Amapiano artist Laud has released an album, titled Melokuhle.
Laud, whose real name is Tumisang Kekana, hosted a listening session on Thursday at Tempo restaurant in Sunninghill, Sandton.
The 13-track album was released on Friday on all digital platforms under Gallo Music and features artists such as Cassie Ntuli, Neo Soul, TMan Xpress and Josiah Disciple.
Speaking to TshisaLIVE, the Vanderbijlpark-born artist said the album is about fatherhood, resilience and a tribute to his best friend.
“It's an album close to my heart. I've invited everyone to come and listen to a piece of art that I'm about to render. Melokuhle is a special child — she's my friend's daughter, so she's the first baby in our squad and he doesn't have a relationship with her because the mother isn't allowing him to spend time with her or access her.”

According to Laud, the album is a mixture of sounds but grounded in amapiano.
“With this album I'm expecting to boom because I put my blood and tears towards this project. I went to hell and back with this album. I think it should make something big out of it.
“This album took me five months to complete. People will definitely enjoy it.”
