Lyrics:
Intro  - Iminza Jingle
Iminzaaaa (La la la la la la la la)

Chorus
[I feel a vibe, feel a vibe, feel a vibe, ey,
When you’re by my side, by my side, by my side, ey] x4

Verse 1
You just say the word and we can get away (gone)
Keys in my hands, ain’t got no plans baby we could be
Sippin G&Ts watching the ocean sway (sip sip)
Make magic out of an ordinary Tuesday

Or switch it up baby and we could lay awake
We’d be having a stay-cay, dance the night away 
Or just taking it easy, 
Cuddled up watching TV
And fall asleep in your arms

(Babe you got that something, 
That good-good that’s bumping
Nothing I won’t do
All that I want is you)

Chorus
[I feel a vibe, feel a vibe, feel a vibe, ey,
When you’re by my side, by my side, by my side, ey] x4

Verse 2
We could chase a bag, or a sunset
Switch it up and not get upset
All I need, one request is you, you, you
(See this curfew’s got me down and I just want you around babe
Curfew’s got me down and I just want you around so)
Plan an early morning drive and we can get away
Or talk the stars to sleep and we can stay awake babe (mmh)

(All that I want is youuuu)

Chorus
[I feel a vibe, feel a vibe, feel a vibe, ey,
When you’re by my side, by my side, by my side, ey] x4

A minute to breathe, a minute to think, a minute to appreciate, a minute to re-center. I hope, that whatever you need that minute for, you'll find it here.

Samalina Speaks is a response piece to Tetu Shani’s track, ‘Samalina’. The downtempo track was done by 21 year old IMI, a Kenyan vocalist, guitarist and amateur bedroom producer. Tetu Shani features on her track, offering his smooth vocals reminiscent of the hook from his track, ‘Samalina’ and adding tribal sounding background vocals.

In Samalina Speaks, IMI alludes to the possibility that perhaps something worse than betrayal happened during Samalina’s time in the big city – perhaps she changed in ways her former friendships cannot handle. Perhaps she has changed in ways too drastic for her relationship with her love to handle, hence her fear-induced distance.

Listen to the inspiration, Tetu Shani’s ‘Samalina’ here:

Initially I wanted to make a cover that mashes up work by Sade and Somi. 'Ginger Me' and 'Sweetest Taboo' were a wild guess that turned out to have a lot of chemistry and I got to add some twists to the rhythms and melodies whilst mashing them up. 
'Juju' by Nameless came to mind as I was playing with the Sade x Somi mash up on my guitar. Considering the three songs, 'Taboo' was an apt theme; seductive and mysterious. The last piece of the puzzle coincidentally happened as I was walking in Nairobi and thinking about the set, when 'Taboo' by Phy started playing on my shuffle playlist, et voila! The sequel to 'Theme: Nairobi' was complete.
