Diana by Steve’Slil
'I Cut You Cafe' and his other songs must have been teasers of the love morphology you know of the Buea-based love mechanic, Steve's Lil.
The young heart mender returns with a new and elegant style of grasping his woman’s interest in 'Diana', with inspiration from childhood song used by male children to win the 'ignoring' interest of the females.
The Cameroonian sultry R&B/Afro-pop describes 'Diana' as a musical marriage between post- independence highlife music and contemporary Afro-pop harmony.
In essence, Diana embodies the traditional harmonic rhythm which could be dubbed “Palm wine music” , married with western instruments. Diana incarnates the folkloric tone popularly chanted during the post-independence era.
The song is an expression of love and appreciation to God (Eta Mandem, thank you …) for giving him a beautiful wife who deserves all the sacrifices a man can make give , just to make her happy; “na with you I go fly , America, Europe, Africa , to Asia coz you be my baby” .
Steveslil’s vocal timbre and delivery perfectly gives the groove the song deserves.
