Mawu

"Mawu", the third track on With Love, Makadi, is a soul-stirring reflection on the power of words in love and relationships. “Mawu” — meaning “words” in Chichewa — dives into how what we say can build trust, cause pain, or change everything. Teddy Makadi uses this track to explore the delicate balance between speaking from the heart and the weight words can carry when emotions run high. Set against a smooth blend of Afro-soul and acoustic Malawian influences, the production is gentle yet emotional, allowing Teddy’s lyrics to take center stage. His delivery is tender and reflective, guiding the listener through a story of misunderstanding, healing, and emotional truth. "Mawu" serves as a reminder that in love, it’s not just how we feel that matters — it’s how we express it. This track speaks to the moments we wish we could take words back, or the times we held them in too long. It’s intimate, relatable, and one of the most thoughtful offerings on the album.
