KID Fox is back with something new this year. Zinunula, his latest release is a 10-track album whose title was derived from Fox’s inspiration to hard work. Zinunula is Fox’s second album after Wololo released in 2000 with modest success.
Best known for his 2005 hits, Love is a Good Feeling and Luganda Ne Mikwano, which were also included on the Zinunula album, Fox is yet to find the recognition he thinks he deserves.
His aptly named second album might well be his main rescue in the competitive music world.
The album is a mixture of dancehall, Afro-pop, reggae and reggaeaton. One unmistakable aspect on this album is Fox’s easy lyrical flow.
Fox manages to blend English, Luganda, Swahili and Jamaican patois and still maintain the lyrics’ coherence and rhyme in addition to preserving the songs’ positive messages.
On the title track, Zinunula, Fox urges people to work hard and not be swayed by detractors because everyone has their own chance at success. The fast song with a heavy bass line is characterised by Fox’s well co-coordinated and inspirational lyrical flow.
Other songs that stand out on the album include Night and Day featuring Moots, Rumours, Kukiriza, Uganda and Fed Up. Fox wrote all the songs on the album.
He also hopes to tackle several projects this year including a Ugandan tour and a performance at the Uganda North American Association Convention in US in September. Fox is also taking part in the sanitation song competition and working on the Zinunula video.
He is also signing up new acts like artistes James B and Moots under his Blessed Records label.
Born Stephen Kiggundu 29 years ago, Fox is a Makerere University graduate of economics and linguistics. He was inspired by Jamaican ragga star, Red Fox.
