“You know how spring is the rebirth of the season? Summer is the height of that rebirth where we start to celebrate,” she explains.

“So this upcoming project is a celebration for me. A celebration of life, a celebration of artistry, a celebration of the African continent.”

This new chapter is more than a sonic shift; it’s a personal evolution, she shares. After years of navigating the complexities of fame, Lady Zamar is reclaiming her narrative.

“There's been a lot of conversation about me that has never been driven by me,” she reflects, adding that she is ready to reclaim her story. “I’ve just been an unwilling participant who has also watched from the sidelines.”

Reflecting on Russian Roulette, Lady Zamar says the song represents a turning point not just in her music but in her life.
