Teslah has been one of the most recent consistent artists under the BMR. After dropping the TUJIBAMBE banger feauturing Iyanni barely two ago, Teslah is nowhere near taking a break from her funs. She dropped another RnB love project called “Ndugaikare,” meaning “Don’t Go” in Kikuyu, is the latest single of her singles. The song, produced by Salaton, is a captivating blend of Teslah’s native Kikuyu, English, and Swahili, thus rendering it a unique sound with broad listener appeal.
The track begins with a gentle piano riff, creating a mournful mood that is matched by Teslah’s soulful singing. Some understated percussion and harmony-rich backing vocals come in later to further the emotional impact of the song. Salaton’s production is smooth and low-key, keeping Teslah’s voice prominently at the forefront throughout.
“Ndugaikare” is a song about love and longing, with Teslah pleading with her lover to stay and work through their issues together. The multilingual lyrics add more layers of intimacy and realism, pulling from Teslah’s cultural background and day-to-day life.
