Mail & Guardian’s entertainment round up included news about Tumi Molekane and Vincent Bones.
Tumi Molekane to release new mixtape
Hip-hop artist Tumi Molekane will be releasing a track a day over the next two weeks beginning on May 18 as part of an exclusive mixtape collaboration with The Singleton single malt whisky. Each of the ten tracks will be made available for free streaming on SoundCloud between May 18 and May 29. The mixtape, titled Made Of Taste, is a build up to the release of Molekane’s third solo studio album, The Return of the King, which is scheduled for release later this year.
Vincent Bones releases debut album
The recent winner of Idols SA, Vincent Bones, has finally released his debut album titled Shaded Soul. Bones was crowned the winner of the singing competition in November 2014, beating fellow contestant Bongi Silinda.
He won the hearts of Idols fans with his heart-wrenching story of how he used to live on the streets as young boy, eating from rubbish bins and begging for money and food and then finally finding shelter at the Boys Town home. His album is titled Shaded Soul because he believes “every piece of music has been shaded with soul”.
He gave fans a taste of original content when he debuted his first single, Let Me Love You, which was written especially for him during the Idols competition in 2014. His follow up single is titled My Lady. Shaded Soul features an “eclectic mix of house music, Ballads, hip-hop, a bit of Afrosoul and elements of rock”. Bones worked with artists Ziyon, Kwesta, Reason, RJ Benjamin, Zubz, Jaziel Brothers, Thaso, Buks, Ganja Beatz, Tresor and Zw(A)rt. His album is available on iTunes and in music stores.
