Many people separate and divorce from working together as well. I am talking from experience and I really know the antagonism between divorcees that lasts forever. Our courts are inundated with divorce cases of people who never want to see each other again. Divorcees cut communication and ties such that it’s rare to see them working together.
Roki and Pauline didn’t act like many of us who separate and divorce from doing meaningful business together. In the single Shine Like A Star the two collaborate so well in the ballad that should work as a reminder to ex lovers that there are other things you can still achieve together. Roki who still is basking in the glory of his collaboration Patati Patata with the DRC star Koffi Olomide did not find it difficult to torch the mother of his children’s career too. Pauline has been moving stealthily with her solo career away from the famous Mafriq.
The song is a rare one from Oskid the Tryson Chimbetu Hayisati Yapinda hit maker. You will never understand how Oskid manages to move in valleys and all of a sudden he glides above. You would expect Oskid to move fast like a formula one contestant but how he manages to take it slow you wonder. The song is a classic that ballroom dancers would enjoy to show their skills.
The poetic ndichangoti pepukeyi ( As I just got awake from my dream) invokes a lot of imaginations especially to those who have fallen out of love but later on realise it was not necessary. Roki sang with his full strength and you can actually hear that besides the song there is some connection in between the two. Pauline blended so well like a real shining star. This song is not just a song but a big revival of the two’s careers.
The biggest beneficiaries of this rare collaboration must be their Children. It feels so good to see your parents putting aside their differences for the sake of a good cause. I give the song a 10 out of 10 due to its uncommon collaboration. The way Roki also shows his versatility makes the song a collector’s item. View it on YouTube.
Great review..
