Kenya's top female music artist Victoria Kimani's features on this weekends countdown with her hot new single Betta as the revelation of the week. After getting so much attention for remixing Ice-prince's Oleku, you need to listen to this talented songstress with an amazing voice.

Victoria Kimani was born in Los Angeles but originally from Kenya. She started writing, recording and performing at 16 and lived in Nigeria through out her high school years. She later moved back to Kenya at 17. Since she came back, she’s being shuffling between LA, ATL, NY and London working with top artists and producers, perfecting and developing her musical and visual craft as well as writing for all sorts of signed artists around the world.

In 2009, she joined a duo called Club Embassy and signed to Los Angeles Laker Ron Artest, and released a mixtape called Diplomatic Immunity hosted by 50 cent’s DJ Whoo Kid. This got over 250,000 downloads and created quite a number of Industry buzz.

Headlining Afro-pop star, Suzan Harvey, who is well known and referred to as Goldie has upped her game in the Nigerian music industry by releasing her sophomore album titled “GOLD RELOADED” under the kennis music platform.

After the release of her debut album , “Gold “ late 2010; an album that garnered her numerous awards and featured hits like “Don’t Touch my Body”, “JawoJawo” and “You Know it” a compilation of some of her best songs and hits, the foremost female pop star has decided to make herself one of the most relevant act with her recent move. The golden music act, who won the City People Award for the best female act, ELOY best female act and Best Afro Pop Female at the Nigerian Music Video Awards, seems ready to repeat her achievements in 2012.

The album is a 15 track masterpiece with deep lyrics and an upbeat tempo that would keep you dancing in the first 6 to 7 tracks. Thereafter, she slows the tempo a bit with a classic, one of my personal favourites off the album titled “Breathe Again”. Furthermore is a skit, then comes track
10 which is an ode to God; the boss of all… The album marks creativity and the showcases the mindset of a young confident girl finding her place in the world. It is a must buy.

Also featured are bonus tracks from the first album like JawoJawo feat Jaywon, Don’t touch my body and You know it Feat Eldee the don. At the moment, several endorsement arms are talking to the naturally gold-coloured music act for an endorsement deal and if all is to be believed, she might be upstaging some popular music acts in 2012. This prominent and yet brilliant music act has been able to weather the storm to become one of the prominent Nigerian female music acts.
