Mzuzu based afro-pop artist Merchah, real name Uchizi Salala Msowoya is set to release his first single of 2024 titled ‘Wane’ on Monday.
In an interview with Malawi News Agency (Mana) Merchah, who is signed with Magic Fingers Entertainment LLC co-owned by US-based Malawian Tionge Mhango and Nigerian producer Oluwaseyi Akelere, said the song is about professing love to a man or woman where one can do anything just to be with their soul mate.
“The song speaks of scenarios where one can even drop out of college just to be with the one they love and it also tells of how a businessman can allow his endeavour to start making losses in the pursuit of his potential spouse just to win them. In short the concept of the song is to show that love is so strong,” explained Merchah.
“The song was produced by Chawabeats and Drzzbeats from Nigeria. It has also been mixed in Nigeria by Twin Beats Paul,” he added.
The ‘Naji’ hitmaker who likes to sing in Tumbuka language also released two other singles last year titled Vyapachalo and Handede which enjoyed massive airplay.
“In 2024, I’m set to drop my debut project which is an album which I, together with my team have been working on since 2022 and we are happy that we can finally release it,” said Merchah.
Official producer for Magic Fingers Malawi, Chawanangwa Ngoma said fans should get prepared for more songs from their artist as compared to last year.
“We have lined up a couple features with Nigerian, South African and Ghanaian main stream artists so fans should be prepared to listen to smashing hits from Merchah,”Ngoma said.
In his remarks, Gift Shaba one of Merchah’s fans from Mzuzu said he is looking forward to listening to more music from him.
“He is a very talented musician but unfortunately, we only have a handful of songs from him so am really looking forward to the album which he is releasing this year,” he said.
