The hype from Azawi’s management and label towards the the album release did its job but what about her artistry? That is everything her fans ever yearned for.
Listening to the album, it’s hard to pick out one particular track to call a “favorite” because when you press next, your mind will wander.
The collaborations with Eddy Kenzo, Fik Fameica, A Pass, and Benon Mugumbya don’t help the situation at all. They add salt to the wound, literally.
‘African Music’ was created in a space of one year and eight months and Azawi says this, indeed, is her year.
Dropping my album this year especially ‘My Year’, the first track off the album that we released, is like an affirmation for me about this year and I am beyond grateful to everyone that has been a part of this.
I have been able to record a lot of great content within a year and eight months and I hope you all love it.
Azawi
Lizer Classic, Bomba Music, Kuseim, Julius Kyazze, Benon Mugumbya, Steve Keys, among other creatives had a hand in the production and songwriting of the album which continues to show how special it is.
It cuts across different genres like the cultural Ugandan sounds, Reggae, Afrobeats, Amapiano and so much more.
“Let’s take the African Music Album to the world by streaming it now,” Azawi said after dropping the bomb. Ladies and gentlemen, shall we?
