The much-anticipated collabo between Nadia Mukami and Mohammed Ali Said, popularly known as Masauti, is finally out and believe you me it’s a classic!

The song dubbed Lola premiered a few hours ago on YouTube and it has already garnered 20,000 views. Chances are it will hit 100,000 views in 24 hours. Do you want to bet?

Lola is a Swahili word that loosely translates to “I see you”. The song is about a lady and a gentleman who fell in love when they were young. They saw each other through difficult times and acquired wealth together.

However, their love turns sour when the man gets involved with another woman. His partner only came to learn of the affair on social media. As such, she’s wondering why he didn’t tell her that he had fallen in love with another person.

As expected, Nadia and Masauti both showcased their lyrical prowess in the song with smooth lines that pleasant to the ear. I kept hitting the replay button and you can’t even blame me.

The song’s chorus is easy to remember. It goes like, “Lola, yamemwagika hayazoleki lola X 2, lola yamemwagika bass, lola sasa umeniacha na nani, lola rudi kwangu mimi, lola sasa umeniacha na nani mama yoh, lola rudi kwangu mimi.

I was particularly impressed by the video which was directed by Deska Torres of Platnumz Films. Not only are the shots are perfect, the scene transitions are also good.

The beat for Lola was made by Motif Di Don who is arguably one of the best producers in Kenya right now. He really came through with a decent beat for this song. I wasn’t disappointed.

Watch Lola here and tell us what you think.
