Tanzanian Bongo Flava singer D Voice who is signed under WCB Wasafi has teamed up with Jay Melody on “Banana” a fun Gen Z East African love song. The record has a radio-friendly sheen, courtesy of Mr LG’s production duties.
D Voice is taken from his former track “Kumbe” and this one explores lighter romantic themes. The song is about two people who are each other’s, matching energies and enjoying their relationship without caring about anyone else. It’s all about the Swahili lyrics and simple sticky “Banana” hook.
The production is slick and contagious, designed to move couples and social media feeds alike. There’s nothing here to make this harder to do. It’s infectious from the first drop, crafted to soundtrack young love in real time. That contrast brings a real synergy to the record.
Lyrically, “Banana” is about affection, attachment, being spoiled by someone you love and confidently enjoying a relationship even in the face of scrutiny. D Voice and Jay Melody keep it light and personable instead than heavy. Sounds like a real nice celebration of young passion.
“Banana” succeeds because the two artists go into that whimsical, captivating energy to the hilt. Their chemistry is natural all the way through. It makes a perfect soundtrack for anyone caught up in the sweet, beautiful side of love.
