Acclaimed Zimbabwean singer/songwriter Kim Makumbe has finally released the long-awaited single “Wait.” Teased during her memorable performance at the Unplugged Music Festival in August, the track arrives as her second release of the year. It follows “Ndichakuda,” the percussive house collaboration with Enhle, Spunj and Nizhe DeSoul that won more than a few hearts.
Blending together Afrobeats and Afro soul while maintaining the singer’s R&B persona, “Wait” is the perfect platform for the raw and emotive vocals from both Kim and songstress Melyssa. The single showcases the ability of both artists in crafting melodies that linger in the listener’s mind.
“Wait” speaks about the yearning side of love: long distance relationships, waiting for someone to make up their mind about you or waiting for love itself to appear. In whatever angle, it is an acknowledgment of the bittersweet experience in the love waiting room.
Produced by AyoJase.wav, with an assistive hand from TAPIWA, the track features lush instrumentation and dynamic arrangement that perfectly frames Kim Makumbe’s distinct vocal range. It is a testament to her artistry and her commitment to creating music that resonates on a deeply emotional level.
The single adds to the bold chapter the songstress is defining for herself, one that will surely see her becoming a staple on the radio charts and festival stages.
“Wait” is now available on all major streaming platforms.
