The Bongo music world was recently set ablaze with speculation after Zuchu created a viral stir on a video call with Diamond Platnumz, whom she refers to as her husband, about a mysterious woman named "Amanda." The internet was sent into a frenzy, with everyone asking, "who the f*** is Amanda???" It now appears the clever drama was a masterful publicity stunt, as Zuchu has just released a new song bearing the same name.
The track itself is an unexpected departure for the artist. Described as a "fun, uptempo track that is bound to have fans tearing up the dancefloor," the song is a bold shift in style. Zuchu "surprisingly sings most of the lyrics in English," a move that has been met with mixed reactions from her fanbase. Many fans have publicly criticized the new project, questioning if this "new tune" is "really Zuchu's style and best effort."
In a direct and unapologetic response to her critics, Zuchu took to social media to defend her artistic direction. She stated, "This is the new me I’ll be versatile as I want to be na kama unahisi mabadiliko haya huyawezi, mimi kama msanii nakushauri tu ni bora uniache sasa," which translates to a clear message: she is embracing a new, versatile sound, and if fans cannot accept the change, they are free to move on.
The saga of "Amanda" has proven to be a fascinating case of modern music marketing. What began as a potential cheating scandal has been skillfully transformed into a viral launch for a new song. As the track continues to gain momentum, it leaves fans with a clear choice: either embrace the new, versatile Zuchu or, as she herself has advised, simply "leave her now."
