CiCi Missed It

The rejuvenator of 999 Music CiCi real name Busisiwe Edith almost had it all but we think she’s missed it all or she’s slowly getting there

Listen don’t get us wrong we are all for that girl, she’s undeniably an amazing artist but small fake tactics can put people off

Her song ‘Runaway’ is a great song because our female artists don’t make music like that anymore they’re rather dabbing into hip hop (pun intended), she had a perfect market and was not under any sort of pressure, but she still got enough rope to hang herself. When I say she almost had it all I mean the market was for her to take, since the passing of the legendary Lebo Mathosa the country has been in need of a female artist like CiCi who could ignite that spark.

What puts us off is her latest offering where she has pieces of famous American songs in her lyrics.

• 1.       The “she aint no diva” line from Beyoncé’s Diva
• 2.       Lady Gaga’s “applause, applause, applause”  line are also in there
• 3.       The “you gonn’ C-C me” line by Ludacris in Ciara’s Ride

And y’all probably think we’re being too critical about the last point but the bottom line is that it’s been done before.

 We really hope she redeems herself in whatever she’s going to put out next; we have so much faith in her
