But Winky D has always one to come up with complex titles for his albums and songs, and the new one will be no different.
This will be the first time that 2 Kings have hosted a stand-alone Winky D show at the HICC and are looking forward to filling the venue, a feat which if achieved, Winky would have established himself as one of the top artists in the country
The star spoke to this reporter at the Coca-Cola Top 50 winners prize handover at Crown Plaza Hotel, where he gave a hint of what to expect from his new delivery.
“Like always, expect the unexpected, whatever you are you looking forward to, we will do the opposite, it’s going to be crazy,” he said.
He said of Gombwe: This one needs a dictionary, Gombwe is like a higher order, when you have exhausted all your wisdom, Gombwe will show you the way.
According to the website meaningslike.com ,Gombweis a person who has the potential to attain spiritual enlightenment.
The website further gives a detailed meaning of the personality: They can become great spiritual guides, fantastic psychologists or very good physicians thanks to their ability to connect with everyone on a human level.
People with this name who have become the best versions of themselves are tremendously intuitive and possess an endless imagination, which enables them to become good artists.
Their ability to connect the conscious and unconscious makes them able to create imaginary worlds.
Such skills are necessary for good writers. Having high sensitivity that is way above normal makes them tremendously receptive to feelings of others.
In some cases, they may be overly empathetic, but once they learn to stay objective, it will help lead others on the right path. Often clarity only comes after they reach maturity, at which point their capacity for reflection is greater.
Although their authentic journey in life begins later than desired, their influence on those around them will be highly beneficial.

Tahle WeDzinza and Jah Prayzah released their long-awaited song and video Give me More on Monday and its the first Military Touch Movement project of 2018.
Tahle WeDzinza
Up until this video, Tahle’s voice has been echoing in our ears ever since she teased us with those high notes on MTM collaboration Chekeche.
Here are Zimbuzz’s Five Talking Points from the song
1. Tahle is as brilliant as we had hoped
Collaborating with Zimbabwe’s top musician is not an easy job and for a virtually unknown singer, chances are that Tahle would have been completely swallowed by Jah Prayzah’s brilliance.
But that’s not the case. She held her own.
Tahle confidently delivers her vocal duties on the duet with such simplicity of an experienced performer. Her verses are relaxing and as we had hoped from that Chekeche intro, She is as Brilliant as we had Hoped.
2. Tahle’s Voice is Heaven.
It’s not just her voice, but on how she plays with it. Tahle has the sweetest voice since honey was created. And the sweetness of her voice is even reflected in her soul, she is effortlessly lovable.
Whether she is singing up-tempo or down-tempo, she juggles her vocals in such a way that it makes her instantly recognisable.
The best selling point about her vice is that even non-fans will identify it and probably inevitably fall in love with her music. We hope she can make a whole album without it sounding like one song.
3. The timing of the release is bold and strategic
With the promising Tamy away in Europe for a considerable amount of time and Ammara Brown trying to figure out how her album was that forgettable and Cindy hinting on some huge African collaborations, Tahle has mounted a challenge.
She decided to drop a song right in the first month of the year and its a huge shout as she throws her name in the hat for a possible take over.
The next few months will be crucial as she tries to prove that she is the real deal. The single might have given us a hint of the sound she is running with. We suspect she is going for the Tiwa Savage type of sound.
4. Jah Prayzah looks set to be investing more in her brand
The body language of Jah Prayzah on the song as well the build-up to the single release show that the Military Touch Movement Boss believes in Tahle.
Another indication of this is the choice of the video director Nic Roux, the same who made Jah Prayzah’s Africa break-away song Watora Mari featuring Diamond Platnumz.
Roux has done videos for some of the continent’s best including Khuli Chana, Emmy Gee (Rands and Naira), Victoria Kimani and Victor Pedro.
And Jah Prayzah knows it very well that this is a great chance to make that business move and develop another star from his stable.
With such a backing from her Boss, Tahle might be the one we were waiting for.
5. We Need A Stylist for our Girl (Fashion Fix)
Tahle WeDzinza feat. Jah Prayzah – Give me mo
The school of style states that Stylists define red carpet celebrity looks by creating iconic moments to be remembered for generations. (Tahle’s style on the video didn’t represent pop star, in fact, it was uninspiring)
A look with a strong visual impact that doesn’t miss the point is a look that will collect a storm of flattering comments and write history. (Tahle pink outfit dampened the song and made her unpretty)
The stylist’s ultimate goal is to make their client’s style memorable for a good reason.
But we only have two ‘forgives’ to give to you and you have already expended one, Showbiz is for the daring, whether you are covering the skin or showing it off, set some trends, be the talking point. Be the centre of attention.
Watch Tahle WeDzinza feat. Jah Prayzah – Give me more
We don’t know what was going through her mind but we definitely know that she loves wearing bras that exposes her rich bosom.
In her dancehall career, Juwela has produced some very ‘booby’ videos showing her appealing cleavage both in its quality and quantity.
Some of her videos include Terms and Conditions whenshe pulled a surprising stunt of changing from Zim dancehall to Afro-pop.
Another one closest to our memory is BAddest, a pure Jamaican type of video, from the fashion walking with a troupe of girls who seem so ready to get into whatever trouble they can find.
Her latest video which dropped last December has all the hallmarks of a musical genius cum rebel who is not afraid to push the imaginative boundaries.
The song titled Good Gyaal bad Gyaal has a very colourful pool scene and she intelligently sampled one of TOK and Fortune Muparutsa’s tunes as she asks the brothers if they want a girl with a wickedest wine or biggest behind.
What to expect in the video: Lots of bras, beautiful girls, behinds and one brother to envy.

