.[5] Ayo Onikoyi of Vanguard describes the song as "a soft traditional ballad".[6] On March 6, 2015, Brymo released the St. Immaculate-directed documentary for the song "1 Pound". A teaser of the documentary was released on March 2, 2015.[7] Brymo premiered the documentary on Pulse TV and said the song is about informing people about local and international currencies. On March 30, 2015, he released the Godson KC Uma-directed music video for the song "Ję Lé O Sinmi".[8] Critical reception{{Album ratings| align=right | rev1 = NotJustOk | rev1Score = 10/10 | rev2 = Jaguda | rev2Score = 9/10 | rev3 = Pulse Nigeria | rev3Score = {{rating|4.5|5}} | rev4 = Should You Bump This | rev4Score = {{rating|4.5|5}} | rev5 = TooXclusive | rev5Score = {{rating|4.5|5}} }}Tabula Rasa received widespread critical acclaim from music critics and consumers. Tola Sarumi of NotJustOk gave the album a perfect rating of 10/10, praising Brymo's delivery and performance.[9] Jim Donnett gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, describing it as a "brilliant compositional effort made to evoke one's senses."[10] Ayomide Tayo of Pulse Nigeria gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5 and commended its quality, production, and sound.[11] A writer for TayoTV commented on the album, stating, "his songs may not focus as much on partying, women, and drinking, but as times change so does music. He is still having fun, whether singing a ballad, doing spoken words, or just letting everyone know how much ass he kicks".[12] The duo at Should You Bump This reviewed the album and stated that it is a "must have for music lovers worldwide"; the duo also stated that Brymo is "hands down the best male artiste in Nigeria."[13] A writer for Jaguda gave the album a score of 9 out of 10, describing it as "a genuine gift to all lovers of good music."[14] Track listing{{Track listing| collapsed = | headline = | extra_column = Producer(s) | total_length = 38:00 | all_writing = Olawale Ashimi | writing_credits = | lyrics_credits = | music_credits = | title1 = Back to Love | note1 = | writer1 = | extra1 = Mikky Me | length1 = 3:42 | title2 = Fe Mi | note2 = | writer2 = | extra2 = Mikky Me | length2 = 3:25 | title3 = Prick No Get Shoulder | note3 = | writer3 = | extra3 = Mikky Me | length3 = 3:30 | title4 = Dear Child | note4 = | writer4 = | extra4 = Mikky Me | length4 = 3:32 | title5 = Ję Lé O Sinmi | note5 = | writer5 = | extra5 = Mikky Me | length5 = 3:10 | title6 = Never Look Back | note6 = | writer6 = | extra6 = Mikky Me | length6 = 3:21 | title7 = Alone | note7 = | writer7 = | extra7 = Mikky Me | length7 = 3:01 | title8 = Jungle Fever | note8 = | writer8 = | extra8 = Mikky Me | length8 = 3:14 | title9 = 1 Pound | note9 = | writer9 = | extra9 = Mikky Me | length9 = 3:34 | title10 = Nothing's Ever Promised Tomorrow... | note10 = | writer10 = | extra10 = Mikky Me | length10 = 3:01 | title11 = Again | note11 = | writer11 = | extra11 = Mikky Me | length11 = 3:45 }} Release history
