TAWANDA CHARI
Tamy Moyo is back with a new single, Unobhowa, and it relates with anyone who's ever felt like they're giving more than they're getting in a relationship. This track is a relatable scrutiny of that all too common dynamic where one person pours their heart and soul into a partnership, only to be met with a frustrating lack of reciprocity.
Unobhowa (which translates to "you're annoying" or "you're boring" in the context of the song) cuts deep. Tamy articulates the struggle of being deeply in love and committed, yet constantly battling an partner who is either apathetic, tiresome, or both. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship teetering on the brink, unable to go a week without an argument. It's the kind of love that's cherished and deeply frustrating.
She captures the internal conflict of wanting to leave a stagnant or exasperating relationship, but finding herself unable to. Not because of weakness, but because she once chose that person. That kind of emotional commitment, that depth of love, doesn’t just disappear.
There's a powerful sense of resignation mixed with enduring affection. The line about always having "space for him" even if she wanted to leave perfectly encapsulates this emotional entanglement.
The song also comes with brilliant visuals.
