She Is My Woman is Murphy William’s loose, funky and spontaneous call to
the dance floor. It’s an infectious collection of good-time tunes that
the band seem to be enjoying as much as the listener. Williams was a
stalwart of the Nigerian music scene, joining Godwin Omabuwa’s Cassanova
Dandies at 17 before becoming one of the two lead vocalist of The
Apostles from Aba. He was famous for his distinctive four octave voice, a
voice that legendary label boss, Godwin Tabansi decided was perfectly
suited to the new disco sound that was gripping Nigeria. The title track
gets the party started with Felix Liberty providing the good-time
guitar riffs, Friday Pozzo on congas and Sonny Enang keeping it light on
keyboards. The vibe is tight and bright, breathy a breezy charm into
disc-tied versions of Igbo folk songs ‘Selense’ and ‘Ima Obi O.’ The
undoubted highlight of the album is ‘Get On Up’, a certifiable disco
classic that would slay any dance floor anywhere in the world. It’s
funky, it’s fun and by the time the lyrics implore the listener to get
on up and dance their feet have already been convinced by the music. Put
it on and it’s guaranteed to get any party started. - Peter Moore
