Three months after making her musical comeback, Bucie has set the record straight on why she decided to take a break from the industry.
In 2017, the singer stepped away from the spotlight after 10 years in the industry, saying she wanted to focus on the artists signed under her record label and spend more time with her family.
During her recent interview on Radio 2000, the singer said while many had speculated that her ex-husband convinced her to stop making music, she was the one who planned to go on the hiatus.
“People give my ex-husband way too much credit by saying he made me quit music. He didn't. It was time for me to take a break. I wanted to start a family, I wanted to have children and I needed to be there for my children because I know how the industry is. I wanted to be present for my children, and I knew if I continued being in the industry there was no way I was going to be that kind of mother to my children. And it was very necessary,” she said.
Now that she is back to her first “calling”, her mission is to continue building her legacy and paving the way for other artists.
Speaking to TshisaLIVE previously, Bucie said she's excited to share her latest song Faithful, which was released on May 24, and she's back working with her long-time producer Demor Sikhosana.
“We're staying true to our musical identities while also incorporating current sounds. This blend creates a unique and memorable experience for our listeners. You can expect a sense of nostalgia as Demor and I have always had great working chemistry. I'm grateful to everyone who has listened to Faithful and for the positive sentiments I've been receiving,” she said.
The 37-year-old star said during her hiatus from the spotlight she was focusing on building her record label Bucie Pty Ltd.
“Music is my life, so it naturally takes up most of my time. However, I've also been focusing on my record label and planning to grow my business to support emerging artists. Additionally, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and exploring new creative ventures.”
Asked if her record label will recruit artists, she said: “Only God knows what the future holds for me in the music scene. Throughout my journey, God has always been at the centre of how I've moved, and I continue to pay Him honour for the gift of my voice and the healing it brings through music. As I navigate the path ahead, I trust in His guidance and remain grateful for the opportunities that lie ahead.”
