MBABANE – Renowned ‘Jika’ hitmaker Tendaness is set to drop a body of work with Jojo this November.

Fans of the duo and music lovers alike will be pleased to know that Tendaness and talented songstress Fikile ‘Jojo’ Tsabedze will be returning with a body of work in the form of an Extended Play (EP) titled ‘Tendaness and Jojo’. The EP will come after the duo’s debut collaboration wherein they released a single ‘Uthando Lwakho’ seven months ago, which was followed by a music video.

Views

On YouTube, the single garnered over 17 000 views and the video which was released two months ago has over 2 300 views so far. In a telephonic interview with Tendaness, whose real name is Tatenda Mandaza, he said the first single that would be released prior to dropping the EP is ‘Inyembezi’ which would be released this coming Friday. He further added that the EP will be available on all streaming platforms on November 12, 2021. The upcoming duo’s body of work will consist of five songs including their debut single, ‘Uthando Lwakho’.

The duo promised fans that the new songs will be something different from what they‘ve heard before. Tendaness went on to say, “I am very excited about the upcoming project which will be released under my label TendaMix with Jojo. While recording music for the project, we went out of our comfort zones and with this, I am taking things to the next level.”

Fans

Having signed Jojo under his label – TendaMix, he said fans can expect new music from her early next year. Tendaness mushroomed into the scene with his hit ‘Jika ft. Bholoja & LO’, a record that introduced the signature Tendaness sound and positively redirected the course of his journey. Even though 2017 was the year many were first introduced to his music, the inception of the Eswatini born DJ and producer’s career was a decade before. The release of subsequent singles ‘Love Me’, ‘Call On Me’, ‘Solo’, ‘Tell Me’ and ‘Make Up Your Mind’ verified his position in the music industry, proving that he’s not here by accident. Described as a ‘genre bender,’ Tendaness’ sound infuses elements of a variety of genres such as Jazz and Folk with electronic elements and the result is a sound with worldwide potential.
