We know her as a television host, actress model and radio personality but it seems that there is a whole other world we do not know about Khanyi Mbau. The actress has quite an impressive resume and she is about to add singer to the list. Fresh from being signed to Mabala Noise, the queen of bling has announced that she will be releasing a single on Friday that is set to firmly establish her singing career.
She took to twitter and Instagram to give us a teaser of the new single and captioned it with: “A taste of my offering#mabalanoise drops this Friday on iTunes … IT’s HERE…. #khanyimbaushake#patwaNation“. The track has some Caribbean and patwa vibe to it reminiscent of Rihanna’s Work.
The actress is not new to this singing thing though. Earlier in the year she released a single called Play Play Freestyle which was recorded as she playing around in the studio. The track is a trap like sound that proved to be quite catchy.
Check out the teaser below!
