Proud Zimbo [Anhu Acho]

So as the whole of Zimbabwe knows by now that King David was once the Jiti trailblazer when he was still being referred to as Baba Harare. He made the switch from secular music to gospel in a move that took many by surprise, given the success he was having in the Jiti genre, he basically revived the genre and for reasons known to him he decided it was no longer the path for him. Many are definitely keeping an eye on him, some rooting for him to succeed and some waiting for him to return to Jiti, time will tell what happens in the future. Currently he is like the poster boy of repentance in Zimbabwe. Currently King David is on a mission to transfer the success he got in Jiti to his new sound in a genre which has its only different rules, politics and biases, its a tall order for the guy. Good thing is he seems to be ready for the fight, only question remaining was which style of gospel was he going to pursue, is it going to be the style we see from the likes of Minister Mahendere, Minis...

Bryan K is one of those artists who knows how add that soulful touch to his music. He is also blessed with some superb vocal ability and couple that with some solid guitar playing skills you can easily see that he is quite a package. Given the skillset he possesses one may wonder why he is not as big as you may expect!!??, one big reason I believe stifles his growth is he has never managed to stick to one sound for long, he switches genres quite a lot. I got to know about him when he was largely doing Afro Jazz when he released the super lovely album Nyaya Dzerudo which has tracks such as Usasiyane Neni, Nyaya Dzerudo, Marunjeya . After that he started to move towards a more Afro beats inspired sound starting from the success of Heavy Machine and he stayed on that tip for a some years. He then started to slow it down again and revert to a more acoustic based soulful sound just before the announced his retirement from secular music. Currently he is only dong gospel music, quite a bold m...

Takura is one of the finest artists we have in the nation, I feel he's among that rare breed of artists that just knows how to make good music. Over the years have been in awe of this aspect of him, before you even get what he is singing about the track is just sonically on point, he can sing in a made up language and people will still vibe with it. Over the past few years Takura has opened up about his depression, drug addiction and how it has been affecting his art and passion to create. Over the past couple of years he announced retirement from the music industry about twice and then reversing those decision, a move many felt was just drama so he gets attention. Yes it was him seeking attention but not necessarily for views but for mental and emotional support, for help with the demons he is fighting with. I truly hope he gets the support he needs, because the whole arts industry will benefit from Takura's creativity. He has now released this new project Pariah, which means ...

Water is life, this is a fact every one of us gets to accept. Its made up of simple chemical structure H2O but is so vital to the existence of all the complex life here on earth. Water is the lifeblood of life here on earth, it waters and nourishes the plants, it quench's the thirst of all animals and humans, without it there is no life. On top of all that we can literally witness it also seems water holds great spiritual significance, its seen as a good sign in basically every religion!!!. So its no surprise that artists sometimes use this literal and spiritual significance of water to deliver their messages. Have searched online for local artists who have done so and today will be sharing with you some of the best tracks about water and try to decipher their messages.  After some searching these are the best tracks about water that I have came across: Bagga - Mvura The  most obvious one to start at the moment is Mvura by Bagga, its among the most imoressive songs of 2024. On...

ExQ is one of the finest artists we have in the country, he has been in the game for over 20 years now. He has managed to adapt and evolve his sound to meet the modern sound over those 20 plus years, he has matured in his art, you can still hear the elements that made him a favourite of many during the days of Ndichakutevera , Musalala , Mazirudo  in his music but with a more mature aura around his style. Mr Putiti as he also affectionately known has been on a roll for quite a number of consecutive releases now. Both his previous releases (Enoch, & Verified Milestone) have been quite successful. He has found home in the cool afro beat sound, its perfectly fits his vocals and style. He sometimes adds some soulfulness to his productions like on the track Lights Out featuring Gemma Griffiths or add some jazz elements like on Mwana Iyeyu featuring Holy Ten. So going into this new offering was wondering how is he going to spice up his sound. The ChiHatrick EP is out and today will...

Master H made a splash beginning of last year with the hit Track Dhanzi and he has not looked back since then. Once he got the attention of many Zimbos, he continued to release big tracks but it was his investment in his live sets that impressed me the most last year. Mainly when many artists get a breakout hit, they put all attention onto creating the next hit and once they have a couple amount of hits and fans now want to experience them live, you will be left disappointed. Master H did not make that mistake and he has been delivering solid performances whenever he was called to showcase and that made his stock grow big. His last project was the Tateguru EP which he released in the last quarter of 2024, the EP performed decently, Pressure featuring Kae Chaps was the biggest track from the project. Last year Master H made sure we do not get starved of music as he released quite frequently.  Less than 6 months one we get a new EP from the guy and whether this new project will surpa...
