Director Dzi has released a new song called “My Wife”. The Afro-beat artist has created a soft yet energetic song. The artist, originally from Zimbabwe, now residing in London has great music to offer. He was influenced by various talented artists like Burna Boy, Tems, Probeatz, and Hilzy. You can see their influence clearly when you listen to this song.
This song has a dynamic mix of guitar chords, saxophone melodies, and energetic afro-beats. The song has a beautiful, soft rhythm and hopeful vibes.
The real beauty of the song is not only in the smooth and captivating rhythm, but the story behind the song. Director Dzi tends to write songs related to his personal life. He has previously written a song for his niece called “Melanin”.The song had a delicate message to encourage her to be proud of her skin colour and her African heritage.
Director Dzi is a true storyteller, narrating beautiful moments from his life and turning them into art. Additionally, this beautiful song is about the love story between his sister and her now husband, which was created for their anniversary.
It was written from the perspective of a man who keeps thinking of his past lover all the time. Whether he is working or not, during the weekend or during different seasons. He is haunted by the desire to reunite with her.
The real-life couple was separated after being accepted into different colleges. After high school, one went to Atlanta and one went to Oxford. They might have been miles apart, yet fate had a different opinion; they were both reunited once again and now share a beautiful life. Director Dzi was able to capture the beauty of this story in the song, with the fusion between the different instruments and the beats of the song.
The song’s video is the real footage of their wedding. Dzi has chosen to include his listeners in this precious moment, a true, genuine act that makes you feel right at home while listening to his song.
