Kampala — TWO months ago, she announced her return with Ngenze Noono, a kwanjula song in which she proclaims she has finally found her ideal man. The song's strength is the way it perfectly captures the feel of a traditional kwanjula (introduction) ceremony.
It is arguably Angella's biggest song locally so far, if airplay on radio and TV and bookings to perform at weddings are anything to go by.
Owing to this song's success, Angella has decided to do a continuation of this love story, the result of which is her latest single, Gwenjagala.
In Gwenjagala, she extols the virtues of the man that she settled for, presumably the one she sings about in Ngenze Noono.
But whereas Ngenze Noono is a smooth, laid-back ballad that is suitable for radio, Gwenjagala is done in a dancehall ragga style, with pronounced hooks and snares.
Both songs were written by singer Henry Tigan, and produced by Paul Kim of First Love studios. With both the radio and club audiences catered for, Gwenjagala should bolster the singer's attempts at penetrating the local market.
Listening to this song, one is left with one question: Why did it take Angela this long to find her niche in the local market? She says: "In life, it is important to establish yourself where you are more comfortable first.
That is what I did when I returned from the US, singing love ballads in English. It does not mean that I was not seeing barefoot people and suffering around me.
All I was trying to do was first establish myself in my comfort zone, which is English. Now that I have two English albums out, I believe it is the time to change."
