icking off summer,
Harare was buzzing with a rather busy week of festivals and fashion galore mainly at Shoko Festival and Zimbabwe Fashion Week. We managed to juggle both events mixing, mingling and enjoying eyecatching and ear capturing entertainment. In this issue the boys took over and we sat down with hip hop spoken word artist, Synik who explained why he created Sin City in effort to create the right kind of world. Comedian Q the Boss took us on a comical journey whilst we went deep with Harare's finest house club DJ-producers, Deep Legendz. Summer is about all things bright and beautiful so why not brighten it with some trendy fashion including changing your colour and adding some white to your wardrobe. It is also time to work out that body and get into shape not only for the sole purpose to having a banging body but for the sake of your health. On the subject of health October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month so we took time to look into the important facts on early detection and possible prevention lifestyles.

In the Groove… Shoko Festival All year round in Zimbabwe there are several artistic and cultural festivals going on and with each comes a different vibe and bigger, newer and explosive acts. One of the most important and talked about festivals on the urban scene is non-other than the internationally acclaimed Shoko Festival. With the theme "Re-inspire & to re-imagine!” one could only imagine what this year's festival has got in store. Shoko did something different this year in the form of ambassadors from Zimbabwe who will be headline acts at the festival and these include Netsayi, Tehn Diamond, Ammara Brown, Q the Boss, Jason Leroux, Rax & Raydizz and Ba Shupi. Also headlining this year's festival was German-Nigerian singer and songwriter Nneka, who unfortunately pulled out last minute and was then replaced by South Africa's award winning Motswako rapper, Hip Hop Pantsula, (HHP for short). South African duo of Loyiso Gola and Chester Missing also headlined the Shoko Comedy Night both fused in a cocktail with Zimbabwe's very own comedians. And for poetry lovers, Buddy Wakefield from the USA took over the spoken word stage.
MTV VMAs
We waited all year long for pop culture's most popular music video awards, the MTV Video Music Awards (which we always compare year by year which ones are better). This year at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards Miley Cyrus took home the top award for her Terry Richardson-helmed "Wrecking Ball" clip — but had someone else take the stage to accept her Moon man and deliver a passionate speech about teenage homelessness in America. Meanwhile, other winners included Lorde, who collected the trophy for Best Rock Video for "Royals"; Katy Perry, whose "Dark Horse" earned Best Female Video; Drake nabbed Best Hip-Hop Video for his "Hold On, We're Going Home" mini-movie; and Ariana Grande, who picked up Best Pop Video for her "Problem" short. Beyoncé shut down all rumours of her divorce as she had husband Jay Z and daughter Blue Ivy with her on stage as she received her Michael Jackson Vanguard award after giving her best award performance ever in a medley of her best hits mostly from her self-titled album, “Beyoncé”. Now that was flawless!
ZIMA Awards Back! Back in 2003, Zimbabweans got a taste of the first ever national music awards, the Zimbabwe Music Awards, which had potential to grow, since there was a birth of an era of new artists, this was a great way of merging the older and well established generation of musicians and the younger, upcoming generation. So after a seven year absence, the Zimbabwe Music Awards (ZIMA) returned and the much hyped about awards shows which were originally set for Friday October 3, 2014 finally took place on October 29, 2014 at the Harare International Conference Centre (HICC). A number of big industry players attended including representatives from the top radio stations in the country, models, artists from different music genres and the public at large. Zimbabweans got a taste of a night of entertainment however, because of the supposed size of the event, there should have been fewer glitches and it was important to deliver what was promised. Maybe ZIMA 2015 will have better and more co-operate sponsors, better planning and organization to as to meet a world class awards show.
BET Hip Hop Awards 2014
The 2014 BET Hip-Hop Awards was an action packed night as usual. Surprising no one, Drake took home the coveted Album of the Year award for 'Nothing Was the Same' as well as Best Hip Hop Video for 'Worst Behavior.' Rivals Nicki Minaj and Iggy Azalea both took home awards this year, Nicki winning the Made You Look Award and Iggy winning the Who Blew Up Award. Kanye West deservedly took home an award for Best Live Performer, and Kendrick Lamar won Lyricist of the Year. Along with the big winners of the night, the audience was treated to performances of the hottest songs of the year. Young boys Rae Sremmurd started off the show with "No Flex Zone," and the all-star evening ended with Bobby Shmurda getting the audience dancing the "schmoney dance" with "Hot Ni**a".
Booty Wars Ever since the word 'bootylicious' became legally English the obsession with women's gluteus Maximus has become both a trend and craze. And then Miley Cyrus brought 'twerking' into the picture (another now legal word in the Oxford dictionary), female celebrities have used all forms of media to outdo each other's derrière. Whether it's Kim Kardashian West's booty selfie, Amber Rose's victory twerk for now soon-to-be ex-husband, Wiz Khalifa, Nicki Minaj giving Drake an “Anaconda” lap dance or J Lo's 'historical' 'booty' (according to Diddy that is); all women are fighting for the position for the 'queen of booty'. Is this what pop culture has come to, where people compete about a part of their anatomy? Ladies, there is no need to go to war; you all have a very bright future behind you! (In the fine words of Snoop Dogg.)

