Tanzanian singer Loui announces upcoming album ‘No Passport Needed’

Tanzanian singer and songwriter Loui has announced his upcoming album titled No Passport Needed, marking his first full-length project in two years. Known for his hit single “Hennessy,” Loui’s new album is set to showcase his unique blend of Afrobeat, R&B, and Bongo Flava influences.

The album will feature 15 tracks, all performed solo without any guest appearances or collaborations. Loui’s decision to keep the project entirely self-contained reflects his commitment to his artistic vision and his desire to make a personal statement in the music industry.

In a recent social media post, Loui expressed his dedication to his craft, stating, “I don’t care who’s dropping an album, who’s going number one—I’m here for the long run. No passport needed.” This statement underscores his determination to succeed on his own terms and to establish a lasting presence in the global music scene.

No Passport Needed follows Loui’s 2023 EP, Music & Soul, which was well-received for its fusion of genres and heartfelt lyrics. With this new album, Loui aims to further solidify his position as a prominent figure in the Tanzanian music industry and to introduce his distinctive sound to a wider audience.

Fans can look forward to an album that is both introspective and expansive, reflecting Loui’s growth as an artist and his readiness to take on the world stage without the need for external validation.
