Tanzanian singer-songwriter Marioo closes his project on a reflective note with “Pombe II (We Live Once),” featuring BabyDaiz, a track taken from his MMMCXII EP.
Built on mellow Afro-influenced production, the song carries a laid-back yet emotional tone, using its narrative to explore themes of life choices, temporary escapes, and the importance of living in the moment. The title “We Live Once” adds a deeper layer to the record, pointing toward reflection, enjoyment, and the realities that come with personal decisions.
Marioo delivers a smooth and expressive performance, balancing melody with storytelling as he captures the mood of introspection. BabyDaiz complements the track with a fitting feature that enhances its emotional depth, adding contrast and texture to the overall sound.
As part of the 9-track MMMCXII EP, “Pombe II (We Live Once)” stands out as one of the more reflective entries, showing Marioo’s ability to shift between celebratory vibes and more thoughtful storytelling while maintaining a cohesive sound across the project.
