Plenty has happened in the life and career of Nutty O since the release of 2021’s Mustard Seed, but a detour into dance music on 2023’s CornerStone is what crowned him one of the foremost voices of Zimbabwe-originating Afropop. On CornerStone follow-up Different Root, he upholds this responsibility, advocating for self-improvement and striving for better experiences.
“Doing better than last year, don’t believe it, I move higher this year,” he sings on “Ballon D’Or.” If there were any doubts as to who can change and how, the singer puts them to rest on “Everything Is Possible,” recruiting Jamaican reggae star Bugle for an uplifting message about the endless potential of humanity. There’s also an acknowledgment of divine orchestration on “Can’t Explain Grace,” where O admits that he was fated to be great, regardless of the circumstances of his birth.
Elsewhere on the record, Nigerian star Fido helps translate the perks and joys of superstardom on “Too Much.” There’s a continuation of Nutty O’s flirtation with dance music on “Chero Iripo,” but the undeniable draw here is “Mai Maria,” a heat-rock that unites Nutty O with fellow Zimbabwean star Gemma Griffiths for a tantalizing glimpse at the future of Zim music.
