She’s back as many will say, the sky limit for Juliana. Like all divas taking a risk and changing a look is not a problem for Juliana. She has cut off her hair and she looks better and hotter.
She has been silent for a while recording her new album. She has just released a new Gospel track “Kanyimbe” and a few days ago she released a new track (coming to you soon)

Unlike the old times where she has recorded from Fenon Studios only, this time round she has recorded a few in different studios, experimenting and trying out different producers but most of the album has been recorded at Fenon Studios.

About “Kanyimbe”

It is a Gospel inspiration song based on a real life story. Why a Gospel track? “I have been singing  about everything and not a gospel song thanking and appreciating everything that God has done for me. God has brought from far, helped me go through many things” She has also grown up in so many ways.
