Zawedde ‘gets companion’

THIS year has undeniably been Sarah Zawedde’s best year. Zawedde first gave professional singing a try in 2004 with Body Talk, which just passed unnoticed. In 2005, she returned with U Got My Heart, another worthwhile but hardly groundbreaking single.
Zawedde continued to record more tracks without scoring any major success. She persisted until the industry doors finally opened for her last year.
Her big break came after she employed the services of local acclaimed songwriter Sylver Kyagulanyi, who penned for her a catchy Afro beat tune that celebrated love.
With the help of producers-cum singers Ngoni (Pato and Aydee), Zawedde’s breakthrough hit, Kambeere Naawe was born.
This track soon shot to number one on the local radio charts, putting Zawedde in the limelight.
In a bid to tighten her grip at the top, she has dropped Nafuna Andabirira, written by Kyagulanyi, and produced by Aydee and Pato.
Just like Kambeere Naawe, this one too is high-pitched, only that the sound is much heavier and danceable.
Nafuna Andabirira tells the story of a woman who just cannot hide the excitement of her new-found love. The song begins with a whining intro in Yoyo omwana, which immediately captures the attention of the listener.
Nafuna Andabirira has a catchy melody that will easily get lodged in a listener’s memory.
Nafuna Andabirira has so far been received well on radio and TV.
And even though it is yet to slot into radio countdowns, Zawedde is certain the song has the potential to follow in the steps of Kambeere Naawe.