Poetic Justice
By Peggie Shangwa
Groove magazine caught up with the phenomenal Hip Hop/ Spoken word artist Synik who notonly gave us an insight on what drives his art but to also update us on what's been happening on the Hip Hop frontier. We managed to steal some time in between his rehearsals to sit down and chat with Gerald 'Synik' Mugwenhi and what an amazing and relaxing time we has with the down to earth Hip Hop and Spoken word Artist.
COVER STORY
Synik: "Sin City" which came out in 2012, was a play on a movie by that name but its more about 'Synik City'-about my interaction with Harare and how it eventually shaped me. Prior to meeting with Begotten Son, the guy who then produced the album, none of the tracks existed. I met up with the guys who created the concept for the album and they were

Hip Hop in Zimbabwe is interesting for various reasons. I don't think it's the most widely accepted art form but those who practice it; it's a beautiful way to express yourself.
songs evolved as we added some live elements. The whole process was organic; it lasted two and a half months. It's a 12 track album and some of the songs are autobiographical, songs like "Hamurarwe" that paints a picture of my interaction with the city and how I saw it. "Muripo", which is three letters, I write to members of my family. "Losing sleep" is a song about my then girlfriend and still my best friend. "Life I chose" is a song which talks about my decisions to leave my job at the

MUSIC
GM: Tell us about your album "Sin City"?
I was seeing a lot of injustices around me and how the people were rising up. Around the same time of the Arab Spring.
Synik: My band kind of broke up after we did "Sin City", so we did a few shows but because sometimes I feel like my music is not the type where you have a regular spot at a club. I wasn't chasing shows much. When I applied for HIFA I got a couple of guys' together and started rehearsal a month before HIFA then I got the heads up. The audience at the Coke Green were with us from the time we got on stage, went through the set and the response was amazing. That is when we did "Marching as one" and the audience got up and marched with us. We got a standing ovation which was beautiful, a plus for me and for Hip Hop. GM: Do you have any upcoming projects? Synik: I worked with Depth at HIFA and we are working on a project which we hope will come out soon. There is an Austrian Producer who reached out. I've done a track with him. He has this sound that really complements what I try to talk about, introspective Hip Hop. There is also my sophomore album which people are already expecting, so I need to get into the Studio. GM: Who have you worked with and who would you like to work with? Synik: Like I mentioned before I have worked with FTR, The Begotten Son, Shayzar, Yogi Dojour, a dude called Squash who is like a musical genius, Junior Bantan, Ngonie who is incredible on keys. A dude called V who is a saxophone genius, Kito, Aura, Tehn Diamond,Jnr Brown, Metaphysics and Munetsi.I have done internet collaborations with people from Nigeria a guy called Fheko the MC, producer called Degreen, Rhymaster Richy and Senegal Russell. I would like to work with as many people as inspire me because I think collaborating is a process where you sharpen each other. You come out of your comfort zones and you create something different. GM: What do you think can be done to improve the way people receive Hip Hop in Zim? Synik: I think Zim Hip Hop is largely affected by the way the Americans mainstream Hip Hop has become misogynistic and a materialistic art where adverts are disguised as rap songs. That is what people are exposed to, the minute you say that you are a Hip Hop artist they put you in the same category as Lil Wayne and Rick Ross. It doesn't help that some of our own artists try to pretty much recreate that same music in form and content despite lacking relevance to the environment they are in. Others factors are issues such as the language the rapper uses to use. In any case the best way to build your audience is to maintain our originality and be consistent in achieving quality music to the existing audience that way it grows. GM: What is your favourite song on your playlist? Synik: I'm stuck on Paramuche-post traumatic stress Disorder- as an MC if you can come close to what he does with words... and Stereophonics- Maybe tomorrow that song brings me home. GM: You were recently at a festival in Senegal. Tell us about that from how you got the gig to the experience? Synik: I for the gig through a cultural organization that I've done a lot of work within the past year. I've pretty much performed at a lot of their shows and I think that's how I developed my performances. They had a link with the Festival. I think last year they sent someone through. This year they asked if I could go and that was through Magamba Network so I said "yeah" (excitedly). The partner that does the festival from Senegalese called Afrikut Urban. This was the 12th or so edition; it's a pretty big thing there. The experience was mind blowing. Firstly, the country itself is so different from anything that I have seen. I've been to a few of the SADC countries and they are not so different from home but well Senegal has a whole different vibe. The buildings, the people, the food, the colours everything is different so I was blown away by that and also how Hip Hop is actually a huge movement that still speaks relevant issues and is still such a force that it can affect things in the political sphere. Hip hop is alive in some parts of Africa. There were artists from a number of places in the world. Interacting with them and seeing how different it was amazing. I learnt a lot from the people. I was only

Growing up I used to love…
