Instead of marking her birthday with photoshoot snaps or a heartfelt message dedicated to herself, Thuli instead shifted her focus to her upcoming release.
She first released Hayi Suka, which was the first single from the EP. She then released Mali Yam, setting the tone for the entire project.
"MALI YAM plays with the idea of romance, blurring the line between love and ambition. What begins like a serenade to a lover slowly reveals a deeper devotion to money, freedom and possibility. A bold celebration of desire, independence, and the life you’re determined to build."

She also teased the title of her third song, Molo, explaining the creativity behind the song and visuals.
"MOLO is a love story about two people who meet with pure intentions and open hearts. It captures the excitement of finding a love that feels honest, gentle and certain. A promise to protect the feeling, to grow together and to believe in a future that begins with “hello” and quietly points toward forever."
Her fans are ecstatic about Thuli's release. However, some people were debating her age.

Thuli speaks music career
In a previous report from Briefly News, Thuli P was a guest on Radio 2000 as part of her album rollout tour. While there, she spoke about how she experimented with things when she was young, but is now comfortable with her career.
"I had an idea, because I was always ambitious and wanted to try different things. I was never closed off. I am glad that I started at a young age because when you're young, you're so open to trying new things, and there is so much room for mistakes. But as I grew older, I found my feet as to what really works," she revealed.
