Today marks the eagerly awaited release of Zichy’s debut EP, “Deep Hearted Sound”—a masterful fusion of Afrobeat and Afro-fusion designed to captivate listeners worldwide.
Featuring the standout focus track “Jerusalem”, the EP sets a new benchmark for intentional, soothing music that blends rhythm, emotion, and soul into a truly unforgettable experience.
At the heart of “Deep Hearted Sound” lies what Zichy describes as a deeply authentic and “deep-hearted” vibe. Each track draws from his personal experiences, exploring themes of love and life’s challenges in an immersive and relatable way. “I wanted to create music with purpose, something soothing and meaningful,” Zichy shares. “This EP is not just my sound—it’s my story.”
Over the past two years, Zichy has honed his artistry, refining a sound that seamlessly merges the raw energy of Afrobeat with the melodic richness of R&B and hip-hop. Recorded in Lagos, the EP features production from top talents including South Africa’s SNE, Hitsound, Uzoma, and Krox, delivering a musical journey filled with emotional depth and lyrical authenticity.
The focus track “Jerusalem” highlights Zichy’s ability to channel Afrobeat’s infectious energy, inviting listeners to celebrate life, love, and connection. Yet, beyond its vibrant beats, the EP delves into deeper themes, offering a thoughtful reflection on ambition, joy, and struggle. Tracks like “Life Style” serve as an anthem for success, while “Cheddar” explores the sacrifices and triumphs of chasing dreams.
Zichy stands out not just as an artist but as a storyteller, using his music to convey messages of perseverance, passion, and authenticity. “Deep Hearted Sound” marks a pivotal moment in his career—a bold introduction to his sound and a foundation for his future. “This project is about sharing my journey with the world,” Zichy says. “It’s the beginning of something lasting.”
The six-track EP offers something for every listener, from the sensual rhythms of “Panty Drop” to the celebratory energy of “Confam” and the motivational drive of “Cheddar.” Zichy’s ability to blend genres and emotions defines his unique artistry, ensuring that every note and lyric is intentional. “This EP is pure, heartfelt music, and I can’t wait for people to hear what I’ve created,” he says.
To celebrate the release, Zichy will embark on a tour across Nigeria and key African cities, with details coming soon. The EP is now streaming on all major platforms, alongside exclusive merch and pre-order bundles available through his official website.
