The song dubbed Bamba has been getting good airplay since it came out a few hours ago and to be honest, we’re also feeling it.

TID

If you are a fan of both TID and Lulu Diva – like myself – then get ready to be entertained because this is the treat of a lifetime ladies and gentlemen.

Bamba is infectious and if you ask me, it has everything to do with Lulu Diva’s amazing voice. This lady sings like the world is almost coming to an end and that is what she has to do to save humanity.

Put simply, she’s awesome and I swear I can listen to her music all day. This is also a reminder that you should check out her  Extended Play (EP) titled The 4some if you’ve not listened to it yet.

Lulu Diva

As expected, TID also killed it. He has this hoarse yet melodic voice that I can’t seem to get enough of. To add to that, his voice complements that of Lulu Diva and I think they should become a duo. Okay, I’m joking.

The beat and instrumentation on this track are also dope. Other than the fact that they make the song catchy, I know that after listening to Bamba you  will agree with me that they blend well with the voices of both TID and Lulu Diva.

About the video, I think it’s really dope and brilliantly executed. Some of the things that caught my eye, other than its crisp quality of course, are the lighting, styling and flawless scene transitioning.

Watch Bamba below and tell us what you think.

The track titled Come Again, is off Lulu Diva’s forthcoming EP The 4 Some and it has been getting so much love from their fans since it was released a few hours ago.

Eddy Kenzo

Basically, Come Again is about this lass who is really obsessed with her partner and she just want to keep seeing him every now and then.

This jam is really 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 very 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.

Lulu Diva

As expected, Eddy Kenzo also did a good job. Some of his lines are in his native Baganda language and this spices up the song. To add to that, he is also a good vocalist.

If you ask me, Lulu Diva and Eddy Kenzo really 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?

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.

Khaligraph Jones

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.

Lulu Diva

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?

The track dubbed Shoke has been getting a lot of airplay since it was released a few days ago and to be honest we are also feeling it.

Lulu Diva

I’ve always been a huge fan of Lulu Diva and that simply means that I’ve had this jam on replay since it was released because it’s so infectious.

She really has an amazing voice and it’s a bit hoarse and maybe, just maybe, it is the reason why she sounds as good as she does. I would listen to her all day, I kid you not.

Lulu Diva’s voice sounds even better when it is blended with that of Syla who spiced up Shoke by throwing in some French words or is it Lingala? You tell me.

Lulu Diva

This jam is well arranged. It just flows. It is the kind of songs that people should listen to when you are in low spirits because it will definitely get you on your feet and dancing in no time.

The beat and instrumentation on this jam is quite something. The producer did a good job. As you listen to it, you’ll sense a Lingala vibe and at the same time you’ll kind of feel like it’s a Bongo track.

I absolutely love the video. It’s just amazing. The execution was brilliant and if there is something that will keep you glued to your screen the it’s the sexiness of the two artists. Kudos to the videographer.

Watch Shoke by Lulu Diva and Syla below and tell us what you think. Enjoy.

Lulu

Speaking to Dizzim Online, Lulu opened up claiming she will not be associating herself with such rumors since one day she will became a mum and is not willing to have her child read her ‘scandals’ in future.

People will always talk, what depends is how you react. I know that one day I will become a mum so that’s why I dissociate myself from these kinds of rumours. There are many scandals that I have been linked to and I don’t address them as they are

‘She loved eating more than anything else’ Lulu Diva’s mother shares ’embarrassing’ secrets of her childhood 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Tanzanian eye candy Lulu Diva might love music now but while growing up, she loved something totally different.

According to her mother who spoke to a popular newspaper in the country, Lulu loved eating more than studying.

Frustrating

Lulu’s mother told the newspaper that she used to eat her food even before lunch, a thing that used to annoy her greatly because she would return home after finishing her food.

“Huyu Lulu alinisumbua sana, hu­wezi kuamini alikuwa anapenda kula kuliko masomo, nilikuwa nikimuan­dalia ‘paseli’ ya chakula kwa ajili ya kula ikifika mapumziko shuleni lakini cha kushangaza yeye alikuwa akila kabla na kikiisha anarudi nyumbani.” she said. 

Fast forward 20 or so years later, Lulu has become a mega star in Bong and her music is doing well even in Kenya. I guess she stopped focusing on food and focused on music.

The emotional message Lulu Hassan sent former workmate Kanze Dena after Uhuru snatched her away 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Citizen TV Swahili news anchor Lulu Hassan recently lost her work mate, Kanze Dena, to the government after Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday afternoon appointed her as Deputy State House Spokesperson and Deputy Head, PSCU.

On Twitter, Hassan, who has worked with her for years, took to social media to share the new announcement. The two have had a solid friendship that has spanned over a decade on and off the screen.

Kanze Dena and Lulu Hassan

Happy for her

“Alhamdullilah !!!!!Mungu unajuwa mahali umetutoa !!!!!! RESIDENT Kenyatta appoints TV anchor Kanze Dena deputy State House Spokesperson; Munira to head Presidential Library,” posted Lulu immediately after the news broke.

She added later: MUNGU UNAJUWA MAHALI UMETUTOA !!!!!… PRESIDENT Kenyatta appoints Kanze Dena as deputy State House Spokesperson. 

According to the government, Kanze is to spearhead and “take leadership of the core communications teams, including digital, messaging, research, branding and press.”

She posted this emotional goodbye:

“I remember us sitting and giggling nervously when the news was broken to us, that we were the top anchors in the country, 4 years in a row. 4 years of holding our breath, perusing through news of the day before going on air, holding frantic conversations and arguing on random things,“ wrote Lulu.

There is something about our profession that I cannot quite define, but I think it has to do with the fact that your real boss is the audience. And they have the final say on whether you stay. To meet their standards is hard work. But with you, the journey has been gratifying.”

“We kept this news all under wraps for some time because our WHAT NEXT was haunting us as days passed by and yesterday it just dawned on me that woooahh this thing is real …after working together for about 5 years and a few months …I say thank you God for you know what we have been through and how our past looked like…”
