Good day music lovers ✨
It's yet another beautiful Tuesday and once again, a time to share different tunes with fellow music lovers. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, Three Tunes Tuesday(TTT) is an initiative started by the dear @ablaze, here's the gist.
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #threetunetuesday tag that would be great, as that is what I use when sifting through all the entries every Wednesday. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning the prize - more on that later.

Furthermore, here's a link to one of his posts. It could help you out if you want to know more about TTT.
Last month, I felt like I didn't want to listen to any other type of song except reggae. I had repeatedly listened to all the songs on my playlist and being fed up would be an understatement in comparison to how I actually felt. Whenever I hear reggae, three names come to mind; Bob Marley, Lucky Dube and Fela kuti.
Lady is a song that was inspired by African women. If you're one who is really curious to know more about African ladies, then this should be one of your picks.
This song may sound funny, but it has some truth to it. Most African women don't like being called "woman", they prefer being called "lady". Why? The song would explain better. You don't want to know how many fights this has caused
Reggae is a music genre that originated in Jamaica; one more reason why I like Jamaicans. Fela kuti on the other hand sings from his heart and he does that with no fear.
Michael Jackson was one of my idols while growing up and I remember shedding a tear or two when his death was announced (I shed a lot of tears actually). I could sing all his songs word for word and this particular song was no different.
"They don't really care about us" was a song sung for the "voiceless". Many things happen underneath and a lot of people can't air their views and even if they manage to air some of their views, nobody listens.
This is a collaboration that has gone viral. Iniko has an amazing voice and whenever I listen to the remix of this song, I get goosebumps (yes, her vocals are that amazing). I like that she brought back Michael Jackson's song to life.
Michael was the voice of the people and his songs are evidence to prove this.
I heard this song during one of my music escapades and I liked it. Charlie Puth is the voice behind this amazing rendition and its lyrics are very easy to understand.
A lot of people would easily relate to this song as at one point or another, they have been heartbroken by a friend or a partner or anyone.
These were three different tunes which had a span of twenty years of variation. How music has evolved through the years. I hope you liked them. Which was your favourite?
With love, wongi ✨
