Singer Thiwe makes long-awaited return to the music scene

Songstress Thiwe Mbola is ready to make her return to the music industry.

Thiwe is widely known for her songs Crazy and My Dream featuring Black Coffee. Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Thiwe said her break from the music scene was refreshing.

“I got to step away while trying to figure myself out as an artist. Also had the opportunity to observe and learn since the industry is always evolving. All this is helpful in my comeback because I now know for sure what I want, how I want it, how I intend to achieve it and everything needed to achieve it.”

An artist will always be an artist. Regardless of how long they stay away their creativity doesn't stop.

“I returned because I've got something to say. I'm happy with the music I'm making and I'm ready to share that with people. I've always heard life begins at 40 and I now understand that. I'm ready to share this version of myself,” said Thiwe.

“I'm working on my album due for release early in 2025, with a single dropping before the end of the year. From there on, it's live performances because it's important to take the music to the people and music connects better when performed to a receptive audience. I'm also still working behind the scenes with my educational events such as workshops, masterclasses, while providing platforms for up-and-coming talent through our free audience development concerts. I look forward to doing more for young talent.

“I'm looking forward to performing at the Afrofeast artist line-up announcement next week as well as the Free State Fashion Week in November.”
