This album came out yesterday and to be
honest I was a little skeptical about it because their genre of music is
totally out of my comfort zone rather, what I usually listen to.I must say that these three men are lyrical geniuses,
I guess that’s why people like their songs so much and this makes their songs
very catchy. Their genre actually makes me think of getting in to a matatu to
go home after a long day of running errands
in town but there were these particular songs that I really liked ;
Tamasha!
This song caught my attention because it
has a different melody than what has been used in the other songs. The other
reason is that they integrated kikuyu in it for instance’ tiga wana mani’ which I think really adds flavor to the song. As
the title a state, this song is really suitable for parties because of its
groovy melody people will be dancing to it, even if they don’t understand the
lyrics.
Confirmed...
I really liked this song because the lyrics
are very relatable. If it’s confirming the fuliza, confirming if you have
locked your door or being confirmed as a Christian I think one of these events
one can attest that they have experienced them once in their lives.We also see the word play used throughout the
song to explain the title of the song.
The other songs in the album include Toka Watu, which I actually thought was stealing from people but it actually
stresses the need to be alone, not in the sense of loneliness but rather
solitude. Expressway, which was really catchy, Bae Wako amekusave Aje, tanker
and Stakabadhi.
Although the songs were fascinating ,some
of the lyrics were hard to make sense of
because they focused on the lyrical
flow. However, I commend the artists for their creativity on how their words rhymeand blend together which makes this
particular genre they’re in very unique. The Kenyan music industry needs a
breath of fresh air and this is it. I for sure will add this album to my
playlist and I hope you will too.
