The jam dubbed Sawa, which is a Swahili word that means okay, is off Lulu Diva’s forthcoming EP titled The 4 Some and it has been getting a lot of love from their fans since it was released a few hours ago.

This track is about a woman who is wondering why her partner keep chasing other women. She says no one has ever like he does and that he has all the things that she wants but things are just not working out.

I really love this song. It’s so infectious. I’ve listened to it a couple of times since it was released and every time I play it, it’s like I am hearing it for the first time. Yup it’s that good.

Lulu Diva has an amazing voice – the kind that most men, including myself, wouldn’t mind listening to all day even if it’s just a casual conversation. She also knows how to control it.

As expected, Khaligraph totally aced it. His verse was sick, especially the random rhymes like the part where he says, “Naona umechizishwa na huyu boy wa Western, the way I gat the sauce unaweza niita Peptang.”

If you ask me, Lulu Diva and Khaligraph Jones complement one another and they should do more songs together in the near future.

The beat and instrumentation on Sawa are impeccable. It is the kind of songs that will get you dancing from the time you hit the play button until it ends and that is not a bad thing, is it?

Masauti drops sizzling jam tagged ‘Sawa’ alongside Kigoto (Video)

I am sure you are all aware that Mombasa-bred singer Mohammed Ali Said, better known as Masauti, is one talented judging by his previous releases. However, what you may not know is that he has dropped a new jam.

Actually, the track dubbed Sawa is not so new seeing as it was first released three years ago but I am not here to spoil the party so I’ll go ahead and review it.

Listening to this jam assured me that Masauti has always been a good vocalist. He has a voice that gets you hooked to a song, gender notwithstanding.

If you are the kind of person who often complains about Kenyan musicians for one reason or the other then perhaps you should listen to Masauti because he sings from the heart and the content is not risque.

I don’t know if it’s just me but I felt of felt like Masauti was using different voices in this track and I’m not saying this because I don’t like it. On the contrary, it’s very pleasant to the ears. Yup.

To be honest,I really do  not know which version of Masauti I like more, this old one or the new one because they are both awesome. Anyway, you tell me.

Kigoto was also outstanding on this track. Notably, he also has an amazing voice and to add to that, it blends so well with that of that of Masauti.

The lyricism on Sawa is also impeccable. If you are the lovey dovey kind, I am sure you’ll have this song on replay for a very long time. Wanna bet?

One of the things that will not escape your attention as you listen to this jam is the instrumentation. I love it and is it just me or does it have a hint of Taarab?
