Afro pop star Merchah ready to drop new year single ‘Wane’

By George Mponda

Mzuzu based afro-pop artist Merchah, real name Uchizi Salala Msowoya is set to release his first single of 2024 titled ‘Wane’ on Monday.

In an interview with Malawi News Agency (Mana) Merchah, who is signed with Magic Fingers Entertainment LLC co-owned by US-based Malawian Tionge Mhango and Nigerian producer Oluwaseyi Akelere, said the song is about professing love to a man or woman where one can do anything just to be with their soul mate.

“The song speaks of scenarios where one can even drop out of college just to be with the one they love and it also tells of how a businessman can allow his endeavour to start making losses in the pursuit of his potential spouse just to win them. In short the concept of the song is to show that love is so strong,” explained Merchah.

“The song was produced by Chawabeats and Drzzbeats from Nigeria. It has also been mixed in Nigeria by Twin Beats Paul,” he added.

The ‘Naji’ hitmaker who likes to sing in Tumbuka language also released two other singles last year titled Vyapachalo and Handede which enjoyed massive airplay.

“In 2024, I’m set to drop my debut project which is an album which I, together with my team have been working on since 2022 and we are happy that we can finally release it,” said Merchah.

Official producer for Magic Fingers Malawi, Chawanangwa Ngoma said fans should get prepared for more songs from their artist as compared to last year.

“We have lined up a couple features with Nigerian, South African and Ghanaian main stream artists so fans should be prepared to listen to smashing hits from Merchah,”Ngoma said.

In his remarks, Gift Shaba one of Merchah’s fans from Mzuzu said he is looking forward to listening to more music from him.

“He is a very talented musician but unfortunately, we only have a handful of songs from him so am really looking forward to the album which he is releasing this year,” he said.

Leader of Mass Movement for Economic Revolution who is also Commandant Secretary General for Malawi First Independent Coalition for Civic Education Redson Munlo, says party leaders should not expect Malawians to vote for them out of sympathy but good policies.

Munlo said no one told him to join activism saying the activism he is doing is not against people or political parties assuring all that he will not allow people to vote for 2025 leaders basing on lies but good policies.

He said this is 2024, he will not laugh at stupidity saying if political parties are doing good for the people, he will stand up clapping hands but when parties are speaking useless, he will not support that but standing with Malawians to be against that particular party and leader.

Speaking through an audio clip circulating in various social media platforms, Munlo has advised the opposition DPP to build its house to order for it to move forward assuring it that in 2024 he will be analyzing party manifestos.

Munlo said he will be equipping Malawians with knowledge of each and every leader to be voted for so that Malawians make informed choice by taking leaders to answer questions on what preparations they have made for Malawians to trust them.

He has asked opposition parties to find solutions for Malawi saying Malawians are waiting for answers claiming that the DPP failed miserably in both inside and outside Parliament claiming that the infighting is still continuing in 2024 now to the Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal.

The Activist has told the DPP that party problems are too small than those of the country questioning it that if they are failing to end infighting within their party what trust can Malawians have on them that they can rule in 2025.

He said the opposition is there to offer constructive criticism to government through checks and balances and financial prudence claiming that if the opposition has failed, it has failed Malawians saying Malawians are sailing through difficult situations because of weak opposition.

“No one employed me, no one paid me and nobody has the wise to tell me what to do, I speak for the people not a political party,” said Munlo.

He has since assured the DPP that the opposition is not only itself, there’s UDF, UTM, PPM, AFORD, mafunde, and others, saying he will not be forced to speak backing stupidity, 2024 Is for building Malawi for it to move forward.
