Human Rights
Defender Awards` Artist of the year 2016 nominee Best Masinire recently
launched his 10 track singles album at Planet Yolo, Joina City.
The album is
a mixture of many genres ranging from reggae, soft rock, afro pop and afro
jazz; proving how versatile the lanky crooner is.
Masinire’s
latest offering is clogged with social commentary which is from a Christian
stand point and also one love song, Kukusuwa Kwandaita, which features his
producer Tawanda Midzi.
“My music is
a reflection of what God has put inside me. I am a Christian social commentator
and I also sing about the love, grace and mercy of God,” he said
Best is
gifted with a strong voice that allows him to go through an array of notes from
bar to bar with relative ease and his recently launched album is a mixture of
laid back songs and mid tempo tunes.
Talk of the
likes of Hatina Pressure, Vakatadzei, Unconditional love, Ndinotenda, Yanaya,
Chitanda and Ndakanaka in which he passionately expresses himself.
“Unconditional
Love is a song I wrote for my mother. She is my hero. My dad passed on when I
was four but she took good care of me and my sisters and provided for us day
and night.
“Vakatadzei
is the song that got me the Human Rights Defenders Awards nomination. The song
is a prayer to God and a call for action among societies and organizations to
assist less privileged children and people living in prisons,” he said
Masinire`s
singles album only has one up beat song called Manera in which he talks about
how God`s hand upon his life is causing him to make progress.
He featured
a couple of upcoming musicians on the album; the likes of Tendai Global on the
song Hatina Pressure, Tawanda Midzi on Kukusuwa Kwandaita and a gospel choir
called Worship Culture on the song Getting Better.
“I worked with four producers on the project
i.e. Tawanda Midzi, Wisdom Nyaparami, Tatenda Gurupira and Bizzy Dee.
Best
Masinire began his professional music career in 2011 when he and his friends,
Goldrich Makeredza, Tafadzwa Padziri and David Chinyama formed a band called
LIKAFA and performed around the country.
Due to
academic commitments Masinire exited the group in 2013, only to begin a solo
career in 2015 and released his debut album called Nakusasa Futhi.
