The collaboration is something of a victory lap for artists who have more than established themselves in their respective lanes. For those who have been waiting for more information regarding the much anticipated collabo, Tresoe has shared all the details regarding the project.
In a recent Instagram post, Tresor shared the cover art of the project as well as the tracklist. Among the songs on the body of work are “Stimela,” “Funu,” “Folasade,” La Vie Est Belle,” “Soro,” “Dust in the Wind” (Ft. Beatenberg), “Angeline” and “Cherie” (Ft. Tyler ICU), “Malaika,” “Starry night,” “Limbisa Nga,” and “Neriya”. Taking to his Twitter account, the star also announced the release date of the album. “Proud to finally share the official Artwork + Tracklist for our new album SCORPION KINGS X TRESOR- Rumble In The Jungle OUT next week Friday 9 April. @KabzaDeSmall_ @DjMaphorisa https://platoon.lnk.to/RumbleInTheJungle… #ScorpionKingsxTresor #RumbleInTheJungle,” Tresor wrote.
In an interview with PAM, Tresor spoke about stepping out of his comfort zone by working on amapiano sound and his amapiano song writing approach. “My songwriting approach shifts when writing to amapiano. The rhythm, the drums and the moody , dark and sweet sound of amapiano take me back to the source . I write from our our roots with limits and feel free to be inspired by sounds from all over the continent….West African , central africa , East Africa and Southern Africa,” said Tresor.
Speaking on heights he would like the album to reach, Tresor said: “I would really love to see the project reach the whole African continent and connect with different generations as well as introduce the amapiano sound to the global mainstream audience. It’s such a beautiful project and I hope the world will get to connect with it beautifully.”
