Lulu Kibaara ‘Talia’ Reply To Sauti Sol Beats Even The Original Song

It nice to review a song that you replay not just for the review but for the treasure it is. It is even better if it is a song that you refer to others and feel proud at having got to it before them.

This is the case of Lulu Kibaara’s new song ‘Talia’ a reply to Sauti Sol’s ‘Nerea’. It is deeper than Nerea in lyrics and has a simple but captivating arrangement.

In Talia, Lulu leaves the comfort zone and takes time on the lyrics and her vocals which are on point as she takes you from the soft low intro to the high notes and back again at the conclusion. The piano is steady and sets the tempo and mood of the song though pretty much in the background. This allows you to be enraptured by Lulu’s vocal richness. I really like the arrangement and it serves as proof of a well thought out song poetic with the metaphors and the rhymes flowing effortlessly. It is a hit song unless some déjà vu happens. Here s the audio and I hope a video comes out very soon.
