Odikwa finally dropping
Long-awaited, hot, pumping and in demand… PDK’s new album is coming.
The all-male trio PDK are at it again with their music and will soon deliver another promising and hot album. PDK, who usually release their albums around December, will be officially launching their 11th album in August. The artists caught up with tjil and here is what they had to share about their latest work.
Apart from going into studio, looking for producers and sitting down to come up with the lyrics, PDK said there was hardly anything new with the preparations for Odikwa, their latest album. Odikwa is an Oshiwambo word for baby carrier and it highlights their journey in the entertainment industry. Described in one sentence, Odikwa is the album that will impact people ‘according to the mood’ one is in at a certain time when listening to a certain song. “It’s about having fun, enjoying your life and taking care of yourself. Humanity no longer prevails in our society so what we are saying in Odikwa is everyone needs to take care of them,” they said.
PDK promises their fans that although the album is new and different, it is still the same old them. They say this is part of their growth from being in the industry for over 11 years. “If you follow our music you will realise that there is always something new from the production side. We follow what is trending and bring in our touch without losing ourselves,” said PDK. The trio slipped a few song titles from Odikwa including Oshike Naana featuring Castro, Kapena Onghenda and Odikwa.
PDK completely shut down the rumour of them not doing music anymore saying that they will be a group until the end of time. “We have just worked together on Odikwa. This should already be an indication that we are not about to stop this journey, we have not separated and we are still together,” they said. Being one of a few original music groups that are still together from the early 2000s, the trio says it’s because of a natural yet inexplicable spirit of togetherness that binds them together with the goal of entertaining and… there is no limit to PDK. “We just want to make history. We are not doing this for us but for the future musicians. We want to leave a legendary name behind. Anything that has to do with entertainment we will get involved. From film to choreography, we will leave the footprints of PDK everywhere,” said PDK.
The album launch will be in Walvis Bay as it will be an opportunity to meet and engage with their fans from the coast. “We will be having an album tour and will be introducing our music to our fans from different towns as we go. From Walvis Bay we will be heading Zambezi Region,” said the trio.
