Abdon Mech, one of the collaborating artistes also shares, “It was refreshing how each one of us in this project are so different as artists yet we came together for art, brushing aside our artistic preferences. I'm quite positive we all walk away having learnt a lot by stepping out of our comfort zones and doing something different.”
The group has especially dedicates this song to late Vitsizolie Nagi, “who was a very close friend to everyone involved in the project and brought a lot of joy to everyone around him.” Vitsizolie ‘left for his eternal home in the month of April and so the release is set for June 12, exactly two months after his passing.’
