Bella Shmurda joins Logos Olori on “Turn Me On,” a track that opens the “QUALIA” EP and originally surfaced on Bella Shmurda’s own “Sanity” album.
Magicsticks handles production here, building a lively, catchy groove around a hook that carries most of the song’s weight. Logos Olori leads with the memorable line “Na only money turn me on,” and that phrase does a lot of the heavy lifting throughout the record. Also, Bella Shmurda slots in comfortably, adding his own delivery without disrupting the melodic direction Logos Olori sets from the start.
This wasn’t a case of borrowing someone else’s spotlight either. “Turn Me On” opens “QUALIA” as the first track, which says something about how central this collaboration is to the whole project. Logos Olori uses the EP to explore qualia, a philosophical term describing subjective personal experience, and “Turn Me On” introduces that concept through something catchy and immediate rather than heavy-handed.
Bella Shmurda’s Afrobeats instincts pair naturally with the bounce Logos Olori builds his sound around. Neither artist tries to outshine the other, and that balance gives the record an easy, replayable quality.
As the opener on a six-track project that later expands into moodier territory with songs like “Pause” and “Big Python,” “Turn Me On” sets a confident, hook-driven tone for everything that follows.
