After a long break from music, Jonathan Tebatso known as ‘Calaba’ to his fans is back with his new single ‘Liphala’ which he says has been received well by his fans.
Tebatso who is from Leribe, told theReporter that next month he will be releasing visuals for his single and said fans should expect something different and it is going to blow to sweep them off.
He said he took a long break from music to reflect on himself and to try and perfect his craft. He said the music industry is challenging sometimes, so he needed some time to grow as an individual.
“Sometimes being an up and coming musician is fraught with many challenges like lack of equipment to produce your music. But I feel like taking that break has helped me come back as a better artist, and my craft is better than before.
“My new single actually expresses all the challenges that I endured, that contributed to me taking a break. It is a very emotional song and I felt that it is a good way to connect with my fans,” Tebatso.
He indicated that he is happy to be back and is thankful to people that downloaded his single and supported him. Tebatso said he is hoping to soon release an EP which he said will be an overall coverage of his journey in music.
He said he is also hoping to work with Commanda Obbs who is a Lesotho hip hop heavyweight in the near future as he looks up to him.
“He is one of my idols and I am hoping that soon I can work with him; I know for sure that there will be so much to learn from him,” he said.
He concluded by thanking his fans and saying it is his hope that the song will be the start of his journey in the mainstream.
