Lulu set to drop Uchi tomorrow

Renowned R ‘n’ B star Lulu, real name Lawrence Khwisa is set to release his first single in the year tomorrow.

Breaking the news on his Facebook page, Lulu said the journey of his life has been coloured with angels that showed up as people.

In an interview with Malawi News Agency on Monday, Lulu said the new single Uchi, (honey in English) is a love song that everybody will enjoy.

He said: “I am telling the beautiful woman that I have been to different places where people talk ill about beautiful women as most of them are perceived to be in multiple relationships.

“Most people think having a beautiful woman is not a good idea. So, I am telling this woman that I have met her as a beautiful one and want to change the story of beautiful women.”

Commenting on his career, Lulu praised Wendy Harawa, the late Ken Khuma, Tionge Chikuse and Lucius Banda for helping him along the way.

“Imagine the whole Miss Malawi event booked the famous Wendy Favour Harawa in 2002 and she decided to give me a chance to show what I got,” said Lulu.

He said almost half of Wendy’s set was given to him as she did one song.

“She then called my name which was new to people on the stage. I was very happy because I was still in the early stages of my career,” said Lulu.

He also hailed Thatcher Ng’oma, a member of Kalimba Band for assisting him in his music career.

“He opened up my eyes musically. It was purely based on his ear to music. He showed up and taught me a lot about music theory,” said Lulu.

The musician urged up-and-coming artists in the industry, some of whom he said flock to his social media platform inboxes looking for directions and collaborations, to work hard to reach higher levels.

“It is my prayer that God blesses me so that I should be able to help young people who are eager to do something for the society,” he said.
