Mercy Myra is a Kenyan Queen in her own right thanks to her musical sounds that ruled the Kenyan music scene a couple of years ago.
However, her departure to the states for greener pastures dealt her flourishing music career a major blow as she took a long hiatus and less was heard from her until lately when she emerged with the news of her divorce with her celebrity husband, Attitude.
After a rough phase of divorce process that was concluded in December last year, Kenyan songstress Mercy Myra seems to have found a new lease of life as she is set to release new music.
To add icing on the cake, the US based Afro soul diva bagged a deal with Atlanta-based label, “Nu Royal Records”. According to a press release sent to various media houses, Mercy plans to collaborate with Grammy Award winning producer, Herman Little to create a “new” sound at her “new” home, Nu Royal Records.
“I’m thrilled to welcome Mercy to her new home here at Nu Royal. But I am even more excited to introduce the other side of Mercy that many have failed to witness. Mercy is an international icon with such powerful magnetism that transcends borders. This other side of Mercy is so gentle. The Nu Royal team is beyond excited to be working with such an amazing artist that can display such controlled strength through her music,” said Little.
Speaking about the move, Mercy Myra had this to say; “Music is my life. And through these last few years, I’ve experienced various challenges. But through it all I have recognized that music and life are quite similar. Music and life alike is a balance of order, rhythm and harmony.”
