Award-winning Zimdancehall superstar Emegy Sylvester Chizanga, who is mostly known by his stage name Freeman, is set to launch his 13th album titled Me vs Me and the inaugural HKD Festival at Harare's Alex Sports Club at the end of the month.

The HKD Festival will feature  many superstars such as Voltz JT, Poptain, Feli Nandi, Delroy, She Calaz, Master H, Tamy Moyo, Takura, Nyasha David, Nutty O and Holy Ten just to mention a few.

Speaking with Standard Style, Freeman said the name of the upcoming album “Me vs Me” was inspired by him competing with himself and embracing his flaws.

“The name of the upcoming album “Me vs Me” was inspired by me competing with myself, embracing my flaws, me being in my own lane,” he said.

 “Me vs Me trying to find a balance between my heart and my head.”

Freeman said the upcoming album has a lot of Afro fusion and Afro pop in it. It took him slightly a year to create the album.

“There is a lot of Afro fusion, Afro pop in this upcoming album and you will hear a bit of the old Freeman even,” he said.

“The album took slightly over a year to create, there are some songs l started some time back and l came back to them now, some l created just a few months ago.

“I don’t really have a process of writing this one, my team and I had some ideas we put together, sounds and producers who could do that and we did it.

“Huge shout out to Shamex and Tama and my team as a whole for making this happen.”

Comparing the upcoming album with the last one titled Trophy album Freeman said the quality of Me vs Me is out of this world.

“Comparing Me vs Me against my last album Trophy the quality on this one is out of this world,” he said.

“Trophy album was good but this one the quality of the production and vocal is crazy, huge shout out to Nelit for that.”

Freeman said the song on the track number four is his favourite and it is dedicated to his wife.

“The upcoming album has many tracks and collaborations, which l cannot review to the public yet but the song on track number four has to be one of my favourites “ he said.

“It’s dedicated to my wife, it’s also her favourite no surprise there.”

“I wrote it from the heart and on this one l even used my local dialect, ‘Chikore Chikore’ be sure to check it out when it comes out track number four.”

He said fans could contribute to the success of the album by streaming and consuming the products. Also the success of the album will be measured by numbers.

“Fans can contribute to the album’s success by streaming and consuming the products and we will continue to put it out,” Freeman said.

“I am currently on tour already, but the official album tour starts after the launch.

“So by coming in their numbers to all my shows is the biggest contribution my fans can give towards this movement.”

“Also numbers will measure the album’s success and l hope to the numbers l had on Trophy album, which to date is my highest streaming album.”

“I hope for the album Me vs Me to surpass those numbers.

“I hope for people to come in their numbers to the album launch and HKD festival, which is the first edition. Come and witness greatness. Don’t forget to follow me to stay connected with all my updates @realfreemanhkd @freeman hkd,” he said.
