By Dennis Juma Kenya’s music scene continues to be graced by fresh voices that carry both power and authenticity, and one such rising star is Shourtie. Though she may be a newcomer to the industry, her vocal delivery, emotional depth, and lyrical maturity position her as a name to watch closely. Her latest release, “Sitaki”, is such alove song that puts emphasis on self-respect, emotional awareness, and relationship clarity. Shourtie’s vocals are stunning rich, expressive, and confident. With the tone of someone who has lived through the stories she sings about, her delivery in “Sitaki” elevates the song beyond simple melodies. It is rare to hear a debut artist blend vulnerability and strength so seamlessly, but Shourtie does it with grace. Her voice may be new to many, but it resonates with the weight and polish of a seasoned artist. At first listen, “Sitaki” might come across as a typical R&B or Afro-fusion breakup song. But a deeper dive into the lyrics reveals something far more nuanced. The title “Sitaki”, which means “I don’t want” in Swahili, lays the foundation for the singer’s declaration of emotional boundaries.This isn’t about being difficult or demanding. Shourtie is advocating for intentional love. One that’s grounded in attention, communication, commitment, and consistency. She makes it clear: she will not invest herself in a relationship that fails to nurture those values. Her words echo the sentiments of many who have experienced one-sided love, neglect, or emotional confusion in relationships. One of the most powerful lines in the song circles around the idea that love, though ideally unconditional, still requires mutual effort. “Unconditional doesn’t mean unstructured,” the song seems to suggest. Shourtie challenges the idea that love should endure without expectations. Instead, she argues that setting conditions is not about limitation. It’s about creating a foundation for real, lasting connection. It’s a reminder that love is not about grand gestures, it’s about the everyday choices we make: showing up, listening, being consistent, and choosing each other every day. The production of “Sitaki” is minimal yet emotionally charged, allowing Shourtie’s voice to take center stage. The instrumental is carried by soft chords, gentle percussion, and an ambient soundscape that gives the track a deeply intimate feel. It’s the kind of song that makes you pause, reflect, and maybe even reconsider your own relationship dynamics. In a world where many young artists are pushed to follow trends, Shourtie chooses honesty. “Sitaki” it’s a conversation starter. It gives a voice to those who have struggled to express their needs in relationships. It empowers listeners, especially young women, to recognize that setting emotional boundaries is not weakness. It’s strength. This release is a cultural moment that reminds us all that self-worth has no compromise.

In “Siri”, which translates to “secret” in Swahili — Heavy Cane lays bare his vulnerability as he seeks to understand what makes a relationship thrive. Rather than claiming to have the answers, he turns to others, asking candidly: “How do you do it?” This introspective approach sets the tone for a song built on rhetorical questions and raw emotion.

By Dennis Juma In a world where we constantly pray for peace, one undeniable truth remains; money can also be a powerful source of peace. The stress of lacking it, the weight of responsibilities, and the pressure to succeed can take a heavy toll on anyone, especially men navigating life’s daily grind. That’s the raw, unfiltered truth behind Itajipa, the latest release by Clamer—a rising artist with his finger on the pulse of the everyday hustler. Now available on all streaming platforms, the audio version of Itajipa is a mirror that reflects to the soul of every dreamer fighting silently behind the scenes. Clamer captures the emotional struggle of ambition: having a plan, a vision for success, but not knowing when or even if it will materialize. It’s like walking in the dark with faith as your only light. Yet, as the artist reminds us, the worst thing a man can do is lose hope. In Itajipa, Clamer doesn’t just rap or sing—he testifies. With a smooth blend of rhythm and raw emotion, he asks the haunting question so many have whispered in silence: “Ni lini itajipa?” When will the hustle pay off? When will the doors finally open? But despite the frustration, the answer is powerful: Don’t give up. Keep grinding. Itajipa tu. That’s the heart of the track. That’s the message. Because a true man, as Clamer emphasizes, is defined not just by what he achieves, but by his ability to hold on, push through, and keep going, even when nothing seems to be working. Mwanaume ni kung’ang’ana. Itajipa is a motivational anthem for the streets, for the youth, for every person out there still holding on to a dream. So plug in your earphones, stream it loud, and let Clamer remind you that no matter how long it takes, no matter how hard it gets—itajipa.
