Singer Phy is slowly curving a niche for herself as the act with a diminutive size and a gloriously larger than life voice. As the winner of the Maisha Super Star TV series, Phy has stayed true to her passion of putting out music for her fans.
Hailed as a breath of fresh air to Africa’s new RnB scene, Phy describes the single, Taboo (Taabu) as a heartrending story of "hurting those we love, and the double edged sword of looking for more outside our relationships, in other words…Cheating!”
The song borrows heavily from Trap Soul and Afropop.
