Lyrics & Vocals
I like how Pryce Teeba began the music off with “again to my roots” as a result of it’s highlighting he’s staying true to his hisself and places emphasis on how loyalty is a price that he has at all times held. The music was primarily spoken within the Luganda language so there have been sure phrases that I translated to the English language for a greater understanding. “toki kwata ko kubanga kyookya” means “don’t contact it as a result of its sizzling” which I interpreted as a warning signal for getting concerned in disloyal conditions. One other phrase that I translated was “bonga sikya” that means “I’m not the identical anymore.” This phrase displays development from experiencing betrayal. In comparison with initially feeling open to trusting individuals he now’s extra cautious and intentional.
Pryce Teeba delivers the music in a really assured tone. I really feel just like the tone of his voice reinforces the themes of the music and the way a lot loyalty means to him. The rap model of the music makes the music really feel very reflective and as if he’s telling a narrative.
Visuals
The visuals of the music are saved quite simple. The colour scheme of the music is black and white and I really feel like this simpleness of those colours creates a critical tone. Moderately than flashy colours and visuals the simplistic visuals leaves the music extra reflective.
The video primarily takes place outdoors on stairs, the place Pryce Teeba is surrounded by different individuals. I really feel like this setting provides on to the message of individuals inside “his circle” and the way he retains these relationships with others to a minimal and intently. These visuals focus so much on presence and allowed me to concentrate on the message of the music.
Private Ideas
Personally, I discovered the music fascinating to have interaction with. Songs spoken within the Luganda language may be more durable for me to completely perceive, however surprisingly this music was simpler to comply with. Because it included just a little English to start with and displayed phrases on the display, I used to be in a position to pause, translate them, and achieve a greater understanding of what the music was speaking about.
I additionally understood the music on a critical degree as a result of loyalty is one thing I take significantly. The themes of belief, betrayal, and penalties had been clear.
The visuals additionally added on to my understanding of the music. The black and gray scheme gave a critical and reflective temper and the scenes of him surrounded by individuals emphasised the concept of neighborhood and the circle he’s speaking about all through the music.
