REVERED local dancehall artiste Robert Tondoya, popularly known as Tony Dee, has responded to critics who have been on his back and stalking his personal life since venturing into the music industry six years ago by releasing a scorching single, Ndipeiwo Mukana.
Dr Clarence produced the song and also features on vocals.
Tony Dee, in the song, articulates his hurdles, woes and distress in a unique and silky voice in the wake of “enemies of progress”.
The humble and talented musician, who lost his beloved wife last year, has been in hibernation for several months after releasing hits such as Ambulance, Chimoko, Taxi Driver, Nguva yasvika and Never Doubt.
The hits feature his side-kicks and musicians I-Finton and Young Pee. He also went a gear up last year by engaging a live band, Too Open, that backs him during live shows.
Tony Dee sings: “Ndipeiwo mukana inini, ndifare, ndirarame zvandinoda. Ndaneta kutaurwa, kutukwa nekunyombwa, ndaisaziva havandide. Ndipeiwo moto ndivatumire, zvangu zvofaya handichadzoreke.
In an interview, Tony said the single would also feature on this fourth album due to be released in August.
He said he had also finished working on another song, Waenda, featuring Young Pee. The song is a dedication to his wife who passed on in November last year due to post-delivery complications.
“The single is a reflection of a life that I have lived in the midst of people who cannot mind their own business.
“They are people who cannot live without assessing and comparing their achievements to that of a neighbour. The song is a true reflection of my life experiences.
“There are people who are after my downfall and don’t want to see me progressing in life. They smile at me, but they don’t like me,” said the chanter.
Tondoya, a social commentator whose lyrical bias in love and relationships has captured even the neutral hearts, is carving his promising music industry with charm and uniqueness.
