With her trademark velvet voice and a string of hits to her name, there’s no doubt Shekinah is one of SA’s biggest talents.
Two years ago, the Durban-born singer released her platinum-selling album Rose Gold, and now the 26-year-old has cut her second album, Trouble in Paradise, which features her brand-new single, Fixate.
We caught up with the former SA Idols contestant for an exclusive chat.
You’ve been quiet since the release of Rose Gold two years ago. Did you take a break?
Yes, I took time out. It was important, you become so consumed in all these worldly things, and I really decided to take a break to acknowledge myself as a person and to establish my festival, Rosefest.
Tell us about your new album.
I started working on it straight after Rose Gold, and basically, the thought process continued. Rose Gold was about where I was at that time, I was 21/22 [years old]. You’re wearing tinted gold shades and are oblivious to the lessons and realities.
