When talking about Tanzanian artists with great singing and songwriting skills, beside Jaymelody, Diamond Platnumz, Rayvanny, and Marioo, Mbosso stands out. His powerfull songwriting skills are seen in his various songs like Nitadumu Nae, Dokta, and others. In 2022, Diamond Platnumz admitted that his hit song “Loyal” wrote by Mbosso , a track that trended and topped various music platforms.

Mbosso has enjoyed success ever since his days with Yamoto Band, a group that brought together artists like Aslay, Beka Flavour, Enock Bella, and Mbosso himself.

The Song “Ova”

As we’ve come to expect from Mbosso, whose 80% of songs focus on love, often mixing Bongo Flava with Indian music flavour, this month he brings us another new hitsong  “Ova“. The song tells us the story of a woman who was swayed by other men who gave her small amounts of money, leading her to leave her long-term boyfriend who has nothing. Although, after suffering heartbreak and in her new relationships, she starts longing for Mbosso again and wishes to reconcile.

At this point, Mbosso has already become wealthy and  having  a more attractive and beautiful woman, tells her it’s “Ova,” meaning his love for her has come to an end. Mbosso sees no reason to go back to a woman who left him simply because he had no money, especially since he loved her truly, unaware that she was only interested in money, not true love.

The song is lit from the melody, metaphors, chorus, and beat, all skillfully arranged to provide a beautiful endless listening, even if you don’t understand the lyrics. The rise and fall of the vocals and the blend of Indian music styles make the song Mbosso’s finest love songs  this year.

The song was produced by SK2KIZZ, a producer currently ranking highly in the Bongo Flava industry, just behind Laizer Classic. It’s a perfect song to use as a subtle jab at someone who left you and now wants to come back.

The Message

What we can learn from this song is something common in our society. Many people are betrayed simply because those they loved weren’t the right fit. Often, people believe that in order to be in a relationship, the person must have money. True love never built on money. If you love someone s because they have something you want, then know that it is not true love and you should move on quickly before you hurt his / her feelings.

Celine Dion once sang a song “ Love Don’t Ask Why” , where she explained that when you truly love someone, you won’t know exactly what it is that draws you to them, but you’ll feel happiness, peace of heart, and contentment whenever you see him / her.

Nowadays, marriages don’t last long; many end without fulfilling their purpose, and this is largely because those entering marriage have different goals. For estance, the woman may want only money and a good life, while the man might just want children. In such a situation, if the man becomes broke, it becomes easy for the woman to leave  without even giving him children, as she’ll feel her goals are slipping away.

Therefore, to build a society based on true love, free from acts of revenge in relationships, it’s best for people to carefully assess for a time if the person they want to be with is right for them.
