REVIEW: Fans Two Cents On Kenzo's 'Na Bado'
7 October 2014
What makes a good video? A question I bet most of you if not all have had to mull over. Is it the director? The artists on deck or simply the entire crew? How I wish I was omniscient, I would have saved you the hours of thought and answered you straight up.
But for now, let’s hear what fans have to say about Kenzo Matata’s new video, ‘Na Bado’ whixh he released 3 weeks ago and try see if their slant will help us solve the above seemingly eternal question.
“I love Kenzo’s work. He always seems to know his type of crowd and serves them with exactly what they want. He is very original. This video is simply breathtaking! The director is on my list in case I ever want to do a video. I love it!” declared a fan
“Damn Those Kids! I’m so in love with everything to do with this song; the flow, the message the chemistry between the two, the art pieces…. Everything! These two made it so lively! Good Work” toted another
“As much as I loved the visuals, I didn’t like the plot at all! It was so flat! With such a good director I expected nothing but perfect execution. But what I see is the old Kenzo dancing in a new body. I wish he switched his thinking a bit. The director should have paid better attention to the song for a better plot- which Kenzo should have assisted in. I’m disappointed!” affirmed a music analyst
“Herbal records are simply the best! That video is superb! Nimeiona mara kama tatu sasa. Simple yet so fulfilling. One quarrel however is with the director and the rest of the crew responsible for the different role plays. There is so much more they could have done with such a song instead of turning Kenzo and Maida into dancing monkeys. “ beefed up another.
Kenzo who termed the music piece as a joint project, will be following up this video with even more. I’m sure he appreciates the above sentiments and yours too would be. After all, reception is everything.
