Hi, welcome back to the weekly top songs series where we look at the new songs by Ugandan artistes.
Sometimes you'll find an old song and that's because the artiste had only released the audio and the video is new.
1. Wumula by Chosen Becky
A soothing jam.
Dictator Amir, who is Becky's baby daddy and manager, features in the entertaining video of Wumula alongside other celebrities like Mudra D. Viral, Spice Diana, comedian Reign Omusoyisoyi, Ava Peace, Sasha Brighton, John Blaq, Maureen Nantume, Chris Evans and David Lutalo.
Others stars in the entertaining video are Jowy Landa, Spice Diana's manager Roger Lubega, Bruno K, Mikey Seems 2 Funny, Jose Chakala, Nince Henry, Ivo Official, Liam Voice, Artin Problem and Aaron X.
The song, which was written by John K., had its video directed by Ivash RS from Cloud 9 Films. The video was captured during Dictator Amir’s surprise birthday party which was organised by Chosen Becky.
It's Becky's first song in 2024 and the video has already racked up 161k views in just six days.
It was produced by Brian Beats who has previously recorded for her Tubyekole featuring Henry Katamba.
2. Mpaka Kuwulila Bubi (Mudra D. Viral & Gravity Omutujju)
This is a club banger. Its audio, which was produced by Yeah It's Don from Artin Pro's Axtra Nation, is about three weeks old.
The video, which was directed by Aaronaire, is as spicy as any other music visual released by Gravity Omutujju in the recent past. The song has been uploaded on different channels, and combined views are a little above 52k on YouTube.
3. Bukuta Bukuta (Fik Gaza)
Bukuta's production is no different from Gaza's other hit songs Banana and Sanyu.
They are very small changes in the beats, which were all made by Rinex, who has produced multiple hit songs for Bebe Cool and Jose Chameleone.
The video of Bukuta was filmed by Wax, who has been filming Fik Gaza's music videos since he joined the industry.
4. Amaanyi Gakola (Silver Kyagulanyi)
Singer, songwriter and lawyer Sliver Kyagulanyi dropped an amazing gospel song produced at his studio Sikia by Tryton and The Squire.
Its beautiful visuals were directed by Simon SPK. In the video, which was shot in pretty much the same location, Kyagulanyi presents purity, as most of the extras in the video are dressed in white.
The audio is a month old, but the video was released this week.
5. Byadala (Nandor Love ft. Jowy Landa)
Nandor Love tapped Jowy Landa to feature on her song which was co-produced by Nessim and Geene. In the song, which is currently only in audio, the duo sings about the good and bad side of love. It has somewhat bouncy beats.
“Issues of love are real,” Landa belts out, “I showed you mature love and you disappointed me.”
Landa has another new love song titled Ntaawa, which was released a day before Byadala. It was produced by Shaq on the Beat.
The audio was released in the second week of January but the video, which was filmed by Jahlive, came out this week.
