Samboko’s husband and producer of the album Navy  said they decided to have the artist going in a different direction in the market as far as gospel music is concerned.

“When we took the decision of recording this album we thought it would be a good thing to come up with our own style.
It is a different album because it also accommodates the jazz music lovers. Most songs have the African feel,” he said.
He said most people who got the opportunity to listen to the album seem to be impressed with it.

“We thought it would be good to invite the people involved in the corporate sector and also to make the public aware that there is such a project,” he said.
Samboko urged all gospel music lovers and Zodwa’s fans to get themselves a copy of the album saying they would not regret it.
“It is one of the best albums that Zodwa has ever released. I must assure the public that by Saturday 10 August, the album will be available in all music outlets. I invite everyone to at least get him or herself a copy of the album,” he said. 

 
Meanwhile Zodwa also appealed for support from the public saying she would make sure she does not disappoints her fans.
“Rest assured, my fans will get the best out of me. Gospel music lovers  have been supporting me and I urge them to do likewise even on this album. My album will be available in all music outlets “she said.
