In a recent interview on Apple Music Africa Now Radio, Afrobeats superstar Kizz Daniel <\/strong>spoke on his recently released EP ‘Unkle K (Lemon Chase)’.<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

According to Kizz Daniel, the project was a result of a disaster from the loss of his workstation, which caused him to lose over 600 songs, including those recorded for what was meant to be the ‘Unkle K’<\/strong><\/i> LP. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

“The EP came about as a result of a very unfortunate incident that happened with the actual body of work, which was to be the \u2018Uncle K\u2019 album. My workstation crashed and we lost a lot of songs,”<\/i> he shared. <\/mark><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

He further shared that he was meant to go on tour with the album, so he decided to record new songs that sounded like some of the lost records. <\/mark><\/p>\n

“<\/i>I was supposed to go on tour with the album (which we had already announced), so I went back to the studio and came up with some songs that sounded alike sonically. We came up with a name that fitted the situation\u2014\u2018Lemon Chase!\u2019 I was locked in the studio for months, but when life throws you lemons, you make lemonade out of it\u2014and that\u2019s exactly what we did with this EP.”\u00a0<\/i><\/mark><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

\u201cAl-Jannah\u201d means \u201cparadise\u201d. I wanted to write a tribute song. We\u2019ve lost of people in the past\u2014we lost our son in 2021; I lost my dad in 2015; my wife lost her mum in 2024; I lost my step-mum; we lost a whole lot of people. I wanted to make a song for everyone, not just one person. It\u2019s about our loved ones we have lost in this journey of life.”<\/i><\/mark><\/p>\n<\/section>\n
