Sauti Sol explain why 'Range Rover' wasn't popular with Kenyans

As soon as Sauti Sol released this track, 'Range Rover', almost everyone (Kenyans) went all out on this guys saying that this is not the type of music they are used to hearing from the Band. Some called this the worst song they have ever heard from Sauti Sol.
I don't blame them. I am a huge fan of Sauti Sol, I mean seriously, I love these guys but 'Range Rover' was a little bit off for me too. It's not a bad track, but I just didn't feel it like I feel all their other tracks.
Being the humble and reasonable artistes they are, Sauti Sol, shortly after bagging the Channel O's Most Gifted East African Video for their


collaboration with AY (I don't wanna be alone) on Saturday, came out to explain why the song didn't capture Kenyans as we expected. Bien Aime Baraza explained the song as being meant for international audience. 'Range Rover' was not targeting the Kenyan market. Kinda makes sense now that they are of international standards and all.
"Being International artists, we record music for various audiences and it just happened that Range Rover was not for the Kenyan audience. We however really appreciate our fans' sincerity and it is in that way that we know what exactly they want," Sauti Sol told sources.
