Like Mamelodi Sundowns FC on the DStv Premier League, amapiano is not ready to leave the top spot.
In fact, brace yourself for another amapiano season.
After releasing three albums since the beginning of the first national lockdown in March 2020, amapiano music producer Mr JazziQ is getting ready to release his fourth full studio album titled All You Need Is Piano.
JazziQ, whose real name is Tumelo Manyoni and who is from Alexandra, Johannesburg, has an impressive amapiano catalogue under his belt with massive hits like “Umsebenzi Wethu” and “Amaneighbour”, which featured the late Killer Kau, Reece Madlisa, Zuma and ThackzinDJ.
“Album Dropping Soon!” said JazziQ on Instagram, revealing a black and white cover done by Mini Photography.
The former member of the famous amapiano music duo JazziDisciples, formed with another music producer named Josiah Disciples, released his first solo album titled 0303 in 2020. He is still preparing his stock for shipping, but Sha Sha is two steps ahead.
Famous for songs like “Tender Love” featuring DJ Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa and “Woza”, Sha Sha has released a single titled “Ungowami” featuring Soa Mattrix from her up-and-coming album titled I Am Alive.
The 2020 Best New International Act BET Award winner from Mutare, Zimbabwe has already got her first full album ready for pre-orders on all online music platforms.
I Am Alive, which follows after Sha Sha’s first EP, Blossom, released in 2019, is scheduled for release in August 2022.
“It’s been a long time coming, it’s been a journey, highs and lows but here we are,” said Sha Sha – whose real name is Charmaine Mapimbiro – on Wednesday.
