Teddy Makadi just gifted us a whole diary in album form. A 10-track confession. A soulful embrace, packed into sound. And if you've been tapped into his journey from day one, then you know this hits differently.
"With Love, Makadi" isn't just a project; it's a sonic love letter to life, to culture, to expression. It's Makadi doing what he does best, again adding layers with pen, voice, and a vibe that doesn't play nice.
Straight out of Lilongwe, Malawi it officially arrived on June 1, 2025, after a rollout that already had the streets in a frenzy. From the moment "M'malele" hit the timeline, it was evident that Teddy was not here to play. That joint did numbers surpassing an impressive 3 million views and climbing, not only solidifying him as a rising star, but a force to be reckoned with.
"M'malele" was honest and heavy. "Naliyera" felt like a prayer. "Desire" a straight vibe. And all three were simply breadcrumbs to now the whole combo - With Love, Makadi.
"This album is a piece of my heart," says Makadi. "Every song is a letter to anyone who is willing to receive it. 'With Love, Makadi' is more than music - it's my story, my tribute to love in all its forms."
Front to back, this album mixes Makadi's Afro-Soul DNA and contemporary elements through themes of love, identity, longing, and resilience. It features four artists, and is a continuation of his previous album Makadi.
"With Love, Makadi," feels like an evolved sequel to his last body of work, Makadi. It was born in the same soil, but the blossom is a whole other level. The writing? Sharper. The vocals? More open. The energy? Probably more grown, but still based in the cultures it was birthed from.
There is something very healing about how Makadi delivers his truth, whether you are feeling love lost, engaging in the pursuit of peace, or just trying to take a breath. The album does not make proclamations. Instead, it makes whispers. And somehow, that feels even more impactful.
This is not a debut that tries to impress or win affection from everyone. This is a debut that connects.
The album is now streaming everywhere, along with behind-the-scenes content, music video, and soon to come merch.
Teddy Makadi is a R'n'B Malawian artist, songwriter, and creative storyteller known for his unique sounds and modern soul. With thought-provoking lyrics and a signature vocal style, he continues to push the boundaries of local sound and inspire a new wave of artistic expression.
