The album will address topics, which affect every human despite of class, race & religion. Some of my songs will talk about love, religion infidelities, hate, jealous & envy, everyday struggles & triumphs of an ordinary Zimbabwe person including topics which are deemed as taboo subjects to address through a musical medium. Songs such as Tariro, which is a prayer for the nation of Zimbabwe, Madzimai, a song which touches on the subject of church leaders who sexually abuse their female congregants, Moyo Wangu, a love letter which features UK based based artist Nash Daddie, are among the song which can be found the 32 tracked double album which is due for release at the end of February 2014.

I am very confident that there will be at least one song from this album, which will tickle each, and everyone’s fancy even those who do not like my musical style. If my songs inspire just one person to elevate themselves of their lowest point into a new chapter where they can see a brighter future or have a better mindset of their surroundings, my album would have served its purpose”.  You can follow Drum Dada via his Facebook, twitter and Noise trade pages FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com/drumdadamusic  TWITTER: @TheDrumDada NOISETRADE: www.noisetrade.com/drumdada  REVERBNATION : http://www.reverbnation.com/drumdadamusic YOUTUBE VIDEOS: Maneta – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3WCQ_7WIEE  Zvipande – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd3A53U_GXY  Number One Fan – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXtCVG2v8Zc
