MOYO - Atemi feat. Lady Jaydee [VIDEO & AUDIO]
Kenya’s
power vocalist Atemi and Tanzanian songbird: Lady
Jaydee release MOYO - a bonafide East African love song. This is
Atemi's first song collaboration with another lady. She says, “We
really hit it off! I respect Lady Jaydee very much; she’s a talented
artist and an easy to work with African singer. She really put her all
into the song.”
MOYO is
a song about different love situations. No matter how tempestuous,
passionate or romantic love is in all the scenarios in the song; love is
love. Written by Atemi Oyungu, MOYO is Atemi’s debut single from her
upcoming third album. The song has been produced by renown Kenyan
producer R-Kay, also producer of Atemi’s USIJALI featuring Delvin Savara
of Sauti Sol. Atemi says of the zouk-esque MOYO, “This is a sound that
I have been trying out and like very much. But fear not my neo soul
fans - there will also still be a touch of soul on the upcoming album!”
