His latest track, “Pawa” (meaning “Power”), is a stirring love ballad that explores the emotional weight of deep affection. Delivered with Mbosso’s signature tenderness, the song uses powerful metaphors to describe how love can leave one both vulnerable and uplifted — as he sings, “naishiwa pawa” (I’m losing power). The lyrics portray his lover as both a source of strength and the very force that weakens him, capturing the emotional push and pull of true love.
Blending smooth instrumentation with a timeless Bongo Flava rhythm, “Pawa” is a showcase of Mbosso’s ability to connect deeply through music. His voice, full of warmth and emotion, carries the message straight to the listener’s heart, making this a standout track in his growing discography.
