Chit Chat's Dee Nduba releases Retro themed single Too Good |
|
Mon, 31 May 2010 |
NAIROBI - Chit Chat's Dee (Diana Nduba) has released her first solo joint called Too Good complete with a 70's retro video. And the cast and production borrows heavily from Just A Band's Makmende. Check out the similarities. The song was produced by Bill Selanga of Just A Band. The video was done by Mbithi Masya who also produced the Makmende video. Kevin "K1" Maina, the guy who plays Makmende does the choreography on Dee's video. And just like Makmende, the song has the retro 70's feel and is available on HD. With that said, nice to see artists step out the box once in a while.
Dee, who has appeared on several ad billboards in the city adds this of the song, " Moral of this story, don't let this world put you down, go ahead and shine because you're TOO GOOD to settle for anything less. We've been given the right to be called children of God; the Don himself is your dad and that's HUGE! So whenever you feel like you don't have what it takes, remember that you really don't....only God does.."