Synik: (He laughs so heartily its contagious.) I used to love video games. I had my little TV in my room, played super Mario, adventure Island, Gold in China then we moved up to Sega Mega drive and PlayStation. I don't think I play video games that much anymore. I update my twitter and Facebook statuses… Synik: I update my twitter regularly not as much as my Facebook which is kind of just there. I love updating my twitter. There is interesting things on twitter. I think I follow some crazy people. And the fact that you have to condense your message into such a small thing makes you say stuff that's really on point. My parents taught me… Synik: What did my parents teach me...My parents taught me that things are going to be okay in the end. That's what my mum always said. Always have hope. I think that's one of the things I hold on to in my life regardless of the situation. My mum isn't a liar. It's going to be okay. What makes you laugh the most? Synik: Recently I've been watching “Keel and Peel”. They have their moments. They are kind of stupid but it's a comedy thing so it makes me laugh. It's hilarious! I'm turned off by… Synik: People who aren't really themselves. A lot of people are copies of copies. Originals are much more fun. My worst habit is… Synik: The minute you said that an Xzibit song popped into my head. It's not such a cool song its (he starts rapping) call it what you want to call it. I'm a freaking alcoholic.(Sic!) No like, I'm not an alcoholic but you know sometimes I feel like I should tone it down a little bit and focus on me. I like a girl who is…
Synik: Oh no! (Laughs so hard for almost a minute) Okay! Maybe I'm kind of silly but I like a girl who likes what I like. Likes what I want to like. Like the music I listen to, hip hop and Neo-soul. A girl who reads a lot. A girl who is genuine! The one person I love to hate is… Synik: A part of me is thinking Kanye West. Why am I thinking Kanye West. The new Kanye West, I can't stand him. The old Kanye was cool. My friends' best describe me as… Synik: Shy.

Groove Meter… WHO'S HOT? Gigi LaMayne's Colour of Reign It takes a lot to be a lyricist, moreso a female rapper who has a predominately male industry in which she has to contend and claim dominance. In Africa there are a fast growing number of female emcees and award winning South African Genesis Gabriella Tina Manney who likes to be known as Gigi LaMayne is proving that she is one to watch out for…actually maybe the industry should watch the throne as Gigi shared with Groove Magazine about her “Colour of Reign”. GM: Using the track list off your album “Colour of Reign”, tell us about yourself and how “Colour of Reign” came about? Gigi: Well “Colour of Reign” was a quest sought by a young female Hip Hop artist to find herself as well as her core trait as an artist. In finding all of this, it was the decision of executive producers of Mix Masters as well as myself, to try and find what I was about. I mean I always knew that I could rap, but what value would I add to the industry. There are many emerging female Hip Hop artists in SA, but what would make me different throughout Africa. GM: Your first single “YaJika Lento” has received massive response in terms of airplay and viewership and it even became number one on YFM. What's your overall perception of your album's chart topping success? Gigi: Need I not remind readers that this is a mix tape and not even an album. I think I have been one of the first Hip Hop artists in the country to take on the risk of putting a major single on a mix tape. We all know that a “Mix tape” is usually a run up to an album. All the tracks are merely yard sticks for what is to come. We are only as good as our last work. Thank goodness for Shayzar, who managed to guide me on this musical journey. GM: As a female emcee in Africa, what challenges
GM
do you face or do you think that women enjoy as much hype and success as men in the hip hop community?
Gigi: I feel like women are the main reason for their lack of enjoyment of many endeavors in the industry as a whole. The lack of unity as well as the inability to take one's craft seriously. I am very adamant in saying that women need to take themselves seriously before men can do the same. It does not help dreaming of a particular pinnacle and being hesitant about how to get there. We need to uplift ourselves and each other before we get to a place where men see as fit competitors. I really worry when I see a lack of unity or females snubbing each other every chance they get. We need to address the problems at the foundation before we can look at other issues.

GM: Talking about hip hop, why did you pick this specific music genre and do you have any inspirations/role models in music that motivated you? Gigi: Hip Hop was there when I lost people in my life whether to death, jealousy or a lack of ambition. Hip Hop is the first musical genre with a soundtrack for every occurrence in life whether heart break, death, marriage or political discontent. It would have been impossible for me, as an individual with so much baggage, to ignore the idea of communicating with many like me. The strongest factor about being involved in hip hop is that we are the most expressive, yet insoluble individuals on the planet. We have broken down many barriers inflicted on us by societal structures. My role models funny enough included Bob Marley, Brenda Fassie, Eminem, Tupac and Quincy Jones. GM: We hear that you are in school, what are you studying and do you believe that it will be beneficial to your music career?
GM: You have quite a bevy of artists, mostly rappers that you worked with on “Colour of Reign”; who would you like to work with in the near future? Gigi: Tumi, Amu, L-Tido, Rashid, Siya Shezi, Mr. Calibre and Maraza. GM: As 2014 rounds off, what can fans expect from Gigi LaMayne in 2015 and beyond? Gigi: A HUGE TURN-OVER! This article serves as a symbol of recognition to all the people who support me. I am not one to talk. I act. I do feel like my people will be proud of what's about to happen.
