“When we look back on the 2010’s as a period in South African music history, I believe that Muzi is a name that is going to come up in countless conversations, articles and lists. While many of you will know Muzi from his breakout 2018 album, Afrovision, he spent most of the last decade steadily working and growing towards it. Years of experimentation, self-discovery, and the honing of talent lead to Muzi putting out an album that resonated deeply with young South Africans as well as music lovers around the world. Now, not even 18 months later, he’s back with another album that takes everything you love about Afrovision and builds on it thoughtfully and confidently.
Chatting to Muzi via Skype, it’s easy to see he’s in a good place. He’s all smiles and laughter as I open by asking him about his recent listening session for Zeno on a yacht in Cape Town. “That was cool,” he chuckles, “That was like a spur of the moment sort of thing. We invited people who couldn’t make it to Daisies who were in Cape Town. So we sent a few DMs and asked them if they’d be keen to come through. You know, a few people that had been supporting on the timeline.””
