Chimano has come out guns blazing with his debut solo single Friday Feeling.
By now you may be overwhelmed with the new music from each of the Sol Generation members, but you have more so chill on out. Chimano has premiered his first solo release and what better day to make the unveiling than on a Friday and at the onset of December?
Where to start? The audio, you say? The incorporation of 80s Dance tempo with Chimano’s famous baritone? A beautifully-woven piece that will have you on your feet all festive season long! The 80s tempo is reminiscent of Dua Lipa’s Grammy-winning Future Nostalgia LP, so this could be a sign of a renaissance of the era. Enter the heavy bassline and you have a banger for your partying pleasure. The visuals are nowhere near shabby either.
Beyond the innumerable celebrity cameos, the visuals are an ode to the cult classic series Pose that won Billy Porter a Golden Globe. Kenyans are here for it and have taken to Twitter to say how they really feel:
I love how the Sauti Sol boys always have Chimano's back like that's family 😭 pic.twitter.com/JVp5dAFQYD

I have watched 'Friday Feeling' by Chimano. My thoughts; He might have the biggest solo career of the four ✌️

Truth be told. Everyone in @sautisol is veeeery talented and diverse. Chimano has released a song with a funk feeling also giving a voice to the LGBTQ community.

The fact that Chimano has given us his touch of music is way on another level, can't wait to listen to Sauti Sol 's Savara