1.2 reasons that people should get “Colour of Reign” ·It is by one of the doppest artists in Africa. ·Its new age Hip Hop with a twist on lyricism.
2.2 reasons why Gigi is the current best female emcee ·She is an artist and entertainer at heart. ·She teams up with artists to rap like the best of the boys; even though she is a girl.

One of, if not Beyonce's most egotistical songs whereby she firms her status that in who she is and everything that she does is "flawless"! She admonishesher followers for being followers and commanding their respect. She highlights that to be where she is, she has worked hard and it has very little to do with her being married to a hip hop mogul. She guests Nigerian poet-writer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie who goes deep on the inadequacy culture provides women and girls of any age fated to subservient roles, as to not upset the man in any given equation. In other words this song is about being an unapologetic female who can contribute to society as much as a male can and you can look in the mirror in the morning and know the image staring back at you is flawless, and it will have no irony or self-deprecation attached, because you own it just as Beyoncé does. The remix of the same song featuring top female emcee, Nicki Minaj, is ballsy and lyrically boosts any woman's ego to stand up confidently and call her "Flawless"!
Beyoncé is the queen of girl-power anthems and with a life like hers she truly epitomizes the girl who runs the world. This song is her manifesto on work-related pay equality and acceptance in the male gaze, She is the top selling female artist of our time, she is married t o one of music's most powerful men, she rubs shoulders and is friends with some of the most influential people in the world including the President and First Lady of the United States Of America and media mogul, Oprah Winfrey. With powerful lyrics and amazing choreography, Queen Bey makes being a girl on top looks so easy. Beyoncé represents everything a woman should be allowed to become, leveling the challenges women face in being accepted or treated with dignity.
Written by Beyonce herself and The Dream just after her 2008 nuptials to husband Jay Z, this song was befitting to say that if the man "likes it" then there is one thing to do... "put a ring on it".The notion of telling your man to “put a ring on it” is not some girlish squeal of nuptial bliss in Beyoncé’s world, it’s an ultimatum; pick me or don’t. By showcasing marriage as a bond rather than entrapment, both men and women alike took notice of the higher status that an engagement ring holds over couples and society at large
What is a diva? According to the B-ctionary, a diva is a female version of a "hustler". Beyoncé underscores a repositioning of equality for her skills up against any artist – male or female she can take them all on. Demanding respect has never sounded so gloriously boss. Beyoncé really delivers on her royal status as Queen B here and should be a calling card for any woman who’s attempting to break down barriers in life due to the impractical challenges women face receiving the same notice as their male counterparts, let alone getting recognised whatsoever.

2014
Zimbabwe Fashion week, ZFW for short, was one of the events that Groove Magazine was on the scene and we applaud Zimbabwe Fashion Week founder and director, Priscilla Chigariro and team for hosting yet another successful Zim Fashion Week, which by the way happens to be the fourth largest fashion week in Africa. The stage was amazing and to date this year's ZFW was the most attended, meaning that Zimbabweans are slowly taking an appreciation of fashion and as more international buyers came in we hope that it has also challenged our local market to appreciate the Zimbabwean fashion market. The line-up was brilliant with a variety of innovative fashions which everyone should buy into and wear. We were also thrilled at "Game Of Thrones" actor Yuri Kolokolnikov's (Styr) presence as a buyer at the event. As the days progressed from the opening evening, the function was more on schedule and the Fashion awards were both entertaining and made the Sunday a great social evening. Looking forward to seeing more of the celebrities wearing local designer labels for public, corporate and social events; areas of business and we hope for a bigger and better Zimbabwe Fashion Week 2015.

Flirting
Tips f o r Men & Women
You are single and loving it but you wouldn't mind spicing up your 'love life' with a little harmless flirting or if you are trying to make a smooth transition into finding that 'special' someone. Flirting is a special way of behavior to show that two people are sexually or romantically interested or attracted to each other. Once you see an attractive person you can't help it but flirt. The process of flirting may be shown by body language, eye contact, tone of voice, touch, or a combination of any of these actions. It's a kind of way to get attention to your personality and as more efficient your flirting skills the more attention you will get from your companion.People flirt for many reasons, but it is often playful in a natural way and may be very elusive at times and very obvious at other times. Here are some tips on how to flirt with success: For the ladies … ·Show interest. Show you're interested in him, smile, look at him, and find ways to attract his attention. ·Initiate a conversation. Find out what does he like, his interests and start talking loud, or ask his opinion on the subject. ·Ask questions. This will show you're interested in getting to know him, not just interested in talking about yourself. ·Be flirtatious. Use feminine charms such as good sense of humor, body language, eye contact, voice intonation, so on. ·Break the touch barrier. Finding small ways to touch him is an obvious signal that you're flirting, and shows him that you're willing to make a small level of physical contact. ·Don't be a pain in the neck, keep it light. Nobody likes boring people, if you make him bored you'll lose your change to date him forever. ·Pay him a complement. Say something like this: “You look great today, or nice t-short my favorite color, or love your shoes.” ·Know when to leave. First communication shouldn't be too long; you have to stay mysterious for him, to make him want to know you better. And for the guys … ·Be confident. Women like confident “Alpha males”, who can initiate a conversation, make the first move. ·Smile. Women find a genuine smile very sexy. ·Be playful, funny, and smart. This is a killer combination that women can't resist. ·Pay compliments. Women love to hear compliment about their beauty and cloths. ·Make her feel like she's the most important at the moment. Women love to be cherished. ·Be a gentleman. Don't offer sex on a first date. ·Be yourself. Don't try to impress her, or pretend to be someone you're not, be yourself, be attentive, caring, easy-going.

