Diamond Platnumz – Melody ft. Jaywillz

‘Melody’ is the first song housed under Diamond Platnumz’s extended play ‘First Of All’ and it features talented Nigerian singer-songwriter Jaywillz

Succeeding his three highly acclaimed albums, Tanzanian artist Diamond Platnumz’s debut extended play First Of All blends a variety of sounds into a dosage of smooth melodies.  “I attempted to provide the people of the world different types of music.” , “When the world began to open up, I traveled to several nations and began recording myself.”, he said speaking to Apple Music.

A variety of cross-continental rhythms merge over an entertaining 10 songs covering bongo flava, Afrobeats, soukous, amapiano, and zouk, with notable cameos by Focalistic, Pabi Cooper, Zuchu, Mbosso, Jaywillz, and Adekunle Gold.

Speaking extensively on Melody, he said;

“I never used to know how to record and do vocals by myself; I used to travel with producers and engineers. The time the world stopped I was like, ‘I think this could be the right time for me to take time and learn’. With ‘Melody’ I got that hook on a flight so I sent it to S2Kizzy, who produced the song. ‘I feel like I can create a hit if you give me a proper beat for this one’, I told him. He sent an amazing beat and I actually recorded this song on tour to the US in October 2021. S2Kizzy sent the song to Jaywillz, and it’s my favourite, so that’s why it’s the first song on the EP. It’s the way I like it; I don’t wanna feature a person just because of big numbers, I want the person who can deliver best.”
