After a year-long break, East Africa’s King, Nviiri the Storyteller, is back and poised to make a significant impact on the music scene.
The artist, who took time off to focus on personal growth and career changes, has returned with his latest single, “Run Hii Tao,” signaling the beginning of an exciting new chapter.
During his hiatus, Nviiri made notable changes, including a new management team and working on the production of his highly anticipated album, “Take Over.” In an exclusive interview with Citizen Nviiri shared insights about his break and what fans can look forward to from “the new him.”
“I took that time and break to work on myself, and with the new team, best believe it speaks for itself as we’re about to come out,” Nviiri revealed. “Tumerudi kwa hii town. Guess who’s back!”
The single Run Hii Tao isn’t just a catchy tune; it’s Nviiri’s way of reflecting on his journey in the industry and setting the stage for what’s to come.
The Storyteller also spilled the tea on why he left Sol Generation, describing the move as a “graduation.”
“We did our time, and it’s only right we grow out of it. During this period, we were equipped to be independent because that was the end goal. Before we left Sol Generation, we already had our team; it’s just recently that we launched it to the public,” he explained.
Nviiri’s upcoming album, set to drop at the end of the year, promises to be a game-changer.
The project will feature a star-studded lineup of East African international artists, including King Kivumbi and Juma Jux, and will chronicle Nviiri’s transition from a Sol Generation artist to an independent powerhouse.
But that’s not all! The Storyteller has a slew of surprises lined up for his fans, including more singles, live performances, and exclusive listening parties leading up to the album’s release.
“It’s a very personal album. Take time to internalize it. We are calling it going back to the genesis of the way of writing and composition,” Nviiri shared, adding, “Ni album ya watu, and I believe it will serve that specific purpose.”
