What has Tinashe said about working on this record
I love the vibe of the record. I love the African flavor that it has and the world feeling. My dad is from Zimbabwe, so I really wanted to venture more in that direction.
Davido’s music is really great, so I was excited to be on “How Long.”
The majority of the song was created already. there’s a l...
What has Davido said about working with Tinashe?
She’s African, just like I am. I just felt together we could play around with the language. I’ve always been a fan of hers.
I played her the record, she loved it. I went out to L.A. did the record. Everything was just natural. Tinashe was the best person for this record.
What genre is this song?
I call it Afro-Fusion. Really it’s a fusion of different African sounds— but not only African sounds, it’s fused with a bunch of different sounds.
It’s mixed with Hip-Hop, Afro-Punk; a lot of everything.
