Song Review; Mochability by Joefes.

By Gloria Nanjala. The latest full length single by Joefes titled Mochability is one for the books. Mochoa is a slang word for ‘drinking’ thus Mochability is the possibility of one getting drunk.In this single, Joefes sings to the experience of getting buzzed with a friend or rather ‘morio’ .That his friend suggests that they go get drunk whilst he was just at home chilling with nothing planned yet. He sings ‘Leo nilikua nimechill tu kejaniMorio akanishow possibilityYa mochability…..Pombe inafanya niwe guilty’ Mochability is a funky track produced by Kashkeed. It is what you experience when the right song hits at the peak of the night in a crowded bar and everyone stops to raise a glass and sing along. The song is now available for streaming on digital platforms. https://open.spotify.com/track/4XqeHZgoQOfn4FualVA0D9
