DANCEHALL music has ushered in a new trend where male musicians sing more about women chasing them – unlike the tradition that had the likes of Leonard Dembo (Sharai), Simon Chimbetu (Mudzimai Wangu) and John Chibadura (Mudiwa Janet) among others who used to go all out wooing women with their catchy and poetic lyrics.

However, with the emergence of urban grooves and dancehall music, there seems to be a paradigm shift as the new crop of artistes are now dissing women. Instead, the musicians are now portraying themselves as the hot property that women are chasing after.
After Winky D’s Ndakufarira and Sniper Storm Love Yemusoja among others Freeman has also gone the same way with his new release expected on the market today. Titled Musandisiye, the track features female chanter Da Rule from Freeman’s stable Danger Zone.
Freeman told NewsDay that the song is about a girl who was refusing to move on after being ditched.
“The track is about a girl who knew that l was married and l gave her love and when l told her it was over she did not want to end the relationship,” he said. Asked if the song was about a real-life situation, he just laughed off the question.
“My sister, it is just a song, l am not singing about anyone,” he said laughing.
The musician was speaking after his performance at Rat and Mouse Sports Diner in Marondera on Friday.
