Selmor told NewsDay that she would not have made significant strides in the music industry had it not been for the support she gets from Manatsa.
“We have come a long way with Tendai whom I have been married to for the past eight-and-a-half years. The song is a special dedication to him in appreciation of the shoulder he has always given me to lean on through thick and thin,” explained Selmor.
The track which runs for 3 minutes and 44 seconds tells of the importance of small actions that are usually underestimated by most men who feel they are frivolous.
Highlighting the importance of care the song goes “Kundibata ruoko, paunotexta uchibvunza kuti ndaswera sei zvidiki izvozvo ndizvo zvinondipengesa.” (When you hold my hand, when you text to find out how my day has been, such little things make me crazy).
Featuring in the debut single is actor Eddie Sandifolo who first made headlines when he appeared in the film Lobola and a local drama set in the pre-colonial era, Tiriparwendo.
The single track which has recorded over 3 500 views on YouTube is an extract from an album which is due to be released before the end of the year.
Manatsa said he was really touched by the song, which he said demonstrates how things that men consider frivolous are important to women.

“It is surprising how the little things we do for our women matter. At times you may think that a woman’s heart is moved by material possessions until times like these when you discover that it only takes the tit-bits we often overlook. I am greatly humbled,” he said.
