Iryn Namubiru taps Josh Wonder to deliver an earworm in 'Yenze'

Yenze is undoubtedly one of the best ballads that have come out of Ugandan studios this year.

Iryn Namubiru and Josh Wonder

The song is off Iryn Namubiru's latest collection of songs titled 'All Time Classics Volume III'.

In the marriage anthem, which was produced by Josh Wonder and written by Theo Sharma, the songstress, who is a mother of two, lyricises about finding a loving husband whom she goes out of her way to please.

She belts out in the introduction: "We've been through a lot that we won't say in public..."

The Rhumba jam, which is written in mostly Luganda with a few English lines, goes: "... the wife who will marry you, is me... The one who will give you exceptional happiness, is me... the one who will give you kids."

Renders Namubiru: "I thank God... That King. What you ask God, he gives. I asked for a husband and he offered you.... You saved me from proud dudes... You even made me a mother."

Josh Wonder gave it a flawless beat that will put it in a good position among many of her timeless songs.

Wonder is not new to producing earworms, having previously worked on a number of classics, including Neera by Goodlyfe, Sokalami by Naava Grey, Brag About Good by Ntaate, Olibeera Nange by Juliana Kanyomozi and Neera by Mowzey Radio.

For anyone who has listened to Azawi's Yenze, which is of her Sankofa album, the start of Yenze gives almost the vibe.

Meanwhile 'Iryn Namubiru All Time Classics III' has 13 songs, which were all mastered in France at Studio La Source.

One of the songs is Kimala, a pop song which was written by St. Andrews the Wryta and audio produced by DKing. DKing and Josh Wonder co-produced Soka Lami.

There is Safi, a Zouk song which was written by Abbey Mpungu and produced by DKing; Wokaabira, written by Abbey Mpungu and produced by Paddyman. Josh Wonder, real name, Joshua Sentogo, learnt production at Paddyman's studio named Audio One.

The other songs on the compilation are older but were re-done in different new versions in order to fit in the current music style.

For instance, Ekyombo, which was written by the Late Denis Rakla and was originally recorded by Paddyman -- has been redone by Josh Wonder.

Iryn Namubiru wrote Bandeke over 14 years ago and the audio was produced by Paddyman.
