The song begins with the seductive voice of the African Prince Bienaime of Sauti Soul and for a moment you imagine that it is the usual Sauti Soul music following.However as the chorus ends while still shaking to the beautiful slow rhythmic beats Wendy follows in to cut Bienaime's introduction like an African woman turning down a date from a perfect gentleman.the following lyrics will just take off with you.They sing like they are having a brawl whilst communicating to you at the same time in a deep intimate African way
Wacha Kucheza Hard To Get,Njoo Twende Date Ya Supaghetti,
Kwenye Corner Laico Regency,Uone Nyota Za Mapenzi
(Wendy Kimani)
Matamshi Yako Ya Kishenzi,Mimi Sili Supaghetti,
Nasiendi Laico Regency,Kimbelembele Ugali Mbichi,

I have something with this song especially the way these two artists sync nicely like they were just meant to be .
The beautiful Swahili done in the bloking of this whole song is what makes the message of this poem come out clearly.
The video adds to the whole quality of rendition.It is not overdone,a simple modern African setting which gives a marvelous narration easy to understand and relate to with total ease irrespective.
What you will love about this song too is that while it has taken a modern perspective in production,it has captured the African setting and issues well blended in modernity soul music with a carefully selected setting costume and character profile.It is just a masterpiece of African Soul.
I give it 4 stars ...in fact i put it together with the likes of Jill Scott and Sade who are the gurus of soul music.Here is the song

i am huge fan of the song... but i find the message in the video pretty ambiguous...good work from both singers tho'
