“For A Fool” is taken from Rina Mushonga‘s upcoming album In A Galaxy due out February 15 on [PIAS].
A few weeks before the release of her sophomore album, Dutch-Zimbabwean artist Rina Mushonga unveils a brand new song from the 12-track project. Don’t judge a book by its cover: if the genre-defying single “For A Fool” sounds at first like a festival of impassioned percussions and uplifting choirs, it actually appears to be nothing else than a sad love song. About the track, the artist explained:
This is an old love song or rather heart-ache song. Old, in the sense that it was plucked into existence over a period of time-in parts fictional in others less so. In a way it chronicles a betrayed lover tormented by the desire to trust again whilst acknowledging that everything has been tainted and can’t go back to how they were.
