Award-winning Ugandan artist Vinka is back in the game after months of silence.

She made a bold statement on her return with ‘Nza Gukunda’, her first song in 2024 which she dropped a fortnight ago.

"Nza Gukunda" comes after her incredible successes, which include a 2023 Grammy Award nomination. The song not only demonstrates Vinka's flexibility as an artist but also her exceptional ability to establish a strong emotional connection with listeners, thanks to its enthralling melodies and poignant lyrics.

But it's not simply the music that holds attention. The accompanying images are a visual feast, expertly created by the gifted team of Aaronaire and Ali Musoke.

The same pair also directed the video, which features some amazing shots with vivid green and red hues. The video's male and female vixens add to the narrative, weaving a visual magic that takes the music to new levels and pulls you even deeper into its seductive embrace.

Vinka has a captivating voice that conveys the words with clarity and feeling. The song has a great tempo that accentuates Vinka's voice and gives the whole thing a dynamic pace.

She tells her partner in ‘Nza Gukunda’ that all she needs is his love and presence, and her lyrics express a message of love and loyalty. Listeners can relate to and feel touched by the song because of its sincere and straightforward lyrics.
