Gazza drops ‘Get It On Tonight’

Gazza is set to cement his status as arguablyNamibia’s most celebrated artist with the release of his new single, ‘Get It On Tonight’.

The music sensation, who has broken many Namibian music records throughout his illustrious career, will release his 11th album with the single, on which he features sultry saxophone queen Suzy Eises.

This is the first single from the upcoming album.

The musical chemistry between Gazza and his long-time producer and friend Samy-lee Jones also shines through on the track. Gazza has previously worked with Samy-lee Jones on hits like ‘My Boeta’ and ‘Tufike apa’. Gazza, who is the brains behind Gazza Music Productions (GMP), has hinted that the album has a reconstructing theme, with the multiple award-winning artist playing around with new sounds.

The combination of Gazza and Suzy Eises will likely come as a surprise to many, with the two set to release an explosive sound that will be as heart-warming and sensual as it is stunning. ‘Get It On Tonight’ is a feel good song with a jazzy urban feel. Gazza’s vocals coupled with Suzy’s passion on the sax creates an alluring musical masterpiece that Gazza is very excited to share.

“The new music has something for everyone. I’ve been around for a while now, and I’m stronger, wiser and much more fearless to try new sounds and to offer my fans, who have been with me through thick and thin, something that’s fresh, unique and exciting,” Gazza said.

The musician was tight-lipped about details around the new album, but hinted that it will drop sooner than expected. He however revealed that the album, like all other Gazza albums, will deliver soundtracks for all December parties.

The album includes 18 tracks with a number of exciting collaborations, including artists from beyond Namibian borders. One such collaboration is that with dancehall diva N’yanda, one half of Brick and Lace.

Another noteworthy collaboration is with South African hip-hop sensation Emtee.

An ecstatic Gazza highlighted that the platform he intends to create is one that recognises and appreciates true talent and packages it for an international platform, just like the deal he has established for the GMP label through Universal Records.

Showing no signs of slowing down, he said has big plans for Namibian music. “It’s not just about me any more, it’s about finding opportunities for Namibian musicians. There is talent here, talent beyond measure, our local artists just need the right platform and opportunities and they will shine, they will step up. My aim now is to ensure that there are enough opportunities for as many Namibian artists as possible to take our music global,” he said.

Around this time last year, Gazza created a YouTube frenzy when his music video for ‘Kuna’mkweni’ reached over 70 000 views in less than two weeks. Asked whether his fans can expect a music video for ‘Get It On Tonight’, Gazza hinted that a treat might just be in store.

“Exciting things are coming. The new album, new big projects for GMP. All I can say is we are going international, these are exciting times and I remain thankful for all the support over the years. The future looks bright for GMP and Namibian music,” he said.

‘Get It On Tonight’ is currently getting airplay on all local radio stations and is available on GMP’s official YouTube page.
