Docteur Love is back with a new single: “Linga Nga,” released under Universal Music Africa. Released last July 14th, this new track has already amassed one million views on YouTube and continues to win the hearts of music lovers across Africa. In an interview he granted, Singuila talks about his collaboration with fellow artist Gaz Mawete and the content of this song, which has become an anthem in African capitals.
In this song, Singuila narrates the story of a fraternal love between two people that shattered due to betrayal. To be more precise, he presents the sorrow of a man who, in sacrifice for his younger brother, ended up in prison and thought it wise to entrust his wife to him.
The elder brother, aware that his absence would be too heavy a burden for his wife, decides that his younger brother, whom he trusts blindly, should take care of the woman he loves to provide her comfort and hope. Unfortunately, the rest of the story is tragic. The younger brother eventually falls in love with his sister-in-law and has an affair with her, leading to her getting pregnant.
Regarding the message of the song, Singuila states that he doesn’t impose a specific way for listeners to understand it, as interpretations may vary depending on individual perspectives. Some may argue that human weakness can lead to such situations, while others may see it as diabolical and unjust to betray someone’s trust and love.
When asked if the song is inspired by a true story, Singuila mentions that such situations are prevalent in daily life and that many people have experienced or witnessed similar betrayals. He found it interesting to address this theme in a song.
The collaboration with Gaz Mawete happened naturally when they met in Kinshasa. Singuila praises Gaz’s evolution as an artist since his appearance on The Voice and appreciates his talent and dedication to music.
As for the potential success of “Linga Nga,” Singuila believes the feedback has been positive, and he thinks it could become a big hit.
Addressing his nickname “Docteur Love,” Singuila explains that it stems from his focus on exploring the various aspects of love through his music. He considers himself a specialist in the “disease of love” and takes pride in dedicating his career to it.
Regarding being considered a legend in urban music, Singuila feels honored but believes he is still too alive to be a legend. He sees himself as part of the ongoing legacy of artists in the music industry.
In conclusion, Singuila expresses gratitude to his fans and assures that there will be more songs in the future, not all of them focusing on drama, but also offering more uplifting stories.
His final message to readers is to be passionate about their endeavors and to fight for their ambitions despite obstacles and naysayers. He believes that facing challenges makes victories all the more rewarding, and those who doubt you today might applaud you tomorrow.
