Speaking to entertainment reporters during the announcement, Max described Healing as a “testament to personal growth and spiritual rejuvenation.”
“This is more than an album. Healing is the journey I’ve walked through heartbreak, confusion, and finding peace,” he said. “Every track was born out of a real emotion, and my hope is that listeners feel seen and heard through it.”
The album features a fusion of soulful melodies, traditional Luo rhythms, and modern Afrobeat elements. Max also collaborated with several notable Kenyan artists, including Bensoul, Xenia Manasseh, and Ayrosh, to add texture and depth to the project.
“Okello Max has inspired so many souls through his songs, I can’t wait to hear the Healing song,” On of the fans commented on X(Formerly Twitter).
Industry insiders who attended a private listening session have praised the album for its lyrical maturity and sonic richness. In celebration of the album release, Max will host a live launch party at Mass House on Friday, July 12, an event he promises will be an immersive experience.
Fans attending the event can expect live renditions of the songs, spoken word interludes, guest performances, and behind-the-scenes stories about the creation of Healing.

“The stage, visuals, and lighting will all reflect the healing theme—warm, inviting, and intimate,” one of the organizers told SPM Buzz.
