The queen of bolobedu house is back with a fresh batch of tunes to soundtrack your Dizemba. In its 22 songs, the album sprinkles various genres; most notably amapiano through the log drum.
While she retains her frequent collaborators such as Master KG and Mr Brown, she also expands her palette as she works with the likes of Big Zulu, Blaq Diamond and Shangaan electro legend Penny Penny who appears on ‘Milandu’, a bolobedu remake of his 94 hit “Milandu Bhe”.
Yesterday, Makhadzi shared a message to her fans about the album on Facebook:
“Please have fun and be responsible. I made ‘African Queen 2.0’ for the N1 in your cars and/or taxis, for the weddings, for taverns, for Sandton, for the villages, for ekasi, for gym, for the parties and, most importantly, for the world. I hope this new music will continue to make you feel less stress and help you cope. You deserve to be happy and I love you very much.”
‘African Queen 2.0’ is a sequel to 2021’s smash ‘African Queen’ which holds the record for being the most streamed South African album by a woman artist. She might just fuck around and break her own record. Time will tell, but one thing that’s guaranteed, African Queen 2 will be everywhere this summer.
