'It hurts me deeply that bubblegum music is very popular' - Cindy

She said that music that's exciting but with a short shelf life is becoming the norm.

"... I've been working as a president of UMA (Uganda Musicians Association), it hurts me deeply that bubblegum music is very popular," she said in an interview, adding: "Way more than, perse, real music."

Meanwhile, Cindy, who has previously boasted about writing classics, said she is now "back officially as an artiste."

She will on September 15 face off with Sheebah Karungi in a music battle at Kololo Airstrip in Kampala.

Meanwhile, Cindy also reiterated her stance against music labels, which she believes are exploiting musicians.

"A lot of contracts today are very equal to slavery and I feel like nobody can own who Cindy is," she said.

Cindy Sanyu recently disdained musicians under record labels, saying the vast majority of them are not talented but they were signed to play ball.

"If you observe properly, these days music labels don't sign talented artistes, no... there are many good musicians... they sign artistes who can play their game. If you can play their game, they sign you," said Sanyu in an interview.

"... you don't have to have any talent... as long as you can accept the slavery contract, they will go with you... they sign dolls that are willing to play by the rules... there is so much good talent... the kind that reminds you of Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj... but nobody is gonna sign that chic. But you a chic with a questionable voice is the one signed to a label... because they agreed to play along."

Cindy said that's why she refused to get signed to a label because the contracts had terms that she didn't like.
