After a year-long hiatus, East Africa’s musical sensation, Nviiri the Storyteller, has made a triumphant return to the music scene, much to the delight of his fans. The artist, who has been a significant figure in the region’s entertainment landscape, has unveiled his latest single, “Run Hii Tao,” marking the beginning of an exhilarating new chapter in his career.
Nviiri’s break from the limelight was not just a pause but a deliberate step towards personal and professional growth. During this period, he focused on self-improvement and underwent substantial career changes, including a new management team and the production of his highly anticipated album, “Take Over.” In an exclusive interview with Citizen Digital, Nviiri shared insights into his time away and what fans can expect from his reinvigorated career.
“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 said. His comeback single, “Run Hii Tao,” is more than just a new track; it serves as a reflection of his journey in the industry and a precursor to his forthcoming album. The song resonates with Nviiri’s experiences and sets a fresh tone for his return.
One of the most significant changes Nviiri has undergone is his departure from Sol Generation, the label that helped launch his career. He described his exit as a “graduation,” highlighting the evolution of his artistry and the transition to greater independence. “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, “Take Over,” is set to be a game-changer. Scheduled for release at the end of the year, the album promises to be a landmark project in his career. Featuring a star-studded lineup of East African artists, including King Kivumbi and Juma Jux, it will document Nviiri’s evolution from a Sol Generation artist to an independent powerhouse. This album is not just a collection of songs but a comprehensive showcase of Nviiri’s growth and new artistic direction.
In addition to the album, Nviiri has a host of surprises lined up for his fans. These include more singles, live performances, and exclusive listening parties leading up to the album’s release. The artist has promised that the album will be deeply personal, a return to the essence of his songwriting and composition. “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. “Ni album ya watu, and I believe it will serve that specific purpose.”
The anticipation surrounding Nviiri’s return is palpable. His hiatus has only heightened the excitement for his new music and the fresh perspectives he brings. With “Run Hii Tao” as a taste of what’s to come and “Take Over” on the horizon, Nviiri the Storyteller is poised to make a significant impact on the East African music scene once again.
As fans eagerly await the release of the album and the accompanying activities, it is clear that Nviiri’s return is not just a revival but a reinvention. His journey through personal growth and professional transformation has set the stage for a remarkable comeback, reaffirming his status as a leading figure in East Africa’s music industry.
