MUSIC (Uganda): Sheebah's "Weekend" feat. Runtown

Weekend -- Wikendi, if you like -- as sung by Sheebah and Runtown, is a superb collaboration between two musical pillars in Uganda and Nigeria. The video invokes images of weekend dos-and-dos that are clearly the stuff of daydreams, as well as 'endmonth' to 'endmonth' planning and chatter.

We see a more energetic Sheebah here than we do in many of her other outings. She's singing with animation and even excitement -- something faintly reminiscent, of course, of her Farmer Remix do with Ykee Benda.

Likewise, we see an inspired Runtown at the top of his game. His timed 'interjections' particularly stand out. They add punch and 'magic' to a song all will be happy to hear and love. So there was chemistry.
