Songstress Lira is feeling sexy these days

I HAD to catch a glimpse of Lira's voluptuous behind in tight jeans as she turned around after a stimulating chat. I don't know if she was aware but I had to be discreet.

It turns out she was not done with me: "I normally don't put on make-up like this. Otherwise I am a simple girl, I did this for you."

Okay, before I am labelled a pervert, here are the facts. The songstress is feeling sexy these days.

So sexy she tells me she is overwhelmingly tempted to wear a miniskirt.

"I am in a romantic mood at the moment. I have woken up to the need to celebrate and love my body."

Now, I hope you can forgive me for having committed this sin after this explanation because I just couldn't help myself and she was so convincing at that.

This is perhaps understandable as she continues to explain this glaring excitement.

"I am a thin girl and growing up it was drummed into my head that thin girls are not sexy, so you start doubting yourself and lose confidence But I have since realised that it was just their opinion."

She sounds a bit rebellious and resentful on that score. So much so that she vows that very soon she will be swapping long dresses for short skirts.

I had met the songstress to reflect on the amazing year she has had. She has had an incredible year. Though she has not released an album since 2008 she has featured in more music festivals than any artist I can think of and she has proved to be a darling of the crowds.

She was voted role model of the year and she takes this to heart because she was up against Kabelo and HHP people she respects.

She has even gone further by being the first African singer to release a DVD on Blu Ray, a new technology.

She reveals to me that her sexiness could have something to do with the fact that she is happily married. We also have to thank the late king of pop Michael Jackson.

"It hit me the other day when I was watching his concert on television. Here was this skinny person who when he went on stage could make his presence felt."

It is pleasing then that she is in the studio putting the final touches to her new album, aptly titled Return to Love. Even more pleasing is the fact that she will embark on a national tour to promote the album.
