necessary noize is as old as all my memories of kenyan music! they were three and now are two and even more appealing! nazizi (the first lady of kenyan music) and wyre (the love child) are the remaining members of the group and as i listen to this song memories of how they sparked my interest and love for kenyan music fill my mind. their first album necessary noize 1 was the best thing i had ever heard then, but necessary noize 2, their last album is still the sound that defines kenyan music to me!
from their last album is the song forever; an amazing song that in true necessary noize style strikes a chord with the lover, the party starters, and anything that has blood pumping in its system!!!!!
this melody is a testament of love, a conversation between lovers crafted to express one’s feelings as precisely as its humanly possible
“rude gal me no need diamonds and pearls or trips around the world, you are my king so its you i will serve give you anything that you deserve”
that verse may as well been the only words in the song and the message would have been delivered! with the same punch and intention that is served up by the whole song!
i mean necessary noize is pure genius!
the setting for the video is the coast (nyumbani) and the video is done by dada productions and the white sandy beaches and sights of the kenyan coast not only infuse a dose of culture into this video but also gives that hazy view that one has only when in love!
