Proud Zimbo [Anhu Acho]

Ammara is is perfectly poised to be Zimbabwe's Pop Queen, she has the appeal, image, looks and name to own that crown, the only thing left are the hit songs. With that said she is now facing the defining moment in her career with her upcoming album, if it's anything above average then she will undoubtedly be the Pop Queen, if not she will become another artist with so much potential. In preparation of her upcoming album which is coming beginning of October she has released the 1st single from that album, have listened to the track and will be sharing my views and thoughts on the track. Ammara does not stick to a certain genre so you never know what her next song will sound like except that it has to be catchy ( that's a given for all pop queens ) and on this track she went for an afro pop sound. DJ Tamuka was in charge of the production and he did quite a good job. The instrumental seems to be inspired by Runtown's Mad Over You  especially the first part but DJ Tamu...

Plaxedes is making quite a strong comeback this year, loved the last track she released Now I Know  , did a review of that track when it came out check out here: Now I Know Track Review . She has now returned with another track, this time featuring the iconic ExQ another artist who has made one massive (if not the biggest) transformation/evolution in these past couple of years. Took a listen to this track and as usual will be sharing my views and thoughts about the new jam. The track was produced by the in form DJ Tamuka, resident producer for MTM Records and arguably the finest afro beat producer in the nation at the moment. Plaxedes is known for her classic soulful ballads and on this track she decided to add some modern elements to her sound and this lovely instrumental is the end result. Despite the track being on an uptempo afro tip it also manages to be soulful, respect must be given to DJ Tamuka, he did a very good job once again. This is more like a victory song, it'...

One of the hardest things for any foreign based Zim artist is creating a track that connects with the local masses, regardless UK based Kazz is working very hard to disperse that notion. One of the best ways to get some traction on local circles is collaborating with those who already have some traction in the local circles and that's what Kazz has done on this track. He teamed up with rising dancehall star Nutty O, a young artist who many regard as massively underrated. Have listened to the track a number of times now and will be sharing my views and thoughts on the track. They went for a smooth, feel good and laid back kind of dancehall vibe or "summery vibe" as they described on their website. The instrumental is quite minimal and clean, its sounding lovely. Verseless was in charge of the production and he did quite a good job as always.  In The Mix is about letting off the steam and having good time. Sipping on that drink that you love whilst vibing/enjoyin...

Coming across new and upcoming artists is a joy of mine, I believe such artists are at their creative best before fame and celebrity status cloud their creativity. Over the past couple of months I cam across an artists named Mbeu who is backed by his band the Mhodzi Tribe and instantly feel in love with his sound. He sings the now overshadowed but largely loved reggae genre. I'm a huge fan of Reggae music so you can imagine my joy when I came across and artist who is willing to push the genre forward.  Since I first heard the jam Mavanga , I was closely following the lad and recently he released a 29 track compilation which he is sending to all his fans and anyone who wants to hear what he is all about. Downloaded my copy of the collection and immediately got down to listening and after just one full listen I was burning to write up on Mbeu and The Mhodzi Tribe. The tracks are good, i'm loving the vibe and sound on this collection. The first thing you notice is how...

How I love coming across some new beautiful local music especially from those artists no-one is making noise about. There are a lot of immensely talented but not yet popular artists all over the nation, it just takes one to set aside some time and patience to explore and listen.  Came to know about Jazz Prosper from his collaboration with Reverb 7 on the track Kabhebhi Bho . The track is quite lovely and I enjoy listening to it, Jazz's performance on the track is nice but not noteworthy. Therefore after that track, I knew of his existence but was not necessarily keeping an eye on his every move and that has all changed with this new jam. Was reluctant to listen to the track but it just popped on my timeline and decided to take a listen. From the onset I realized the track was not what I feared ( afro pop, hip hop..etc ), but more to the side I did not expect. Jazz Prosper teamed up with the legendary Monomukundu and crooner Dereck Mpofu for the production of this track and ...
