Zimbabwean artist 5nine, born Tapiwanashe Kelvin Muzota, officially released his latest project, Bindura Hunk EP, on 31 January 2025. Following the triumph of his Optimus Vibes EP, this six-track compilation takes a more sentimental route, immersing listeners in themes of love, intimacy, and passion.
Described as “a love potion,” Bindura Hunk EP offers a stark contrast to its predecessor. While Optimus Vibes EP was an energetic celebration of success and motivation, this new project leans into personal reflections on romance and human connection. It is designed to be both a soundtrack for shared moments with loved ones and an introspective journey into the nuances of affection.
The title itself is a nod to 5nine’s heritage and identity. Bindura, his hometown, represents his beginnings and serves as a grounding force in his artistry. The term “Hunk” signifies confidence and allure—traits that define both his persona and his sound. By naming the project Bindura Hunk, 5nine underscores his commitment to creating music that remains true to his origins while exuding self-assurance.
“This EP is a testament to who I am as a musician. It’s about reconnecting with my artistic roots and producing music that speaks to my soul. Calling it Bindura Hunk felt natural because it embodies my background and my love for genuine, heartfelt storytelling,” he shared.
The overarching theme of Bindura Hunk EP ensures that each track is a heartfelt expression of love, seamlessly blending smooth melodies with poetic lyrics. 5nine’s signature sound—rich in emotion and authenticity—cements his status as the “Hunk from Bindura,” an artist who embraces sincerity in his music.
Adding depth to the EP are collaborations with Odheyi, a rising star from Masvingo, and T-KaSh Mbk, a Zimbabwean artist currently based in China. Their musical chemistry, cultivated over years of collaboration that dates back to their university days, brings a sense of nostalgia and unity to the project. “This EP wouldn’t be complete without the people who have been part of my journey from the beginning,” 5nine emphasized.
More than just a collection of songs, Bindura Hunk EP is a heartfelt dedication—to his roots, his artistry, and his listeners. Each track tells a compelling story, making for an emotionally engaging listening experience.
Now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and SoundCloud, Bindura Hunk EP invites audiences to experience love in its purest form through music.
