To start with, let us look at the lyrics and try to understand the deeper meaning of Moyo Kiburi.

Moyo wangu unataka Unataka unavyotaka Unataka unavyotaka Ila chunga usije leta maafa. He is talking of a heart that is driving him crazy.

Unachagua pa kutua Pa kuchutama pa kukaa Pa kusimama pa kutembea Pa kukimbia moyo. In addition, the heart is choosy and it makes decisions on where to land and stay.

Moyo wangu jeuri Moyo wangu kiburi Aah jeuri moyo wangu kiburi Aah jeuri moyo wangu kiburi. Also, the heart is bossy and very chossy.

Moyo nakupa cheo We ndo mmliki wa hisia zangu Yaani kama mti We ni shina langu (Shina langu ooh). In this case, the heart he has given the heart power to decide.

Moyo Kiburi has been shot and given the best treatment. The video is so good and very interesting. It has a unique feel and that is what makes it sell.

The audio and is well done and is not competing with the beats. The thought of this song being played at a wedding is a great one.

Aslay is back with Yayah Prince on Yayah’s new jam Donyo. The Tanzanian singers are already hitting the airwaves with these latest release. Also the duo just gave the best collaboration to their fans,

With Aslay on the mic he has proved that nothing can go wrong as he lets his voice do the talking. Yayah on the other hand is what one would call perfect voice.

Singer Aslay has been keeping his fans busy in the recent past and him taking on this collaboration is a good growth strategy.

In Donyo, Aslay and Yayah have given it their all. Although the message is not what one would expect from the talented singers, they still hit the nail.

The hidden meaning in ‘Donyo’

To start with, Donyo is a love song that is describing the process of love making. There is this line where they are saying; “Shikwa midadi kwa sauti ya kinanda Namba nane yake figa, kaniweka kwa kiganja Ananipa vya uvunguni na sio daladala Nyama wazi wazi, kitanda chetu ndo kiwanja.”

In addition, Aslay and Yayah go ahead to talk of how the girl is arousing him sexually; “Zima kibatari Dada wewe tuanze safari(Dada wee) Maharuani, yashanipanda kichwani(Honey wewe) Baby, baby move for me sio kimoja chali(Baby wewe) Maharuani, yaani wewe.”

Relevance of the song

Although one might judge this young singers from their content, you realize that it is well hidden and one will have to struggle to get the message in Donyo.

Donyo is a perfect example of the kind of music every artiste is doing be it globally and also locally. The song is relevant to the middle aged who mostly get the hidden words. It is not a song that can be played on live radio but can do better in a club.

Also, Donyo video is well done and the beats and audio well delivered.

In conclusion, Aslay and Yayah Prince get a rating of 5/10 in Donyo.

Aslay’s new jam ‘Chuki’ is worth your time

Posted on July 30, 2019July 30, 2019 by Catherine Nderitu

Aslay has released a new single dubbed Chuki. This jam is just great from the introduction. A lot of feelings and emotions are brought out. The Tanzanian hit maker has really done something in this Chuki.

Message in ‘Chuki’

Chuki is a Swahili word meaning hate. He talks about hatred from human beings who are planning bad things. Actually, this is what a normal human being goes through. Also, there is a line where he says that the haters are more than his money and age.

Far into the jam, Aslay invokes the name of God asking him to fight for him. The jam feels like more of a prayer.

In addition to the good message, Aslay delivers Chuki in a way that you are going to shade tears. He says that if he does not talk to God who else will he cry onto.

It seems that in this song he still needs help of the dead mum. I mean see how mothers are great pillars. Naturally when things are happening you find someone calling their mom’s first.

Production

Firstly, the audio production was great. The beats and the audio mixing was dope. You will not hear any hitch in the sound. Perfect is the best description. In as much as Aslay has done a couple of songs, Chuki beats them all.

Most time wwhen one listens to a song, you’ll find them dancing to the beats or shake their head. Well, Chuki is that song that you won’t even realize that you are singing along. In addition to the good production, Aslay did some good kind of art. The lyrics are so easy and well written.

If music makes talks to you, this is one song that you should listen to. It is a combination of good art and message. In conclusion Chuki gets a rating of 7/10.

Aslay’s Nyang’anyang’a shows love in the air

Posted on April 1, 2019April 1, 2019 by Catherine Nderitu

Aslay at it again with a a new hit Dubbed Nyang’anyang’a. Nyang’anyang’a was directed by Justin Campos. It is entertaining and the beats are on another level. I am in love with this jam. The song simply means you excite me. I am in love with Aslay’s voice, i would give anything to listen to it.

The production of the video was amazing, the venue looks great and the video is clear. Sound is well catered for. The title of the song is well brought out through repetition. Umeniweza nyang’anyang’a (aiyo) Nyang’anyang’a beiby ooh Sijateleza nyang’anyang’a (wouwo) Mi kwako nyang’anyang’a (mpenzi njoo) It makes it easier for the viewer to grasp the message.

” Oooh, uchungu wangu unaujua wewe Uchungu wako naujuwaga mimi mwenyewe Pilika pilika za kuku na mwewe Adui ndo inazo walazi wasitusumbue” .In this verse Aslay says that the lover knows the pain he goes through and he as well understands her.He goes on to say that haters are on the run but they will not disturb them. I like this verse,symbolism has been used when he says Pilika pilika za kuku na mwewe to explain the speed.

I am in love with the verse; “Wanapata taabu wanavyoona tunapendana tunawapa adhabu mpaka maji wanaikama mama ma” It feels good when people are struggling to contain the hurt from another persons love.

As per the lyrics the song can also be played in clubs, weddings or any social gatherings, this is because the words are not vulgar. This shows some maturity. Although the song is good, I feel like it’s target audience is limited to the age of 18-25. This is the only age bracket that would really understand what Nyang’anyang’a means.

Although the song is nice the dancer in a yellow dress seems to have more enegy than anyone else, she gives life to the song. I like this. I would give the song a rating of 6/10. To me it would have been brought out better if more energy is put on the dancers.
