While he worked with a number of producers, Jah Signal also featured Crystal on Mahobho and Mambo Dhuterere on Ndinomudana.
Asked why Jah Signal’s music is drifting from true Zim dancehall as is the trend with other musicians, Hillary his manger confirmed saying they were overlapping boundaries to carter for all the music tastes and generations.
“Signal sings music that cuts across all generations and it is also in line with eh brand’s plan not to be limited to Zim dancehall only,” he said.
True to his word, Zvakarongeka (well organized) has a medley of sounds as varied as the producers themselves.
Nowadays musicians are breaking out from their comfort zones to try and tap into other markets especially with the influx of South Africa’s amapiano and also the Nigerian Afrobeat.
All these sounds are impacting on Zimbabwean musicians in more ways than one.
And for Jah Signal of the Tirarira Swah fams, he is moving with the times as heard on the latest Zvakarongeka.
Other tracks on the album are Mashereni, Kunyengetera, Makandisarudza, Marry Me, Ndakatumwa, Your Type of Love Song, Pinda Muzambara, Ndirangarirei, Zviri Mumoyo and Zvakarongeka, the title track.
The song Bhasikoro already is doing rounds on social media following a dance craze of the same name by Jah Signal.
The album is mostly composed of party songs which Jah Signal has been known for and judging by the reception at his last show in Hwedza, the album seems to be palatable among his followers.
