The oh so fine Tiyas, real name Tiyamike Maziya, a singer, songwriter and undisputed Swazi R&B king,will be releasing his much awaited next single "My Kryptonite" on October 17, 2013. This hunky star found some time in his hectic schedule to fill us in about the vision behind the single, this is what he had to say:
Background
The Hero Superman represents the upmost
pinnacle of super strength. Known as the man of steel, he is indestructible,
Faster than a speeding bullet, he flies, he shoots red hot lasers out of is
eyes, sees through anything, can blow winds out of his mouth and nostril
stronger than tornadoes, he can hear a pin drop from miles away, and of course,
he has super strength.
As the comic would have it, Superman derives his powers
from earth’s yellow sun. His only weakness, fragments of the core of his former
planet Krypton, called Kryptonite. When exposed to this element, Superman is
robbed of his powers, becoming an ordinary man, WEAK! Within the mythos,
Kryptonite is the ultimate natural weakness of Superman. In popular culture,
this element is the Achilles Heel, namely, the one weakness of an otherwise
invulnerable hero.
The song “My Kryptonite” merely borrows
this concept to express the simple realization that, I'VE TRIED TO MAINTAIN MY
SUPER POWERS AS A MAN, AND NOT FALL IN LOVE, I'VE TRIED TO REMAIN LEVEL HEADED
AND NOT LOOSE COMPOSURE, BUT, BABY YOU, YOU ARE THE ELEMENT THAT HAS WEAKENED
ME ENOUGH TO BRING ME TO MY KNEES AND SAY I LOVE YOU.”
This is a song that brings to fore, the
battle in every man properly so called, to fight for their independence and
singlehood. The super hero in the song, after being exposed to his Kryptonite,
declares, he is no super man at all, BUT EVEN IF HE WAS, SHE’D BE HIS
KRYPTONITE…
Do enjoy this song, it comes from a special
place in my heart.
