Otile Brown ventures into Lingala in new collabo with Jovial dubbed ‘Amor’ (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

Kenyan singer Jacob Obunga, alias Otile Brown, has dropped another jam with Afro-fusion singer Jovial.

Dubbed Amor, their new collabo was released barely a month after the two talented debuted their mega hit dubbed Zichune.

As the title suggests, their new song is a love ballad. Amor is a Spanish word that means love.

As expected, both Otile Brown and Jovial really came through in this jam. Their vocal delivery was really on point.

One of the many things that I love about Jovial is that she can change her voice from sweet-sounding to this rough but sexy voice.

Of course, we can’t fail to appreciate the Lingala vibe in the song. Maybe, just maybe, it’s the reason why this jam is an instant hit.

I love the simple shoot locations that they picked for this song. It really gives it context. In of the scenes, Jovial is seen feeding Otile Brown at a construction site. Does it get any better than that, honestly?.

Amor was directed by X Antonio and I think he did a great job, especially with the scene transitioning.

The beat, which was produced by the one and only Vicky Pon Dis, is also pretty decent. A few seconds before  the song ends, from 3:02, you’ll hear this sweet Lingala instrumental. It’s just lovely!

Jovial has been putting in a lot of work lately and believe you me, it won’t take long before she becomes  a household name.

Watch Amor below and tell us what you think.

Kenyan singer Jacob Obunga, better known as Otile Brown, is back with a new banger barely two months after he released Japo Kidogo alongside Khaligraph Jones.

Otile’s new song titled Zichune is a collabo with Afro-fusion singer Jovial who has been topping charts with a collabo that she released with Arrow Bwoy about a month ago dubbed Dekeza.

Zichune is a Swahili word that loosely translates to “pluck them” but in the context of this song it probably means “take it all”.

The song is about a man and a woman who are in love. The lad can’t get enough of her smile and curves. From the look of things, he is ready to risk it all for her.

However, the woman is really worldly pleasures. She wants an iPhone XS, a trip to Paris, a Channel bag, money and what have you. Seemingly, the chap does not mind and says “take it all.”

I was really impressed by the lyrical prowess of both Otile Brown and Jovial. On top of that, their voices were also pleasant to the ear. I kept replaying the song and you can’t even blame me.

My favourite line with is when Otile Brown says, “Sema we ni poko(poko), poko, (poko), nyoko kama mzigo uko soko(soko), soko, soko (soko), soko Sema acha longo longo nisije regret (nyoo), nisije regret, acha fuka fuko, foko, foko, foko, lazima atoboke mitoboko, boko, boko, boko, mwenyewe umejaa kwenye mboko, mboko, mboko, mboko (aah…sawa pole mama)..”

I couldn’t understand that line, I just loved the rhymes.

The song was produced by the one and only Vicky Pon Dis. After mentioning that name, I don’t really need to tell you that the beat really slaps really hard. Point is, he did a decent job.

The video, which was directed by Hanscana, was also on point. I not only loved the scene transitions, the colour co-ordination was also good.

Watch Zichune below and tell us what you think. You might need some good earphones for this!
