South African singer Aspino Boy has teamed up with Ugandan star Eddy Kenzo and Ugaboys for a lively new tune, “Dis Mus Be Love.”
This one’s a real continental hook-up. One record that doesn’t happen as often as it should is South Africa facing Uganda. Eddy Kenzo has already collaborated with the Ugaboys on songs such as “Freaky Friday” and “Dancy Dancy,” thus including Aspino Boy in the collaboration gives a Southern African taste to a partnership grounded in trust.
Eddy Kenzo has Grammy nominations and a BET Award under his belt. His involvement on any collaboration instantly raises the profile of the record. Aspino Boy removing that feature is a declaration of where his objectives are
This is warm Afropop with dancehall-flavored textures, a natural coming together of East and Southern African sounds. Everything here just feels natural and right. The love motif in the title comes across loud and clear without any drama, because the groove remains light and joyous.
Aspino Boy stands up to two established Ugandan speakers. His delivery remains confident, not competing but complementing. That maturity keeps the cooperation on an even keel.
Ugaboys and Eddy Kenzo offer their characteristic East African vibes, layering in melodies that add a true warmth and replay value to “Dis Mus Be Love.”
