Roshnee - Ngizaphakama
I listen to many types of music, but one thing that catches my attention is when a song has souls in it.
The soul genre is nearly none existent in Zim, many do not even know we have neo soul, afro soul, artists in Zim. Artists like the brilliant Prayersoul and Bryan Kadengu are keeping the niche genre alive despite many Zimbos ignoring it. However there is a shortage of ladies in the genre.
Was glad when I came across this track by Roshnee, an upcoming female artist from Harare full of soul. Did not now about her before this track and ya she is worth a listen is you love some chilled mellow vibes.
As expected the instrumental is soulful, reminiscent of music by Zonke or Lira from neighboring South Africa. I believe they are some of Roshnee's inspirations. Roshnee has a lovely voice, and can't help but notice she also sounds like Zonke.
Ngizaphakama means Ndichasimuka or I will rise. Its an uplifting song in which she is saying I will rise despite how hard it gets. Beautiful track
This is a good first track and hope she keeps on serenading us with some soul tunes.
