Fake – Roberto ft Rosa Ree
Roberto and Rosa Ree hit the nail in the head with this musical masterpiece. ‘Fake’ talks of many things and touches on the thorny issue of true love which is rare to find. It goes away with a caveat to discern fake love and fake relationships because they end up hurting.
Sensation - Cleo Ice Queen
So good was the video of the song that it garnered more than 300K views on YouTube in just two weeks after its release. Just like its names suggest, Cleo Ice Queen went deep into love and affection in the song; a reason why it became an instant hit. Love is a thorny subject, yet we are all fixated by it.
Yo Maps – So Chabe
‘So Chabe’ is a love song with a classic moral lesson about life. In the song, Yo Maps depicts a picture of a young man with a big vision. Despite living humbly in the village with his wife who he cherishes and spends time with in the farm, he manages to make huge strides in success but he never forgets her. He eventually built her a dream house in the city with all the great things that come with money.
Fragile Heart – Kantu
‘Fragile Heart’ is a special dedication to men out there who are in the habit of playing around with women’s feelings at their pleasure. In the song, Kantu speaks from life’s experience about love; either by her own account or from the account of others because these are real challenges that always come up in relationships. The aftermath is a broken heart that cannot be mended once it is broken.
