Mr Makoya is gearing up for the release of his fourth solo album titled Son of The Soil later this year. To give fans a taste of what’s in the pipeline, the musician dropped a new single off the album today.
In an interview with tjil, Mr Makoya mentioned that the aim of the song is to inspire, motivate and get people in Zambezi Region to start working together. “This is amidst the infighting, tribal differences and killings we have experienced recently as a region,” he said.
Sonically, he describes the song as Afropop with a traditional feel.
On how the track was composed, Mr Makoya said: “I call DJ Siya and DJ Vuyo the kings of Katima Mulilo. Me being the Kanye West of the region, we wanted to make a song that is impactful and not just another party song”.
On when the album will drop, Mr Makoya said if it was up to him, he would release it next week as production is done. “Hopefully we get back to hosting shows as marketing the album is important to me.”