Make This Summer Bright White By Natasha Kanonuhwa
As summer is evidently here, the time to embrace the all-white ensemble is starting now. The concept of single-note, summer dressing has been adopted by a bevy of chic young things across the globe. Spring and summer is the perfect season to rock this ultra-cool look. Contrary to popular belief, anyone can wear it. Here are seven points you need to keep in mind…
1.
Golden rule: wear flesh-coloured underwear Contrary to popular belief about black and white underwear being the ideal colours to wear with white clothing; these colours will show through. Undies that are as close to your skin tone as possible are your best bet.
2. Transparency: always check for this before
making the purchase All you have to do is place your fingers under the garment under natural lighting and if you can see them, the item will be see-through when you wear it. You might need to buy a slip or camisole to wear underneath.
3. Avoid smudging and staining All marks will
show on a white garment. Avoid, applying make-up after putting your garments on and covering your top with a towel when putting foundation or powder on. Also avoid spraying perfume directly onto whites. Try spraying onto the undergarments instead.
4. Match your whites Sometimes mixing the
different shades of white (ivory, ice white, cream, vanilla, eggshell etc.) can look amazing, but sometimes it can make the other whites look dull. Be mindful of how your whites work together.
you are going to wear white sandals, please make sure your feet and toes look their absolute best. White draws a lot of attention, and usually shines due to contrast with darker skin tones.
6. Neutrals Neutrals
such as silvers, greys and pale creamy tones add the perfect accent to a white-on-white ensemble while preserving the monochromatic style.
7. Keep it simple All-white is a high impact
statement on its own, so there is never a need to over-complicate it by over-accessorising. Will you be rocking the white-on white trend this spring and summer? Here are some white items that you can rock this summer:

Colour Me Good This season is all about embracing colour, whether you are a guy and you want to rock Chris Brown's blonde locks (but steer clear of Wiz Khalifa's Crayola hair invasion) or play around with colour a la Rihanna; who is the epitome of hair colour transitions. It is important that one takes note of the important details before you dye your hair: Your hair can be damaged by applying colour when your hair isn't healthy enough to handle the harsh chemicals. Before you colour your hair, you need to make sure it is nourished and healthy so as to be able to withstand any chemical damage, and to prevent breakage and moisture loss. If you'd like to colour your hair, but it' s not 100% healthy, try products that treat damaged or unhealthy hair, which will strengthen and fortify your hair. To minimize damage make sure your hair is healthy before you colour it. You need to be consistent when it comes to maintaining and nourishing your hair because this is what keeps it strong. Make sure you go for treatments every two weeks and moisturise your hair daily to keep it healthy and strong. Get your hair coloured by a professional like your hairstylist who has the skill and experience necessary to colour your hair correctly. Note that he colour comes out one shade darker than the colour you see on the box, so keep that in mind when choosing your colour. Choose a shade that will compliment your skin tone and that's easy to wear at the ofďŹ ce and when you're out on the weekend. Moisturise your hair to maintain your coloured hair. We recommend the repairing and strengthening treatment which are good as they prevent/repair damage that may be caused by colouring. Get ones that contain natural ingredients such as coconut oil, castor oil and mafura butter which nourish and treat the hair and scalp to ensure healthy hair. So what is better, temporary or permanent hair dye? Temporary colour is much healthier than permanent colour because it doesn't penetrate into your hair. It stays on the outer layer of hair, so it is less likely to damage your hair. It takes about 6 to 8 washes to remove the colour and you can apply colour again straight after as long as your healthy is healthy and strong.

