LEGENDARY musician Papa Penny wants Mzansi to know that he is back with a bang.
He released a new album titled Sesi Va Rosie on Wednesday, 4 October and he promises it will be a hit.
Speaking to Daily Sun, the 61-year-old reality TV star said that he added his old songs on the album, but there are also new songs.
"We've taken old songs and given them a modern twist. They're the same lyrics but the beats are different. And I think the songs sound different and nicer now. People can listen to the old songs and compare them to the new ones, I know they will enjoy the new ones.
"I'm moving with the times. As legends, we want to use one and the same rhythm and not change and still want people to listen to their music, but I am different. People need to know that the king is back," he said.
Papa Penny said he did not want people to call his new songs remixes, they were remakes.

"A remix is done when someone uses another person's songs. I'm remaking my own songs. I picked songs from my first album, Shaka Bundu which was released in 1994. Then also looked at all my albums to see which songs I'd love to remake," he said.
He also clarified that the title of the album was not stolen.
"Sesi Va Rosie is a song that is popular among Tsonga people. It's a traditional song I grew up singing from 1968. I know there are people who have songs with the same title, no one stole anything and no one owns it, it's a song that everyone knows.
"I recorded it four months ago, but I didn't release it because there was another popular song about Sesi Va Rosie. But now is the perfect time to release it," Papa Penny said.
The La Phinda Ishangane hitmaker is also working on a worldwide tour.
"I know some of my fans can't access digital streaming platforms, so I'll be visiting them. I'm starting a fan club where we'll visit different places and perform. I'll have a big tour next year because they want me in New York, Europe, Sierra Leone and a lot of other places," he said.
