In a surprising turn of events, Tanzanian music sensation Harmonize has expressed his openness to collaborating with fellow artist Alikiba, dispelling long-standing rumors of rivalry between the two.
Harmonize revealed that, despite perceived tensions, he holds no grudges and respects the impact Alikiba has had on his musical journey.
During a recent interview, Harmonize disclosed that one of his songs, “Niambie,” was directly inspired by Alikiba’s hit “Nikiss.”
He emphasized the importance of fan support in his career and his willingness to work with any artist his fans desire.
“When it comes to music, I put everything aside. I really respect the fans, I really respect the music, so the demand of the fans who made me like this, saying we need a song to be made by a certain artist, why should I refuse?” Harmonize stated.
Reflecting on the influence of other artists on his career, Harmonize added, “I have no idea about any artist, I am like that because I believe that every musician has his own contribution that has made me here. If you listen to my old song called ‘Niambie,’ it is inspired by Alikiba’s song called ‘Nikiss’.”
He went on to explain the specific inspiration behind his song “Niambie,” highlighting the relatable themes of financial struggle and heartbreak that resonated with him.
“I got inspiration and saw that it is a topic that everyone can like because some of us who come from poor families like to complain because our lives are not good.
Even if you are abandoned in love, the first feelings send you to think that you are abandoned because you have no money, so I liked that song. And yes, I say that every musician has his own contribution to my musical life,” he explained.
Harmonize’s candid remarks underscore a broader message of unity and respect within the music industry. His willingness to collaborate with Alikiba, despite any perceived rivalry, sets a positive example for artists and fans alike, demonstrating that mutual respect and artistic inspiration transcend competitive boundaries.
As the Tanzanian music scene continues to thrive, fans eagerly anticipate potential collaborations between Harmonize and Alikiba, hopeful for new music that blends their distinctive styles and talents.