Making the Right Impression 7 ways to make a good first impression in business
First impressions last and the fortunate, or unfortue thing is that they last. So how do you make a great one when meeting a new business contact? Thankfully there are plenty of tips and advice for those looking to improve theirs. Here are a few of these insights: 1. Attend to the basics Appearance matters, whether we like it or not. Looking polished, professional, and not overdone in your appearance is the founda tion for any good first impression. 2. Set an intention Goals matter when meeting new people as much as they matter in other areas of life. Take a moment before you attend an event to ponder exactly what image you hope to project, and whom you'd like to meet. 3. Let them talk first One of the best ways to win people's confidence is simply to let them talk first. If you want to establish trust, “let the other person speak first or have the floor first,” social psychologist Ann Cuddy recommends in a Wired interview. 4. Don't skimp on the eye contact You've probably been told somewhere along the line that making eye contact is a signal of sincerity, but according to the latest research it also makes you seem smarter. “People who make more eye contact are perceived as more intelligent,” reports the British Psychological Society (BPS) Research Digest blog, but the post also warns against overdoing it on the basis of yet more research. “Don't go too far with the eye contact though – if you lock on and don't let go, people will likely assume you're psychopathic.” 5. Pay attention to how fast you're speaking (and watch your 'ums' and 'ahs') What else do recent studies have to teach us about making a killer first impression? The BPS post offers one more useful set of findings. “Back in the '70s, researchers created over 50 synthetic voices and played them to participants at various speeds. Increasing speech rate led participants to assume the owner of the voice was more competent,” it reports. “The participants who were played the slowed-down tapes rated the interviewees as less truthful, less fluent, and less persuasive. Other research has shown that people who 'um' and 'ah' a lot are assumed to not know what they're talking about.” 6. Reveal your flaws. You'd think that with first impressions it pays to be as polished and perfect as possible, but experts actually insist that showing your vulnerabilities and weaknesses can actually be both endearing and empowering. 7. Do it in person. When meeting an important new contact for the first time, if at all possible try to do it face to face rather than over the phone or via a video chat, science suggests.
Album Reviews Editor's Choice:
Chris Brown – X
Album Reviews
Review There's one thing for sure, there are a lot of babies that are going to be made this year thanks to Breezy' s album. Chris Brown's attempts at appealing to all corners of the urban pop spectrum at-present are commendable with half of X representing some of Pop R&B's most impressive cuts of 2014 , Brown still faces being supremely talented yet always far less than optimally successful. The strongest tracks: The Michal Jackson inspired “ Add Me In” in which Chris Brown expresses that he can be a better boyfriend than the other guy. “Drunk Texting” and “Do Better” which feature female duets with Jhene Aiko and Brandy respectively delivering mature performances that when melded with Brown's sometimes juvenile real-life behavior make both listens feel like more conversations on Brown's current life. Thelove-sexy rhythm and blues on tracks such as "New Flame", the panty dropping "Drown In It" featuring the "Pied Piper" himself, R Kelly. "Fine China" and "Loyal" are the best-known hits on the album to-date. The weakest tracks: Well pretty much the rest of the tracks including the progressive House track “Don't Be Gone Too Long” which features the petite big voiced Arian Grande.(Love the visuals though!)
Rate: 3 1/2 groove speakers
Overall review: X hit all the right notes in as much as it missed. For what was to be a brilliant album Chris Brown showed a talent that was all over the place and less concentrated in one area. In lesser words-Chris Brown did too much on one album. The good tracks were fantastic showcasing Breezy as R&B's don of this era and making X the best male R&B album to date. The weaker tracks though, remind most fans and critics of how sometimes Chris misses the mark by being erratic, however by presumably bringing elements of his personal life into this album, Chris Brown has proved once again why he is the talent he is despite all adversities and that is why he will have a strong career regardless. Get it for: All the hit songs especially “Loyal”, “Fine China” and “New Flame”; and of course if you are on #TeamBreezy!
Tinashe Aquarius Review It is often said that you have only one chance to make a début, and well with this album, "Aquarius", Tinashe did not reach the expectations of all the hype over her anticipated début album. With a couple of strong mix-ta pes under her belt, 2014 has brought the first legitimate album release from this rising songstress, formerly part of the pop girl group 'The Stunners'. Her début album "Aquarius," is definitely sexy as Tinashe lays her breathy, sultry vocals on each track, lyrically though, some tracks remain rather mediocre compared to other "future" R&B female artists who have also released their albums this year including Jhene Aiko's impressive "Souled Out", which means Tinashe hasn't arrived yet. But she cannot be discredited for her hard work, since she has been known to produce her own tracks, although on this album she worked with the likes of DJ Mustard along with Redwine and DJ Marley Waters, Stargate, Boi-1da, Evian Christ, De tail, Blood Diamonds and Mike WiLL Made It on her album production. Strongest tracks: The obvious, "2 On" which garnered Rate: 3 Groove speakers
Simba Tagz featuring Ice Prince-Don't Leave (Remix)
Album Reviews
Tinashe some international attention as a solo star. The Mustard produced track featuring rapper SchoolBoy Q, has become one of the biggest tracks in 2014. "Pretend" which features another rapper, A$AP Rocky is another strong track, in which Tinashe not only throws in some good vocals on the upbeat ballad, the track is lyrically relatable, although, A$AP Rocky doesn't really offer up any sort of lyrical gems that have found him success. "Far Side of the Moon" happens to be a favourite of ours, which finds Tinashe pouring out her heart out on yet another upbeat tempo, whilst "Feels like Vegas" will take a listener's mind to a seductive imagination where, she sings all the things she would want to do to you. (And you know what they say about Vegas...right?) Fellas! Here's your fantasy! Weak Tracks: Pretty much most of the tracks including the title track "Aquarius", "All Hands on Deck.", "Bet" which features Dev Hynes and "Wild Fire" which doesn't set ablaze any speaker. The numerous interludes are a bit...well nothing to ride home about even for a few seconds. Get it: If you are a grown male who likes music made by a 21-year old version of Beyoncé, or if "2 On" really turned you on and you want more of that kind of music. Overall review: Tinashe is the hottest thing since fresh bread, in terms of the looks department, because she is "hella, hella hot", so she is off to a good start. Her choreography could place her in the same league as Beyoncé and Ciara, whom we suggest she could copy their templates. "Aquarius" isn't an astonishing album, it sounds like an upgraded version of Cassie's music, (anyone re member her?). But it is definitely listen-able and enjoyable, because Tinashe's voice is sexy on the ears (there is parental advisory on the album), and one can watch the videos over and over...and over again for reasons obvious...
