What Azawi doesn't like about Lydia Jazmine

Azawi wrote some songs for Lydia Jazmine but there is one thing she doesn't like about her.

Azawi and Lydia Jazmine

According to Azawi, Jazmine usually delays releasing projects.

"It's just that Lydia has a problem. You write a song today and she releases it three or four years later when its sweetness is 'expired'... I don't know why she does it like that," said Azawi while appearing on Galaxy TV.

"I wrote them a long time ago, some I forgot," Azawi said when she was asked to name the songs.

Some of the songs she wrote for Lydia Jazmine are Omalawo and Binji, a collaboration with Fik Fameica.

Azawi started as a songwriter until she met Benon Mugumbya and Julius Kyazze at Swangz Avenue and they encouraged her to switch to swinging.

Before she met the Swangz Avenue co-founders, she had also written songs for Carol Nantongo and Eddy Kenzo.

She has said in interviews that she had originally wanted Winnie Nwagi to sing Quinamino, her breakthrough song.

Azawi still writes most of her songs but she has said she is no longer heavily invested in writing for other artistes.

Meanwhile, Lydia Jazmine may not be deliberately refusing to release projects in time. For instance, she recently released one of the three songs Mowzey Radio had written for her and revealed that it was delayed because of the split with her former manager Producer Bushington, real name George Bush Kago. She was finally able to have it released because she was in talks with Bushington to resume working together though they couldn't agree on some terms. Radio wrote Masuuka, Nkubanja and Gwokya Nga Omuliro for Lydia Jazmine.
