Our energy, we feed on stage comes from fans. A concert is what brings life to us, but however we have adapted to the current situation,\u201d he said on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Jah Prayzah said the album is free for everyone to download.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe album will be uploaded and it will be free. This is a gift for my fans, I love my fans and it is for free they can download it. It took me a year to create this album. I chose to launch it on Gateway Stream Music which is our local social media platform just like YouTube. A person can stream content and download it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have worked with Gateway Stream Music to make this album downloadable for Zimbabweans,\u201d said Jah Prayzah adding he will release the album\u2019s video on July 9.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are having a virtual live streaming show on July 9, exclusively on the Gateway Stream Music App. This is a virtual show with no live audience, you can all watch from the comfort of your homes. We do not want to break the Covid-19 regulations, as we are still in lockdown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can only say, be ready to be blown away by the new album on Sunday and the virtual live streaming show on Friday 9 July.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