Singles
Review Finally we got to listen to multi-talented artist Simba Tagz remix to his single "Don't Leave" featuring Nigerian megastar Ice Prince. The track takes a rather different turn for both artists as t he track is on a reggae tip. The good bit, the song sounds different and serves as an artistic challenge to both artists on whether they could do a genre outside their comfort zone; the bad bit, for two amazing artists the track fell short of superb, which is quite disappointing. But in support of pan-African collaborations, one can listen and enjoy the song. This is the first single of Tagz' debut commercial album which is set to drop next year. The original version of “Don't Leave”, was on 'The Black' album. Rate: 2 Groove speakers
Deep Legendz featuring Crimson Blu-Summer Sounds
Album Reviews
Review For those unfamiliar with who Deep Legendz is, they are duo o f 27 year-old, must we add fine club DJs/music producers/radio personalities namely DJ Eskay (ZiFM Stereo) and DJ Icytat (Star FM House of Royalty) and current resident DJs at the upmarket Maestro Restaurant-Lounge. There is no other group of DJs in Harare who not only love but understand the depth of house music as these two (you must check out their sets). Evidently taking the route of most if not all house/dance DJs, Deep Legendz are giving us a possible hit for summer. Featuring South African based Zimbabwean female vocalist, Crimson Blu, the track titled "Summer Sounds" follows through into a deep wavy sound that one can relaxingly listen to or dance to with no sweat. So summer here's your song. Rate: 3 Groove speakers
On the
decks … They might be twenty-seven but these young men are 'deep' and that's probably why they go by the name Deep Legendz. Simbarashe Kaparipari and Tawanda Takure who are known by their aliases as DJ Eskay and DJ Icytat, respectively, caught our attention by playing their sets to a mature crowd at the upmarket restaurant lounge, Maestro and we were hooked. Their sets are unlike others because these young men, go deep with a popular dance genre of 'house'-they play 'deep house' to unwind the minds of all the hard working patrons who escape to Maestro to get that right vibe for the weekend. It was an honour to get to meet and sit down with these young 'maestros' of the decks and find out what makes them tick.
GM: Welcome gentleman to Groove Magazine and for the sake of our readers could you please give us a brief introduction to who Deep Legendz is? Icytat: Deep Legendz consists of Icytat and Eskay who are house music DJ and producers. Eskay: We thought of ourselves as the guys who would pioneer house music in Zimbabwe because at that time no one really appreciated house music; so we would be the legends. In 2010 no one was playing house music so we are proud to say that we were the ones who brought in house music Zimbabwe. The 'deep' part of it is because we are into deep house which is our heartbeathence 'Deep Legendz'.
decks
GM.: So tell us, how did you get into deejaying? And as producers what projects have you worked on?
