South African Amapiano vocalist Tracy puts her name at the centre of AZALONDWE, a six-track project featuring Sly, Bassie, Sykes, Stixx, Tycoon, Xduppy and Goon Flavour.
The album gives Tracy room to work with several familiar names in the Amapiano scene. Rather than filling the project with solo recordings, she brings a different combination of collaborators onto every track. Lethiwe Sibiya also appears across the six songs, contributing to the vocal performances.
“Xesha” opens the project with Sly and Lethiwe Sibiya. The second track, “Ngyazama,” has a much bigger guest list, bringing Bassie, Sykes, T-Man SA, Lethiwe Sibiya and Basetsana Maluleka together.
Stixx and Tycoon join Tracy on “UBafo,” while Xduppy and Mr Seven Keys appear on both “Buya Manje” and “Fake Ones.” These two recordings give the middle of the album a connection, with the same collaborators returning for another performance.
The closing song, “Ngthanda Yena,” features Goon Flavour and Lethiwe Sibiya. It completes a project where Tracy shares the spotlight with other voices throughout the tracklist.
One thing worth checking out is the streaming performance. AZALONDWE reportedly passed 150,000 Spotify streams within its first 18 days, with “Xesha” leading the album’s recorded numbers.
Released through KGADAY PTY LTD, the album contains six songs with a total runtime of approximately 46 minutes.
