Ugandan singer Chris Evans Kaweesi has revealed the unusual quality he wants in a potential girlfriend, joking that his ideal woman should struggle to tell the difference between two popular songs by Jose Chameleone and Bobi Wine.
The singer shared his relationship preference during an interview featured on Spark TV’s 21 Questions, where he was asked about the kind of woman he would love to fall in love with.
Rather than describing conventional qualities such as beauty, wealth or personality, Chris Evans focused on musical knowledge — or, more precisely, the lack of it.
He said he would prefer a woman who cannot confidently identify the artists behind Jose Chameleone’s hit song Valu Valu and Bobi Wine’s Mazzi Mawanvu.
According to the singer, a woman who immediately recognises Valu Valu as a Chameleone song would lose her chance with him.
“The kind of girl I want to fall in love with shouldn’t be able to differentiate between ‘Valu Valu’ and ‘Mazzi Mawanvu’. The moment she tells me that ‘Valu Valu’ was sung by Jose, I ditch you immediately,” he said.
Chris Evans explained that he wants a partner who becomes confused whenever he sings either track, rather than quickly identifying the musician responsible.
“I want to be in a situation where, when I sing one of the songs, she is not certain who sang it. That kind of woman gives peace,” he added.
His comments offered a humorous take on relationship compatibility, turning familiarity with two well-known Ugandan music hits into an unexpected dating requirement.
The singer also shared his observations about women from the city, suggesting that they tend to be more street-smart and difficult to impress.
He jokingly added that some women in this category do not frequently ask men for money, except when they need financial help to purchase a traditional gomesi.
While Chris Evans did not provide a detailed explanation for his preference, his remarks suggest that he enjoys a relationship dynamic where a partner does not take every musical conversation too seriously.
For anyone hoping to win his heart, however, there is now an unusual question to consider: would correctly identifying who sang Valu Valu actually work against them?
