HE got to be. After all he’s a prolific, successful musician who’s expected to amaze immeasurably. And he has promised to do what he does best-amaze-on Kenyan soil.
The guy has the ability to astonish both experienced and rookie partygoers but he seems to like doing it differently.
He arrived at the poolside of Intercontinental Hotel rather unexpectedly-at least for the present local musicians and reporters who were busy expending the rare opportunity to clear available meat pieces. Immediately Kanji Mbugua took the mic to introduce him, the evidently staunch believer in God had no time to waste but occupied it totally.He seemed to be in a hurry but love and particularly God's love as he elaborated, controlled his pace.
The man spoke with a nice strong voice which shook the air and visibly his attire. Mentioning his attire and his trouser was placed in the Kirk-Franklins style. You know, loosely placed and begging to be lifted up. Speaking of lifting and Haddon is one guy you can trust to lift you up and up to God in Heaven. Yes he can, just listen to his song After a While and tell me if your down-sodden heart would remain the same.
Then, his trademark spectacles. Lovely. They just bring out the real Deitrick. They give him that domineering presence he exudes everywhere his songs are played; YouTube, MySpace TVs etc.
His voice resembles that perfect tenor sound from a guitar. Huh. Sweet and inviting for everyone but sisters would love it most.
His wife, she of the famed No Looking Back hit song didn’t attend the cocktail because of “slight ailment”. But as my friend (I’m sparing his name) said “she could have tasted some bites by an anopheles mosquito”. Despite her absence, her husband was full of energy but didn’t perform-he’ll abundantly exhilarate believers at Impala Grounds on Saturday.
The presence of A-star, Kanji Mbugua and other local musicians made the rendezvous more interesting though most kept their cool. They silently sipped away mango and apple juices as the guy of the moment laid down his intentions.
By the way the Haddons and Campbell are attending the Spread the Love Festival courtesy of Mavuno Church and the climax is this Saturday. Hope you will not miss it.
The Festival came into existence last year September and hosted Kirk Franklin. Hope you still remember the energetic, zealous and zesty guy jumping up and down with a mic at Carnivore. Was breath-taking, don’t you think? Now it’s time again for D.D Haddon to do it.
Just in case you didn’t know the Haddons are accompanied by one Javen Campbell-kind of a strange name. He’s full of talent: an awesome gospel singer, and a renowned actor from USA.
Just by the way...
*Fair Rant: Honestly, if your facebook status is tailored a friend(s) of the opposite sex or if it’s a coded invitation for the man/woman you have been dying for, please tell us. This will keep us off. Otherwise turning your update into a lovey-dovey exchange leaves us blank-faced and foolish.
