JAH LOVE WISHED DEATH
NEW DETAILS EMERGE
SOUL Jah Love felt neglected and wished to die, days before his death, it has emerged.
The chanter revealed this in an unreleased song being held at Sunshine Studios.
Titled Ndichafa Rini, the song is
set to be released today.
It is part of five songs the chanter recorded at the Kuwadzana-based stable.
Speaking exclusively to H-Metro
yesterday, one of the producers, Shelthang — real name Shelton Masiwa — said they will release it before burial.
“It’s a touching song, one of the songs that makes you think deep when recording it.
“We just thought it’s one of those songs and since he had many problems in life, little did we know that he is singing about his death. It started making sense when we heard of his death. He was singing about his death,” said Shelthang.
He said Jah Love — in the song — pleaded to God that it is time for him to die.
“We will release this song tomorrow (today) and that is our own way of honouring the Zimdancehall legend. We have already mastered it and it is ready for the market.
“In terms of the other four songs, we will give ourselves enough time so that we come up with a good project,” he said.
Goes part of the song, “So so so ngwendeza ndaiti tichabatana tigadzirise zvisati zvashata nhasi uno yangova bata wabata . . . vaimbondida vachandida vainditeerera vondodheerera inga ndatopera chokwadi zvandiomera kusekwa vese vakadzvokora ndichikosora zviri nani kuzorora . . . ndichafa riniko vanhu vese zvovoti dai ndafa ndavatambudza dai vaikwanisa vandipisa ndichafa riniiko?”
One of the proprietors at Sunshine Studios, Tinashe Mahechani, popularly known as Tynash, said the song is a masterpiece.
The duo is known for producing several hits including Pamamonya Ipapo — one of the later chanter’s all-time hits.
Jah Love even recognised their magic when he sang, ‘Tynash naShelthang tauya nezvima pattern . . .”
“We have done our best and Soul Jah Love rarely misses. At Sunshine Studios we worked with Sauro on a number of projects and most of them went on to top the charts,” said Tynash.