based star pocketed USD1500.00. The 21-year old who wrote his Advanced level examination in 2017 is a young brother to Munyaradzi Munodawafa who is also a gospel musician.
Munyaradzi who was on position 37 in the 2017 top 50 with a track tilted Bhodha Tavhara is also a previous third position prize winner when his hit song Zodzo came third in the same charts in 2012.
Winky D dominated the top 50 videos with Rugare and My Woman taking the first and second position, respectively. In the process, Winky D walked away with USD4500.

“At a time when sponsorship for the arts industry is dry, we are happy as Coca-Cola that the top 50 has stood the test of time being one of the avenues where artists can achieve their dreams,” she said.
“The Coca-Cola Radio Zimbabwe top 20 and the ZBC TV Coke on the Beat programmes which culminate into the top 50, have not only provided local artists with platforms to exhibit their talents, but they have also become life-changing events for many of the musicians.
“The top 50 music awards is one of the several ways in which The Coca-Cola Company and its bottling partners, namely Delta Beverages, Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited and Mutare Bottling Company plough back into the Zimbabwean community by helping local artists.
As you are aware, we have broadened our music initiatives to include Unplugged and Coke Studio Africa to increase opportunities for our hard working artists,” she added.
Apart from honouring the nation’s crème de la crème musicians, it was all smiles out for the 20 lucky viewers and listeners who correctly predicted the top five charts as they were also rewarded with various prizes ranging from smart HD television sets, home theatres, mobile phones and product hampers.
In 2017, there was a huge surge of fans who got the top five prediction correct as 130 fans correctly predicted the top five songs for radio and four people getting the television predictions correct compared to a total of 23 people in 2016.
Also honoured at the ceremony were Coca-Cola programme presenters who include Coke on the Beat, Coca-Cola Daily Sports Zone, Coca-Cola Radio Zimbabwe top 20, Coca-Cola Sports on the Driver and some of the behind the scenes crew members.
The Coca-Cola ZBC top 50 music and video awards are an annual music ceremony in which viewers and listeners vote for their favourite songs which would have done well during the course of the year.
Unlike other music awards where panels of experts are responsible for choosing winners, this one is unique as it belongs to the viewers and listeners.
Fans are empowered to select songs and videos of their choice through mobile phone SMS platform. There was overwhelming participation in 2017 with 1 204 419 votes being received for the Coca-Cola Radio Zimbabwe top 50.

Major League DJz’ Bandile Mbere has revealed that she is dating rapperNadia Nakai after a series of Instagram posts fueled speculation that she was indeed her boyfriend.
Major League DJz’ Bandile Mbere & Nadia Nakai. The Instagram picture that started it all
Bandile Mbere revealed to TshisaLIVE that they were an item.
Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Bandile first denied that they were anything more than friends.
“We are just friends, close friends. That is all we are. The truth is we are just friends, we might…we’re just very close friends.”
A few moments later he confirmed that they were a couple.
“We are dating. We have been dating for nearly a year now. We wanted to just clear all the speculation.”
He said that it was not a publicity stunt and they fell for each other after working together.
“We were just so close from always working together. She is just such an amazing person to be around. She is down-to-earth. She brings out the best in me.”
In 2016 she spoke to Slikouronlife about her break up with Dot, in which she explained that it was not caused by external parties, but that it was a decision they took to allow them to focus on their “own things”.
“You know that Dot has supported me for the longest time, and I’ve supported him for the longest time, and I think that sometimes we need to go our separate ways to build ourselves, and then come back together when we’re good.
“I think that’s what we both want to do at the moment,” she said, adding that, despite not being together at the moment, Dot remains in her heart.
Nadia and Dot’s relationship was hardly a secret. The two used to post loved-up videos and snaps of each other on social media, and dare we say, they melted the hearts of many fans.
Businessman Genius Kadungure aka Ginimbi flaunted his R4 million Bentley Car but Twitter was in stitches after he suggested that Bently manufactured its own iPads and that they are not from Apple Inc.
The word that Ginimbi was looking for was Tablet or Tab but he ended up doing the ‘all toothpaste is Colgate’ mistake and Twitter roasted him for it.
Last year in October we reported how Ginimbi was finding his old cars irritating and posted on Instagram that he was going to buy himself a new car.
