i have simphiwe’s album. i am more impressed with thandiswa, both with the singing and the music. some of simphiwe’s work is really, really good but i think she would have benefited from better production work. get to the thandiswa. i think you really dig it.

I wonder if she was an American R&B Artist or if India.Arie recorded this song, would it receive more acclaim? This song reminds me of a mash up of many artists/groups...Family Stand comes to mind. Some have called her the Mariam Makeba of her generation. We'll find that out in due time, but from the samples of her album, I am impressed. Excellent.
