If you thought Ali Kiba’s silence for over two years would throw him out of the game, it’s about time you dare to think differently. That is also applies if your first reaction after was something like, “Ooh Yeah He Is Back”. Like a dream attacked by common sense, I want to remind you something; he hadn’t gone anywhere!!
His silence, therefore, can now be interpreted as someone who didn’t want to be just sure but rather solidly sure. As the enthusiasm was building among his fans [the most important commodity any artist could have] he was counting hours in studio with Man Water perfecting what you are about to hear. That went with anxious search for the meaning behind words to make sensible lyrics.
During recording and rehearsal breaks, he was also developing his game plan. He wanted not to just survive as an artist but rather thrive! He didn’t want to succumb to the industry’s pressure of releasing songs back to back hoping somewhere in the middle one track goes “viral” in clubs etc
Like any other business out there, music industry has had to adapt to the rapidly changing world. As an artist, when fans are waiting [and even add a bit of pressure on you] it is easy to succumb and push out what might end up being your “career suicide”. You have to learn to make music that offers both immediate enjoyment and long-term pleasure. That is how legends are made.
As they say, stay in touch and you’ll stay in business. Kiba did that. He kept his fans alive and active through social networks accounts he maintains. In the world of fastest information sharing tools such as social networks, Kiba was also aware that he has tough head-to-head competition. African music is changing.
He heard it all. The purported “beef” with other artists. The disses. He, however, decided to remain professional and let his music reign and hope that history will judge him according to his artistic works and not how many times the tabloids used his name and story to dull the cutting edge of other folks’ loneliness. Instead of be like someone like a loaded dueling pistol with a hair-trigger temper, he remained cool as a judge.
On the other hand, he knew his talent means one important thing; the door of opportunity is unbelievably wide. But since, it takes two to tango, he is hereby releasing not one but two brand new tracks. They are titled Mwana & Kimasomaso. I am hereby presenting them.
