We promised in the begining of the week that we would have some heat and some fire from Amani. Attached is her new hit sing called 2nite (Tonight). I totally like this song, these are the kind of songs that remind me of Kenya – I like the whole English and sheng integration with swahili. I personally like Amani’s style she sticks to her roots and keeps it real with what she knows how to do best.
This song reminds me of some maasai sounds and some kitui sounds – Am not sure who the production is by but none the less its a good tune. The first time Ive listend to a whole song and no Ulopa has been dropped or Ogopa in the whole song… “Tonight am letting go” GOOD TUNE, BIG TUNE…
Enjoy the track

Amani – Missing My Baby

Amani hasn’t released any new material officially yet, but we’ve had some of her classic songs in our database just sitting there – with no love. This is one of my favorites the beat, the guitar strings, the harmony and her delivery just all came together with style and class.
Sometimes am surprised how Wahu yanked that MTV base award – truthfully I have nothing against Wahu, but not with that song she sang, I honestly cant believe Africa voted for that song – I wasnt comfortable with that song being the marking scheme for Kenyan R&B or Kenyan vocal talent… I refuse, with all the love I have for her. Kwani what happened to the other songstresses in Kenya, people like PAM, Sanaa, Mercy Myra, Amani ,June Gachuhi – Then you have people Suzanne Owiyo, and Achieng Abura (who I think is the illest singer Kenya has – I saw her perform at Carnivore for like 2 hours straight mad respect). Anyway let me stop bitching…
Either way here is one of Amani’s classic joints – enjoy
