The sensational Thiwe Mbola launches her first music video for the seductively intoxicating single Sekwanele. The single was released on iTunes earlier this year ahead of her forthcoming album titled Soul Therapy which is scheduled for release in 2015.
For Thiwe, the music video enhances the message in Sekwanele perfectly:
“The fact that I write from personal experience, portrays me as the simple girl next door. It makes me approachable and relatable. I believe most independent women will relate to Sekwanele as we tend to run away from love, just because it comes from a person who society feels is not good enough. The music video follows this storyline”.
Thiwe is currently in studio working on original compositions for inclusion on the forthcoming album.
“My songs are about life. I literally write from my very own personal experience. I write when I feel something. Whether it be love or motivation, my emotions for the day determine what the song will be about”.
Thiwe started out in the industry as an Afro Soul singer and this is the foundation for her approach to song, bolstered by house beats. Performing with a band is what Thiwe is most comfortable with as evidently experienced at her live shows which include the Ekurhuleni East Comes Alive, Macufe Divas Concert, the Cherry Jazz Festival in Ficksburg and more recently the Joy of Jazz Festival.
Thiwe’s smashing single ‘Crazy’ was included on Black Coffee’s Home Brewed album which led to more work on his Africa Rising Deluxe Album and the DVD. Other notable collaborations include work with Sai & Ribatone on debut album Here & Now as well as DJ Ganyani on his album The Family Gathering. More recently with DJ Kent on his album The Weekent and Mo Flava for Soulcandi Sessions.