On the
Icytat: We started right about 2006 as a brand as Deep Legendz, but before that we were doing house music productions. So far we have worked on two albums, our first album was called “Going Deep”, it came out in 2010 at about the time we came back from South Africa. The album consists of 12 tracks and the ones that made it popular into the main stream are “Katswe”, “Walk Away”, “African Sun”, we also did a special remix for Hope Masike's 'Nalitemwa' which got most popular up till now; “No Zimba, No Africa” which is basically a poem about our appreciation of Zimbabwe being a part of Africa and the remix to Oliver Mtukudzi's “Hatidi Hondo” featuring Qness. GM.: Is the club deejay industry viable in Zimbabwe? Icytat: Our first proper residence was at Newlands at this club called “The Lounge” that was in September 2013 until December and then we moved in to our current, before that we were just doing parties and guest appearances at various clubs. There is money made but I think there can be more that could be done, firstly the challenges we face as DJs are the venues, the clubs, they are not consistent, most of the clubs in Harare are not consistent, you have a place that plays every genre but for that place to last long it's a miracle. Maestro is different, they stick to what they want, like specifically Wednesdays they have 'Jazz night', they play completely jazz and they have a big crowd that follow that kind of genre and for Friday we play specifically deep house with a big crowd that appreciates. I think club owners have got a lot to take or learn rather from Maestro, to have consistency in whatever they offer because you can't have a place where you place everything like a mix tape, that doesn't work; almost every club that opens in Harare ends up doing that because they just want to have large number of followers and that will be fine for the first couple of months but I bet it won't even last like 5 months because people get tired of hearing the same songs over and over again. Club deejaying is viable but with the current economic situation in Z imbabwe, things have not been that stable but I think that Harare as a city has more to offer and it could be a really viable business or rather industry. Eskay: Deejaying is a viable industry if you are a specializing. However almost everyone who gets a laptop and has virtual DJ has decided to become a deejay and that has a negative impact on us deejays because the contracts that DJs get are for playing from the laptop. That defeats the whole art because people do not understand the art and the terms of dee jaying hence people get contracts for not using the proper deejaying tools. The market is flooded by the really good deejays and the other guys. GM.: You are currently resident DJs at Maestro Restaurant Lounge, how has that experience been? Icytat: I'm yet to see a place like Maestro in Zimbabwe cause on the days we place it's strictly deep house music which is a hard genre even for the basic house lovers to really grasp but this is the most popular worldwide, deep house is what goes first before you get your trans or vim, so maestro is something else, we play every Friday from 7 pm to 2 a.m. To me it's like a miracle cause you can't find a place especially in Harare were they appreciate house music, deep house to be specific and it's been quite an experience. And the highlight for this year was when we did the Frankie Knuckles tribute, it was nice. We had guest DJs Elroy from Power FM and Reverb7. Eskay: It has been awesome because I get to play my genre of interest which is deep house music. GM.: You both play on our local radio stations. What shows do you host and what is that experience like? Icytat: I'm currently doing a house music show that I both produce and co-present called the House Of Royalty Star FM 9:25 a.m. to 10 a.m. It actually started as an experiment because they wanted a show that was genre based so to speak. So I came up with the concept and wrote down a structure of how basic a house music show would be like and they saw it and appreciated it. It's been great been on radio since November 2013.
Eskay: I work at ZiFM Stereo where I do two shows called 'The Sunday Old School' and the 'Love Lounge'. The Sunday Old School is my best show; I prefer it to the other as I get to appeal to a wider audience which includes the young and old especially those who have an appreciation for old school music-I love those people. And then there is the Love Lounge which is equally good. The show is about love in all its forms, we talk about relationships, help people fall in-love and if they are already in-love-make them fall back into love. It's been an experience; I only started doing the Love Lounge about one year ago but before that when I started I was doing a graveyard shift. GM.: Which artists/DJs would you like to work with locally, regionally and internationally? Icytat: Locally we have worked with quite a lot of big names in house music like Hope Masike, Rutendo Denise, Fungai Nengare, and Oliver Mtukudzi. We also did a lot of remix's with US based artist, Dave Odd, who is the guy who did the “Single Ladies” house remix. We would love to work with DJ Euphonik obviously, he literally mentored our love for house, DJ Kent, DJ fresh and on an international level we would like to work with Rihanna.
Eskay: I have worked with Reverb7, Hope Masike, my partner in crime, Icytat, T Bass, P Styles, Jason Le Roux, Hosea Sengende, DJ V, they are a mouthful. Regionally I have played alongside DJs Black Coffee, Euphonik, and Qness on the Oliver Mtukudzi track. I would like to work with Armin Van Burden, David Guetta but mu biggest dream is to work with The Layabouts and Ralph Gum. GM.: Where do you want to take your deejaying career? Icytat: Deep Legendz is not just a music brand, we are actually thinking of starting a deejaying school in Harare where we teach some of these upcoming deejays how to brand themselves as a deejay and how to present themselves in whatever genre they want to do. We also do motion graphic designs. In the next 2 years we see ourselves as the first house music Zimbabwean based deejay crew to Miami, and we also want to make Harare the next house capital of the world, snatching the title from South Africa. Eskay: To be honest club deejaying is not where I see my career going, actually in a few years I will probably be deejaying for fun not the money. If
decks
you asked about radio then I would have more to say because I feel that club deejays do not have the respect as radio deejays. You matter on air because listen to what you have to say so that to me is a huge responsibility. Whatever you say is meant to impact lives and you cannot impact by playing a song then switching to another song.
On the
GM.: What advice would you give to a young people interested in pursuing deejaying as a part time/full time career? Icytat: The advice that I would like to give to upcoming DJs is to stick to what they know. First they should identify what they want to be like if they want to be a dancehall dj, they should specifically work on that genre. Sticking to what you know best is a good recipe. And there you have the depth on Harare's Deep Legendz who currently have a new single for summer simply titled “Summer Sounds” featuring Crimson which you can get on the iTunes store.
