Da Twinz, began recording that special blend of deep urban contemporary music with the group's debut single,"Ndeku", in 2004. And now, on their Fourth album "Tantilaala", the group delivers its most refined and soulful set yet. Like a fine vintage wine, Da Twinz, music grows richer and fuller in time, becoming more subtancle and complex with each album. "We try and make an album that is totally spiritually touching," says Deano. "No filler material. Just solid songs that expand upon what we've done before and allow our fans to witness and hear our growth."Da Twinz, premieres lush studio versions of songs ranking among its very finest compositions and performances, to which they credit a renewed sense of confidence and a willingness to take creative chances."I'm proud of all of the albums we've done," Deano says, "but this time we stepped out on our own and fine tuned things without a lot of outside help, did the majority of the work. I really think that this is one of our best albums."
You can hear that creativity and confidence in the lyrics, which Deano accepts are a bit more suggestive than previous efforts. The reason? "During our career we've made positive, meaningful and uplifting songs like 'Mudomo' and 'Nafunye ekyana' and we're very proud of that, "but no matter what your effort might be, if you're a true artist you get to a point where you want to step out of your box a little bit. So this time you're hearing a different side of Da Twinz.
We're never going to forsake our classic sound. We're just going to present it in a new way."
The motivation? "We realized that we don't put out a lot of party records and we wanted to get back into that vibe again," Deano offers, "as well as show love to the music that influenced us as we were coming up."
When asked to sum up Da Twinz,legacy,Deano offers, "From album and day one we have been a group that gives you consistency. We've never stopped growing. We're always pushing ourselves and we're extremely appreciative of the fans who have stayed by us from the beginning.
