ONE of the urban grooves pioneers, Plaxedes Wenyika has continued her trademark love songs with a new song titled Feel your love.
If you thought Plaxedes was gone and done for, then think again. Here and there, she has been releasing ballads.
Visuals for Feel your love were released on Wednesday and follow-up on her Phoenix Rising album that was launched three weeks back. Some of the tracks in the album which are already on her YouTube channel and virtual music stores include the title track, Someone To Love and Old School Loving.
Feel your love, a product of Gold Fingers and Leo V features award-winning broadcaster and Zimbabwe Tourism Authority head of public relations Chief Koti on the visuals.
“Working with Chief Koti was fun. He’s a very professional individual,” commented Plaki.
It is the norm that most of the time, Plaki’s songs are a profession of love since her big break way back in the day when she sang hit songs like Tisaparadzane and Wadarirei.
In an interview, Wenyika said her latest album is for the grown and sexy.
“The sound is Afro-soul with some RnB and my trademark ballads. The album will take people back to their souls and reintroduce them to a new generation. Love and inspirational songs are the main themes and the title song, Rise of the Phoenix, is about coming back to claim my space in the music industry,” she said.
Feel your love, Plaxedes said: “is an expression of mature intimacy and love between a man and woman. As Zimbabweans, we use totems as praise in our expressions and that was the basis of composing Feel your love.”
The musician has not lost her touch and this is evidenced by how fans reacted to her sound and rich lyrics laced with matters of the heartstrings.
Simbimelz posted saying: “Queen! This is for the grown and sexy for sure. Love everything about this song. Kudos to the producer.”
Noreen Moyo showered Plaki with a royal title endorsing her work, “My queen never disappoints. Love you babes. Keep shining.”
Such a level of consistency has made Plaxedes a household name since the turn of the millennium.
