Ogopa Deejays’ Crooner Brian Murray Finally Releases Video To Alone.

Many songwriters write for therapy, drawing from a deep place in their heart. The English call this place the heart of hearts, I prefer to call it the inner sanctum of the soul.

Kenya’s secular scene has very few crooners since the exit of Mr Lenny and Didge. Whilst rumour has it that Didge is back, Ogopa now boasts of a singer that has the potential to be the next big male vocalist in Kenya. Twenty year old Brain Murray has finally released his sophomore track Alone, after he did Ogopa Deejays first trance joint Burried love. 

According to him, Alone, was penned as therapy after his relationship tapered off two years ago and he came to his senses. Buried love was characterized by deep seated anger and hurt, and after that subsided, he realized better the devil you know than the angel you don’t know. According to him, “I had it all but I never had this person I shared my first love with and it really felt bad and lonely.” Read about the behind the scene piece about this song.

He elucidates that in buried love, he was pissed off and reeling from the hurt, but in Alone he is asking the ‘ex’ to allow them bury the hatchet and rekindle the extinguished embers of their love. He says, “Love hurts sometimes but if the person you love is worth the pain, it hurts even more knowing you don’t have them.”

This is the first swahili offering from him. As a testament of sorts to his rather remarkable vocals, the song was done in only one take. It was produced by Anthony kamande of Ogopa Deejays, and video shot by Alfie Simcad. Brain by the way is 20, a third year law student at Catholic University, and a budding entreprenuer with a special interest in real estate. Watch teh video below and give him your just opinion.
