Masvingo-based musician Innocent Tshuma has released seven music videos from his album New Chapter, marking a significant milestone in his musical journey.
The 14-track album, launched on October 3 last year, blends a variety of genres including love, gospel, celebration, and cultural music, showcasing Tshuma’s versatility as an artist.
The project features a diverse lineup of collaborators such as Chipo Muchegwa, Everhtee, Jamaica-based Nafty Cole, Vee Chang Chii, Trymore Bande, and Tryford Makumbe of the Makumbe Brothers.
Tshuma said the title New Chapter reflects personal growth and transformation.
“This is one of my best albums because I managed to reach big studios around the world and collaborate with top national artists like Chipo Muchegwa and Trymore Bande. It truly marks a new chapter in my life — I am moving to another level,” he said.
The album has received strong public support, with three songs making it onto radio charts. Gomborero is currently featured on the YA FM Top Chart, Makufeeler Sei is on the Hevoi FM Top Chart, and Zvese Ndezvako, featuring Chipo Muchegwa, is among the most played songs on Radio Zimbabwe.
