His latest album,\u00a0<em>Rirandzu<\/em>, takes his artistry to new heights, showcasing a deeply personal and culturally rich project that celebrates love, identity, and his XiTsonga heritage. Speaking to\u00a0<em>Drum<\/em>\u00a0at Soltopia in Mea Culpa this past weekend, Musa opened up about the inspiration behind his album and his hopes for the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Rirandzu<\/em>\u00a0means love,\u201d Musa explains, his passion evident as he discusses the album. Describing the project as deeply personal, he reflects on how it intertwines his cultural roots with his experiences as a self-proclaimed \u201clover boy\u201d navigating the complexities of modern relationships. \u201cThe inspiration was tapping into my culture and telling my story\u2026 Even though falling in love is tricky right now,\u201d he says with a laugh.<\/p>\n<p>Since its release,\u00a0<em>Rirandzu<\/em>\u00a0has received an overwhelmingly positive response. Fans have particularly connected with the track\u00a0<em>Vafana va Mali<\/em>, which Musa believes truly embodies the album\u2019s infectious energy. \u201cI think people are liking it, especially\u00a0<em>Vafana va Mali<\/em>,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>A standout feature of the album is Musa\u2019s decision to primarily sing in XiTsonga, an intentional move to innovate and bring more representation to the genre. \u201cIt\u2019s something different. We don\u2019t have an album as good as this,\u201d he confidently states. Musa also teases his fans with the promise of more XiTsonga music, hinting that the best is yet to come.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead to 2024, Musa shares that every day feels like a highlight for him. \u201cI get inspired every day. I stay motivated every day,\u201d he says, demonstrating his unwavering drive. As for his aspirations in 2025, he hopes for peace\u2014and maybe even finding love.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multi-talented artist Musa Keys, known for blending Amapiano beats with soulful melodies, has solidified his place as one of the most exciting voices in the music industry.
