Kindlynxsh On How Oliver Mtukudzi\u2019s \u2018Todii\u2019 Became His Soul-Baring New Single<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When questioned about his relationship with the song, Kindlynxsh responded without delay. \u201cFirst off, first and foremost, my parents played it all the time when I was a kid,\u201d he noted. Initially tied to fond childhood memories, his connection to the song gradually took on a more significant meaning. Todii is among his favorite African tracks, closely followed by another masterpiece from Mtukudzi, Neria. He aspires to sample that song in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to sample that so bad. Every time. Bro, that is my favourite song,\u201d he expressed with enthusiasm. \u201cI wish that my first time doing this was that song, but I\u2019ll figure it out and make that work.\u201d<\/p>\n

The acclaimed artist Oliver Mtukudzi, often referred to as Tuku, has played a crucial role in shaping Kindlynxsh\u2019s musical journey. \u201cI\u2019ve always loved the artist. That\u2019s the only person I knew even from Zim,\u201d<\/em> he said, emphasizing that many may not realize Mtukudzi\u2019s connection to Zimbabwe. \u201cMy parents always put me onto that guy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Choosing to sample Todii was more than a tribute to a musical idol; it became a means for personal exploration. Kindlynxsh shared that he has reached a stage in his life where he wants to confront unresolved issues within his family. \u201cI\u2019m like, damn, I\u2019m at a point; there\u2019s some things I want to get off my chest, something about my family. I want to go to Zim and document it,\u201d<\/em> he revealed. \u201cDamn, why not this beautiful sample that is so respected? Let me try to do it in my best way.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
