The Kenyan singer who has titled her album “Safari” plans to launch the release of her albums in at least three African countries.
Chocolate City singer Victoria Kimani has revealed her debut album which has been titled “Safari” will be released before the end of the year 2016.
Speaking to Elle South Africa, the singer disclosed that her debut album will be out before the end of the year. According to her –“We’re looking at a third quarter (of the year) release.”
“My album is called Safari which is Swahili for a journey or to travel. Musically, ascetically, fashion wise and sound wise, they are all in sync with my life experiences through travel.
I found myself on Safari. The project literally sums up my life…
This is my first album ever, and I’m so hyped about it. I needed people to understand the type of artist I am, so I released several singles in several different regions that ended up being hits.” the singer said.
Victoria also spoke about plans to have an album launch in 3 African countries namely South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria.
“I will have three album launches in these three countries and possibly a few in between, because that is another way of legitimising the soul of the record.
“I have always been an advocate for us Africans to take advantage of our continent the way Americans or Europeans take advantage of their space and use it to thrive and become better brands and business people.” Kimani said.
The album will have between 12-15 songs which should include her 2014 hit song
‘Immediately’ and will feature production from Chocolate City’s in-house producer Reinhard.
Some of her previously released singles include ‘Show’, ‘Two Of Dem’,’Prokoto’ featuring Diamond Platnumz and Ommy Dimpoz, ‘Oya’ featuring M.I, ‘Booty bounce’ and’All the way’ among others.
