The album, which went live on July 4, 2025, features a fusion of soulful melodies, traditional Luo rhythms, and modern Afrobeat elements with the songs Avec Moi, Nakufa, Kiss, Gatchu, Baila, Conmigo, Kungfu, Joluo Malo, Taya, Time Travel, Hakuna Matata, International Foreigner, No Other, Confuse Me, Choplife, and Bosslady.
“And we are live. Let’s heal together, fam,” the singer announced.
This announcement comes a day after he revealed the delay of the album’s release, urging fans to remain patient as he works through the final touches with his team.
Postponement
In an official statement released on Thursday, July 3, 2025, the Nakufa hitmaker announced that the album, which was expected to drop on the same day, had been postponed due to unforeseen challenges beyond his control.
“To my beloved fans, I want to start by thanking every one of you for your love, patience, and unwavering support. You’ve been counting down the days with me, and it breaks my heart to inform you that the Healing Album will not be dropping today as initially planned,” he announced.
He assured his supporters that the delay is only temporary and not a cancellation.
“Due to some unforeseen glitches that are beyond our control, we have had to push back the release. As much as we were all looking forward to this moment, it is important to me that I give you the best version of this project, and sometimes that means taking a little more time to get everything right,” he added.
“My team is working around the clock to ensure the album is released in good time. I understand the disappointment this may cause, and I deeply apologise for the delay. Please know that this is not a cancellation, just a pause.”
