Don't like his voice that much in particular, but he wrote such a beautiful song and his voice does fit in it with Kuu as a duet. His demo version is pretty bad though with his vocals.

And honestly for every artiste that Kuu has collaborated from then until now , she has a reason or 2 in wanting to work with them
Not all collaborations she did are great but it doesn't give you the right to put down whoever collaborates with her
I don't do that , at all

I have
no shame in putting down an "artist" who has zero originality in what he does. I don't really care what Koda's reasons were, or whether you approve of it or not. I like Passing By, but I do not like his parts in the song, and certainly believe it would have been a stronger track without him. I feel the same about the PV, which I absolutely loved for Koda's parts. And I don't like anything else I have ever heard or seen of him. He's just not someone with any longevity or genuine talent. He's a guy capitalizing off another artist's style and sound, both for performing and for image. I think it's tacky and classless.
Koda, however, did an amazing job on Passing By. I still like the song for her parts. I still love the PV for her parts. I just wish I could take an eraser to the B Howard parts.
If you don't believe me about him being tacky, go look him up. He has no noteworthy production or songwriting credits, no noteworthy performances, his solo efforts have flopped for six consecutive years, and he's been in the business for 14 years. If he had any longevity or originality, it would've come out in that time, but he's still just another low effort attempt compared to just about anyone Koda has collaborated with. Passing By is a nice song without him. With him, it just hurts the experience.
