Zandie Khumalo on why releasing albums is a no-go

While Emtee is gaining success with his album, Zandie Khumalo feels as though singles are the way to go. This is because she feels as though people do not have time to consume albums, they opt for singles. Speaking to Briefly News, she said:

"We are in an era of singles and I do not think it will ever be the right time to release albums because the industry is changing. No matter how good you are people won't have time to listen to 13 Songs of just you alone. People are spoiled for choice when it comes to music, it is not like the olden days."
