On April 20, 2020, Tommy Flavour, a rising star under King's Records, made a stunning debut with his first single 'Omukwano', a love song that features his boss Alikiba.
The song is a beautiful blend of their vocals, with smooth transitions and a consistent mood throughout. The title 'Omukwano' is a Ugandan word that translates to 'my dear', setting the tone for a romantic and heartfelt song.
What's commendable about the song is its simplicity, with the lyrics written in easy-to-understand Swahili. The song's message is clear, and it's easy to relate to, as everyone can understand the feeling of being in love.
Lyrical Prowess ¶
Tommy Flavour showcases his strong RnB vibe in 'Omukwano', with lyrics that speak to the heart. He starts off by telling his girl that she makes him go crazy because of the love he feels for her, and further says her love has blown him out before he goes down to the chorus.
The chorus is simple yet effective, passing on the message clearly. The song is a beautiful serenade, and the duo does justice to it.
Video ¶
Shot in the beautiful beaches of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, the video is a stunning complement to the song's theme of love. Just watching it makes one long to visit the beach and experience the sweet sunshine.
Tommy Flavour, signed by Alikiba under King's Music, comes as a full package, singing, writing, and producing. He has written songs for artists like Avril, Vanessa Mdee, Wahu, Ommy Dimpoz, Wanje, and Nandy, among many others.
Alikiba, behind songs like 'Dodo', which is still trending, seems to be resetting the pace for bongo flavour, especially now that Tommy is said to have helped write Alikiba's new song.
