With a consistent torrent of new music flooding the wireless transmissions consistently, it takes an extraordinary impetus to rise above past secrecy.
Considering how unpredictable the musical landscape is in Zimbabwe, some blow up overnight while others have taken a more conventional way toward the spotlight.
But for Cleo, she is ready to rock and roll in the murky waters that have produced fewer female stars in the last decade or so.
Perhaps she is the one we were waiting for.
Gifted with both the look, voice and ability to strum the guitar, Cleo has dropped her ‘breakout’ single titled Handisiye.
In the song, she speaks to self, as someone who has had an early exposure to the music industry through the DreamStar competition.
It’s a motivational song to never give up, we have had a barrage of those but each one has a meaning and usually a personal one.
Handisiye was written by Trevor Dongo and Macdonald Macdee Chidavaenzi with the latter also on the production.
The only way you will comprehend the genuine worth of your ability is if you show up, she sings in the song.
Totangira ipapo is our favourite line from the song, as she again pumps in that positive energy into our souls.
In a nutshell, the song unmistakenly trademarked with that Trevor D and Macdee melody is about having an irrepressibly optimistic outlook on life.
