Taking to social media to announce the development, Niyo posted on X, formerly Twitter, that he is thrilled to announce a new chapter in his music career by dropping a new project after a two-year hiatus. “I am thrilled to announce the tracklist for my upcoming album #NewChapter !

The five-track EP was produced by some of the biggest producers in Rwanda including the likes of Prince Kiiiz, Santana, X on The Beat and Loader. Niyo has not been releasing music ever since he parted ways with Murindahabi’s MIE on October 28, 2022, for fraudulently taking advantage of his talent and not pay him 30 per cent revenue of his YouTube income, among other causes.

Niyo remains one of the best singers and lyricists in the history of the Rwandan music industry. He rose to fame after the release of his first track 'Ubigenza Ute' and later dropped hit songs like Piyapuresha, Ishyano, Seka, Urugi and many others.
