Tanzanian R&B king Juma Jux strikes yet again with another serenading release Sumaku featuring celebrated East African Pop diva Vanessa Mdee.

The S2Kizzy produced-track is his second release this year and the lead single off his upcoming debut studio project, “The Love Album”. The love jam comes on the backdrop of Jux and Vanessa’s 2016 collaboration “Juu”. Just like the title (Sumaku is Swahili for Magnet), the R&B song is an attractive yet infectious sound.

Speaking ahead of the new release Jux says, “Sumaku is the lead single off my upcoming debut album and it’s my pleasure to collaborate with Queen Vanessa once again in this song that speaks of the irresistible attraction and magic of love between committed partners,” adding, “My fans should expect an album full of many flavors and sounds. I have been working tirelessly to give you an all round exciting, fun and entertaining project. Look out for the release date soon.”
