Haters will say this is not a decent way to break into the local music scene, we, on the other hand, we say ‘shenanigans’ to that. If one thing, this song is definitely not economic with the right kind of vibe; the afro popish -R&B mood is evidently the more auspicious mood for the message. Sure, the chorus and the hook are moderately repetitive, but can we just celebrate the…
Although we’d love to hear less of the infamous and overused trap snare, this is what we are happy about; the joint has no business whatsoever with a repetitive and monotonous chorus (which I assume, is always an attempt to produce something catchy). But then again a chorus (of any form, really) would’ve been nice – not all of us will be able to bust these bars on karaoke night,…
Perhaps we can start this off by unpacking what the word “Mbama” actually means, just in case you don’t get the meaning from the song itself. A “Mbama” is a slap, and so yeah there is no hidden message to decrypt whatsoever. The song slaps (allegedly). Period! There is so much going on in this song, you might just get lost within the layers of sirens and machine guns (and…
As if this has not been preached over and over again: Tamy is not just a leading female in the Zimbabwean music scene, she is a leading voice; she is a force to be reckoned with and she will be heard! Tamy Moyo is not here to play, the evidence is overwhelming! Our ears are anxiously aching for her upcoming sophomore album and her latest single Zviroto is not doing…
The combination of Bantu and Dr Chaii has always been known to serve mind-blowing hits such as “Jackie Chan” which got featured in the FIFA 19 soundtrack, which is a big deal because the EA soundtrack team does not mess around. Dr Chaii and Bantu are basically in the big leagues as they both have been nominated for a GRAMMY for their work on some of the globe’s biggest hits.…
Imagine a world without The Seven Wonders or a world without the Big Five; ladies and gentleman the stakes have never been higher, and personally I am petrified by the whole concept of it being a possibility. It is not every day that you hear a song about the environment and wildlife (especially one that actually sounds good), but then again this song carries a long overdue and relevant message;…
The stimulating, high-spirited and uncompromising “Campaign” captures the struggles that come with a hot-but-hard-to-get situation (an impediment most of us are likely to go through at some point in our lives). I foresee “Campaign” haunting all radio stations all the way into the new decade; as it should! This song certainly does not play around; it’s as if it’s here to ask the question “What’s the limit of a vibe?” Charlie Kay and Ammara Brown must have gone all out in creating this multifaceted piece; the creative juices must’ve been flowing copiously. You can tell by the way they just coursed through the track; unapologetically and fierce, as if creating bangers is their second nature. The beat sounds like it was influenced by Drake’s “One Dance” and there’s nothing wrong…
