It’s the wanting-to-follow-the-crowd phenomenon that so often causes public numbers to grow so exponentially, favouring a particular brand, whether its toothpaste, snickers or a song like this one. I always keep referring back to Nameless old hit “nansizia” and how it caught a lot of flack when it first came out. The so-called “industry specialists” had predicted that hell would freeze kwanza before Nasinzia becomes a hit. They said it was “too slow” among other things and they criticized the repetitive “nasinzia nikikuwaza…oH..Oh” hook. Fast-forward three months later, the song has become obese all of a sudden kila mtu yuko down-with-it, Nameless is riding high on a piece that was once despised. I didn’t think much of “Let him go” when it chomokad. I wish I could’ve been able to predict and say maze I think Let him go will be a hit but I couldn’t coz it sounded normal at first mpaka everyone else started liking it. Now, I too I’m part of the “herd” and listening to it closely reveals a production mastery. I happen to know the producers. They said they simply wanted to come up with a simple, catchy flavor of a gospel song but they too were humongously surprised at how big the song became. This is still the biggest gospel joint in Kenya and big up to Mike Sakata and Mr Carena for the tracks, mixing, mastering, instrumentation and vocal processing. Big up to MOG for keeping it real in the faith and kila mtu should remember that MOG used to be 4 guys but the 4th jamaa wasn’t patient enough to wait for legitimate success. He went back to being a thug and was killed in action. We’ve all heard of the “herding instinct” {no pun intended there}.
