Prior to the album's release, the singer penned an appreciative letter to his supporters for holding him down when he went MIA.

"Ngiyabonga to everyone who stood by me while I was quiet. Even when I stopped posting, you kept my name alive, making my song ideas trend like full releases. That gave me the courage to keep going. That gave me the courage to keep going."
"I’ve been moving around South Africa, working with many incredible people like Producer/Musician and @JohnLundun and my co-writer on this song, @AnzoNgubeni, to shape this and the album that follows. 
The album is called Touch Is a Move: Good Morning, and it will be released on the 4th of July. But it starts here, with #Deda.
“Mabudede ubumnyama buvele ukukhanya!”"
