Seconds later she came up to me and was like how is it out there, how are things… Was she actually nervous about performing???? The reality is yes, the lady was second guessing herself. To me that was like wow, damn first she is praying which means she is actually taking every single step she is about to do on that stage so seriously, unlike other local artists. And second, was the fact that as much as she is good, she still doesn’t believe in herself as much and wants to prove it to herself. it was an awesome moment for me,to see her rip the stage next to her. This song is her latest release, ” missing my baby” I think its a good joint, well prepared and lyrics are okay… Amani you will go places if you stick to making GOOD Music.

I to feel him stretch his voice fully was one of those experiences I was like wow, nameless actually can sing. Personally I like Nameless because of his lyrics, I think they are just straight forward – Kama Bogi Benda, how many artists do you know who can take you that back. Now the other part of this song is that it was produced by GIDO Kibukosya – just in case anyone doubted his production skills I think this song kinda shuts up all who thought GIDO or Suzzane had lost their Mojo… Honestly I didn’t really want to put this song up here, because it doesn’t really feel or sound like an Afrosoul song, however I think for me this is probably one of NAMELESS’s best work by far.

This was the first and last song that came from her, she has since then been caught up with doing gigs and maintain other things… I think she is also part of a group of women called the NDIVAS (these chics are bad news, included the likes of Mercy Myra, Achieng Abira and the likes..)
