My Father’s Shadow is not a film that tells you what to think about 1993 or about Nigeria’s long arc of disappointments.

It’s a portrait of a father whose love is messy and incomplete, and a nation whose promises frequently arrive late or not at all.

Trimmed down to a lean 10–12 tracks, The Machine could have been a focused, tightly wound project. Instead, its sprawl dulls its edge. And by the time the final track, “HALLELUJAH,” featuring Phyno, Jeriq, and Tobe Nwigwe, rolls in, we are torn between joining the celebration and simply sighing with relief that the album has finally ended.
