To facilitate this creative process, Kaywa volunteered to work directly at Lumba's fully equipped home studio, recognising the importance of comfort and ease for the artist during this critical time.
Kaywa emphasised how this arrangement allowed for a more relaxed and conducive environment for the recording sessions.
The project saw Daddy Lumba stepping out of his traditional comfort zone, as he sought to experiment with diverse musical genres.
Kaywa stated that they explored an eclectic mix on the album, including root reggae, amapiano, Afrobeats, and his hallmark highlife sound.
"We recorded about seven songs, each distinct from the typical Lumba style; this was a conscious effort to reach a younger audience, particularly his own children," Kaywa shared.
