<\/a><\/p>\nI remember sometime back when he was on the Trend with Larry Madowo Diamond said that once you know what your fans want, it is easy to write the proper music.<\/p>\n
For the longest time he has had collaborations all over African and all internationally with artists like Rick Ross, Neyo among others.<\/p>\n
For a guy like this I believe his album will be another of a kind. He wil have many wishing to collaborate with him in future.<\/p>\n
I mean the, Diamond can make Swahili sound sassy in an all English song, what of Spanish? Well its a wait and see situation.<\/p>\n
However, I can bet that the album will have few Nigerian artists and big American stars too.<\/p>\n
What about Kenyan artists?<\/p>\n
I mean we have Willy Paul whose voice would be good blend with Diamond’s, if not ‘Mtoto wa Diana’ -Bahati too could be a good idea.\u00a0 No? Well you be the judge.<\/p>\n
Bottom line,this album will top charts if not be among the biggest in terms of streams on digital platforms.<\/p>\n
In the meantime we keep waiting on good music that will set the pace for most of African artists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
