Zim: Listen to Gemma Griffiths’ A Girl From Harare EP

The project comprises songs such as ‘Kwake’, ‘Raspberry’ and ‘Weather’. It boasts features with a number of musicians including Tanzanian hip hop artist FreshLikeUhhh and Namibian rapper Lioness who are featured on ‘City Life’ and ‘Tipo Tinto’, respectively.

A Girl From Harare is Griffiths’ second release from her two-part musical journey, which saw the singer write and record music while travelling 24 000 kilometres across 10 African countries in 500 days. Through delicate rhythms coupled with introspective lyrics, the ‘Titungamire’ hitmaker shares with the listener her journey across the bustling streets and fluorescent night lights of Dar es Salaam, while paying homage to a place in Kenya where she felt the most at home.

“I’m extremely proud of this EP,” Griffiths said. “I loved exploring the continent and discovering myself along the way. I’ve evolved as an artist and grown immensely as a person through this journey on the road.”

The EP sparkles with production by some of Zimbabwe’s most gifted beatmakers including Murphy Cubic, who brings the magic on ‘Weather’ and ‘Down’, while DJ Tamuka makes his mark on ‘Raspberry’, ‘Don't Worry’ and ‘Kwale’. The majority of the project reunites Griffiths with long-time cohort, Charie Kay who produced her debut EP Pamwe.
