Super girl - Waksy

Two lovers carried by different currents, drift into each other and decide to never drift apart again. 

Lyrics:

Intro:
I had a dream about you babe
We floated through clouds of misty grey
There was a sea of green below,
are we drifters or shall we call this place home?

Verse 1:
Since we met, you've been the realest so refreshing
I feel like I have known you for so long
I can be myself when I'm with you

Rest assured, the feelings mutual I can't ignore
That I'm a better person when I'm with you
Can't imagine myself with someone else

Pre-Chorus:
Come on babygirl let's lose this crowd I've made reservations for two
Tonight's a Friday it's supposed to be boy's night out 
but I think I'd rather kick it with you

Come on babyboy make your move I surrender myself to you
There's chemistry between us I can't explain
My reaction is to stick with you
I think that imma stick with you

Chorus:
I've been waiting for you to come clean 
About your love for me
I love you too!

Verse 2:
You give me butterflies
Sweaty palms when I'm by your side
Make me feel like I've never loved before
My search has come to an end
Your my bestfriend

When we dance
I close my eyes and I breathe you in
Just wanna say that if this is just a dream
Please don't wake me up
Don't wake me up

Prechorus:
Come on babygirl let's lose this crowd..

Chorus:
I've been waiting for you to come clean...

Outro:
I had a dream about you babe..

Peace Like A River Flows

Can love survive betrayal? Samalina is the story of a village girl who betrays her lover for the bright lights and temptations of the city. 

Lyrics:
Pre-Chorus
Who are these unfamiliar faces?
We had love, we had laughter
now it's gone (repeat).

Verse one:
Samalina ever since 
you came from the city I've seen
you are very concerned with other things
behind the curtains of your eyes 
I see the silhouettes of liars haunting me

Samalina ever since you came from the city I've seen
you are very concerned with other things
you have forgotten the ancient word
don't pick up coal or you'll get burned
keep the fire in the fireplace


Pre-Chorus

Chorus:
Samalina ekokoli
Samalina ekokoli
Samalina ekokoli
Samalina (repeat)

What will I do? What will I do? I'll find another one just like you (repeat)

Verse two:
Samalina ever since
you came from the city I've seen 
you don't call, you don't contact me
yet by the sweat of my brow
by my panga and my plow
I bought you a ticket to Nairobi

Samalina ever since 
you came from the city I've seen
you don't call, you don't contact me
I thought your love was heaven sent
so I was hell-bent on being your savior

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Samalina

Tetu Shani- Samalina (Prod. By Saint Evo)

Would you let my worn out hands, hold you?
Would you let my weary eyes, see through?
Would you let my dying lungs, breathe you?
Would you let me torn apart?
Would you let me love you.

Oh please let my raging heart, hold you,
Oh please let my wasting thoughts, see through,
Oh please let my wounded soul, breathe you,
Oh please let me torn apart,
Oh please let me love you.

Oh please let my worn out hands, hold you,
Oh please let my weary eyes, see through,
Oh please let my dying lungs, breathe you,
Oh please let me torn apart,
Oh please let me love you.

Let me love you.

When you forget how to love yourself

Sema is a seductive and playful afrobeats fusion track co- produced by M^3. It follows closely on the heels of Tetu's standout hit AfricaSun and shows his versatility as a pop songwriter, composer and arranger.

The song attempts to capture that moment when you feel chemistry with someone you just met at a party and have to overcome your nervousness and approach them.

Tetu Shani- Sema

This is a first in a series of songs for the once a month challenge featuring Chemutai Sage and four other Kenyan artists.  The artists have commited to dropping one song every month until December 2019.

"Where Did You Go? " is a song that encompasses the withdrawal symptoms of lost love.  Written in 2008 by Sage,  the lyricism is simple and you can feel the push and pull between acceptance and denial of this ultimate betrayal. Produced by Dillie,  the song takes you back to old school NeoSoul with its vibey bassline. This marks Chemutai Sage's return to music after a year of hiatus.

So much more music coming this year.
